How Do Carbomers Work?
Carbomers are treated as thickeners and stabilizers with their high solubility in water and polar solvents.
The hydrophilic properties of polymer materials have benefited the commercial area.
If added to water and polar solvent, they quickly dissolve by absorbing water.
At the same time, it causes the aggregates to recover after incorrect dissolution processes.
The hardening process here is described as follows.
The polymer particles are in powder aggregate form.
The outer surface of this powder aggregate prevents the wetting of the inner surface of the particle.
In this way, the outer surface of the particle is hardened and water is prevented from reaching the inner parts.
The method of adding carbomers to water depends on the amount of dispersion to be obtained and the amount of concentration.
The best mixing speed is 800-1200 rpm.
Motor mixers to which polymers will be added must have the ability to mix by shaking.
Mixers with high shear levels should not be used.
Carbomers also cause permanent viscosity loss when using mixers with such mixing effect.
This situation is so important that it can reach the 50% loss level.
Because these materials will be used with their viscosity increasing and thickening properties, they will have great disadvantages in terms of cost.
How is the Carbomer Added to the Mixer?
Before starting the mixing process, the propeller in the mixer is lowered to the lowest point of the mixer.
In this way, agitation and vortex formation are provided during mixing.
After the solvent is added, the mixing process is started at 1200 rpm.
When sufficient swirl is formed, carbomers are added to the area where this swirl occurs on a sieve.
This is because each Carbomer particle is wetted in the solvent vortex.
If a sieve with metallic form is used, min. A static charge is created.
The mixing speed should be reduced to avoid excessive compression of the air during addition.
Emulsifier is added before neutralization process.
What are Neutralization Chemicals?
In alkali metal solutions ( NaOHand KOH) in less than 20% Ethyl Alcohol, Carbomer solutions.
Triethanolamine (TEA), Carbomer solutions containing up to 50% Ethyl Alcohol.
2-Hydroxy Propyl Ethylene diamine can neutralize up to 70% Ethyl Alcohol solutions.
Also, some types of carbomers have different polymerization agents.
What are the Usage Areas of Carbomer 980?
Carbomer 980 acts as an emulsifier.
Carbomer 980 prevents the separation of oil and liquid components in a solution from each other.
Carbomer 980 helps to control texture control, consistency and fluidity control in cosmetic products.
Carbomer is used to give gel consistency in the manufacture of antibacterial gels.
Carbomer 980 is used to give consistency in the manufacture of make-up materials in the cosmetics industry.
These; hair, nail and skin products.
In some formulations, they help to disperse the insoluble solid particles in the water and keep them suspended.
Carbomer 980 is used as a rheology modifier in the manufacture of tire repair creams.
In the manufacture of products with fuel properties in barbecue applications specified as chafing fuel, methyl alcoholused with.
