How to Use
1. Thickening Agent
Carbopol 940 Liquid is used to increase the viscosity of formulations, providing the desired thickness in products like gels, lotions, creams, and shampoos.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.5%–2% Carbopol 940 Liquid, depending on the desired thickness of the formulation.
- Incorporation: Carbopol 940 Liquid can be added directly to the water phase of your formulation. Stir the mixture continuously to ensure even distribution.
2. Gel Formation
Carbopol 940 Liquid is ideal for creating clear gels, making it suitable for products such as hair gels, facial gels, and hand sanitizers.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.5%–1.5% Carbopol 940 Liquid for gel formulations, depending on the desired consistency.
- Incorporation: Add Carbopol 940 Liquid directly to the water phase and mix well. Once incorporated, adjust the pH to the desired level (usually pH 6–7) to activate the gelling process.
3. Stabilizer for Emulsions
Carbopol 940 Liquid helps stabilize emulsions by preventing phase separation and maintaining a smooth, uniform texture in emulsified products like lotions and creams.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.2%–0.5% Carbopol 940 Liquid to stabilize emulsions.
- Incorporation: Add Carbopol 940 Liquid to the water phase of the formulation. Ensure proper mixing before combining with the oil phase to achieve a stable emulsion.
4. Rheology Modifier
Carbopol 940 Liquid is used to adjust the flow properties of a formulation, providing the right viscosity for products such as serums, lotions, and facial masks.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.2%–1% Carbopol 940 Liquid to adjust the viscosity.
- Incorporation: Add Carbopol 940 Liquid to the water phase and stir thoroughly to achieve the desired consistency and flow.
5. Improving Sensory Feel
Carbopol 940 Liquid helps improve the texture and sensory experience of a product, giving it a smooth, non-tacky, and luxurious feel when applied to the skin.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.5%–1% Carbopol 940 Liquid for improving texture.
- Incorporation: Blend Carbopol 940 Liquid into the water phase, ensuring full dispersion. This will create a smooth, pleasant feel when the product is applied.
