Carbomer 980 and 940 have good thickening, emulsification, suspension and good transparency, and are widely used in skin care creams, hand washing gels, sunscreens, alcohol-free perfumes, hair conditioners and other daily chemicals In, Desheng currently produces and develops two models, namely Carbomer 940 and Carbomer 980, which belong to the Carbomer series. Which of the two is better? This is what many customers want to know when buying. Today, the editor of Desheng will take everyone’s question to explore.

To know this answer, we must first understand the difference between Carbomer 980 and 940. Compared with Carbomer 980 and 940, the polymer molecules are larger. Under conditions of different concentrations, temperatures, and pH values, Their viscosity changes and rheological changes are different, and their ion resistance and shear resistance are also different. . The conventional viscosity of Carbomer 980 is 40,000-80,000, and the conventional viscosity of Carbomer 940 is 50,000-650000. In contrast, the conventional viscosity of Carbomer 980 is higher.

Secondly, carbomer 940 has better permeability than 980, but if you need to prepare 75% leave-in gel, you need to use carbomer

980, because carbomer 940 can only be applied to a concentration below 65%, the gel will become white if it exceeds this concentration and directly affect the appearance.

But 980 has higher ion resistance than 940, so 980 can provide relatively higher viscosity and yield value when the ions increase.

The last thing to say is the difference in application. Carbomer 980 has slight elasticity and skin

It feels moisturizing and smooth, suitable for medium or thick-feeling formulas, and it is not sticky after use; Carbomer 940 has a clearer skin feel and is suitable for refreshing formulas, so we cannot generalize which of the two is better. , But should choose the right product according to the specific application direction.

So if you want to answer the question of which carbomer 980 or 940 is better, you can’t just rely on a single factor.

On the other hand, you must first consider specific needs and applications, such as skin care products, whether it needs to be sticky or refreshing

Yes, the recommended models are definitely different. The concentration should also be considered when making hand-washing disinfection gel. The carbomer models for different concentrations are also different.

The supply of Desun Carbomer 980 and 940 is increasing day by day, and the products are exported to foreign countries. Because of the company's rich experience in the research and development of biochemical reagents, it has contributed to the process of replacing imported reagents with excellent domestic reagents.
