Product Description

Carbomer U20 

Carbomer U20 is a hydrophobically modified crosslinked acrylate copolymer. It acts as high-efficient & low-dosage thickener and suspending agent as other traditional carbomer resin, also provides electrolyte tolerance and unique sensory benefits in formulas. Its low dispersion viscosity before neutralization, making it easy to disperse, transport and process. It also can be used in systems with moderate surfactant content, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
