Carbomer & Acrylates polymers

Our life science division presents our partner Corel Pharma Chem fabricants of the next-generation polymer technologist in the field of the “Acrylic” based specialty polymers.

Acrypol range is a synthetic high molecular weight cross-linked water-soluble polymer of Acrylic acid, which is known as “Carbomer”/ “Acrylates polymers”. It is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and household industries.

It is available in powder and liquid form, which is soluble in water, alcohol, and glycols. Before neutralization, the pH of the Acrypol grade solution lies between 2.5 and 3.0.

General Properties:

  • Thickening – To produce wide range of viscosity and flow property
  • Suspending – Suspending of insoluble ingredients like cosmetic beads
  • Stabilizing – To provide emulsification and stabilization of high content of oils and waxes.
  • Sustain and control release – Allows controlled drug release in solid dosage form in less concentration.

General Benefits:

  • Thickening efficiency High viscosity at low concentration
  • Uniform performance Carbomer gives uniform viscosity performance, while natural gums vary in their performance
  • Temperature Stability There is no significant effect of temperature on polymer
  • Unaffected by aging Excellent shelf life
  • Microbial Resistance Resists bacterial attack and does not support mold growth
  • Versatility Although primarily used in aqueous systems with neutralization, it can also be used in solvent systems, with or without neutralization
  • Elegance Smooth and luxurious feeling
