The selection of the right carbomer is a critical decision for any formulator aiming to achieve optimal rheological properties in their products. With various grades available, understanding their distinctions is key. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers Carbomer Ultrez 21, a product that stands out for its performance and formulation ease, making it a popular choice among cosmetic and pharmaceutical developers.

Carbomers, chemically known as cross-linked polyacrylic acids, are synthetic polymers widely used for their thickening, suspending, stabilizing, and emulsifying capabilities. Different grades, such as Carbopol 940, 980, 934, and the more advanced Carbomer Ultrez series (including Ultrez 20 and 21), possess distinct characteristics based on their molecular weight, cross-linking density, and the solvents used during polymerization. Traditional grades like Carbopol 934 and 940, often produced using benzene or xylene, can sometimes have concerns regarding residual solvents. Modern grades, like Carbomer Ultrez 21, are typically synthesized using more preferred solvent systems and offer enhanced properties.

Carbomer Ultrez 21 distinguishes itself primarily through its 'self-wetting' capability. This means the powder disperses rapidly and efficiently upon contact with water, often without the need for high-shear mixing or special dispersion equipment. This feature significantly reduces processing time and complexity, making it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to optimize production. Traditional carbomers often require vigorous agitation to prevent the formation of agglomerates, or 'fish eyes,' which can affect the clarity and texture of the final product. Carbomer Ultrez 21, by contrast, reliably forms clear gels with minimal effort.

Furthermore, Carbomer Ultrez 21 offers a desirable rheological profile characterized by a 'short flow' and 'non-drip' consistency, ideal for products that need to spread easily yet hold their shape. It provides excellent viscosity build and is known for forming 'sparkling clear gels' and creams. Its compatibility with electrolytes and active ingredients also makes it a robust choice for complex formulations. While other carbomers may offer specific benefits, such as extreme shear resistance or very long flow, Carbomer Ultrez 21 strikes a balance of performance, ease of use, and aesthetic appeal, making it a versatile workhorse for a broad range of applications.

For formulators seeking a reliable, high-purity, and easy-to-process rheology modifier, Carbomer Ultrez 21 is an excellent choice. As a premier high viscosity carbomer supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing this superior ingredient to help you achieve outstanding results in your product development.
