NM –Carbomer 21

 NM –Carbomer 21 

INCI Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

NM–Carbomer 21 is a hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer, provides high viscosity with short flow properties. Its self-wets and disperses quickly in minutes, which remarkably meets formulators’ ease-use need. It delivers excellent thickening efficiency at a wide pH range which makes it a good choice for wide applications. It is ideally suited for use in formulations containing higher levels of oils, botanical ingredients, in formulations containing higher levels of oils, botanical ingredients, and hydroalcoholic gel, antibacterial gel hand, hand gel sanitizer, sanitizer gel with alcohol. Even at high concentration, NM-Carbomer21 maintains excellent clarity.
