Carbomer 981 (INCI Name: Carbomer) is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer. It performs the same as Carbomer 941. But it is polymerized in co-solvent system of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane..   Features and Benefits - Outstanding long flow property - Highly efficient at moderate and low concentration. - High clarity   Recommended Applications - Topical lotions, creams and gels - Clear gels - Moderately ionic systems   Formula Guidelines - Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.5%. - To disperse Carbomer941 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sifted to dispersion medium while the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid formation of lumps; extremely high shear rate mixer should be carefully employed to avoid viscosity loss. - The ideal viscosity can be achieved at ph ranges of 5.0~10.0; To achieve maximum thickening, Carbomer941 should be neutralized; in a hydoalcoholic system, a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on the amount of alcohol to be gelled. - After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening ability.     Please find more about Carbomer 981 on TNJ Carbomer TDS.       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
