Description
Carbomer 980 is a crosslinked polyacrylate polymer and sometimes preferred since it is polymerized in a cosolvent system.Acts
as a thickening agent with outstanding long rheological behavior. It is highly efficient at moderate and low concentration. It
provides high clarity and resists temperature effect to viscosity.Used forclear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, creams and shampoos.
