Carbomer 940 is a polyvinyl carboxy polymer used as a viscosity enhancer, gelling agent, or suspension agent. The carbomer 940 is associated with the wings of pentatheritrol, and is primarily used in systems where sparkling clarity or a fast viscosity response is required.
PH: 2.7 – 3.3 (0.5% neutral solution)
Color: White
Clarity: >= 80.0% (neutral solution)
The CIR Expert Panel evaluated scientific data and concluded that carbomer polymers were safe as ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products. … Clinical studies with carbomers have shown that these polymers have up to 100% reduced potential for skin irritation and sensitization.
The carbomer solution will be acidic until neutralized, and the tetra solution will be basic until combined with the carburem solution.
