On the Uses of Carbomer
Carbomer is widely used in various fields. In the field of medicine, it is often used as a gel matrix. Because of its good thickening, stability and thixotropy, it can evenly disperse the drug, help the drug to release slowly and prolong the drug effect. Made into an external gel and applied to the skin, it can make the drug better adhere and release slowly, and improve the percutaneous absorption rate of the drug. For example, ointments for treating skin diseases rely on its work.

In the cosmetic industry, carbomer is also widely used. One is a thickener, which can adjust the viscosity of the cosmetic to make it suitable for texture and easy to use. For example, in lotions and creams, adding carbomer can improve the rheology of the product and make the application smoother and more uniform. Second, it can be used as a suspending agent to stabilize the suspension of insoluble ingredients without precipitation and maintain the uniform appearance of the product. Furthermore, carbomer can form a protective film in skin care products, which has a moisturizing effect, helps the skin retain moisture and makes the skin moist.

In the field of daily chemical products, carbomer can also be seen. In shampoos and body washes, it can increase the consistency of the product and give the product a good texture. At the same time, because it can be compatible with a variety of surfactants, it helps to improve the stability and foam performance of cleaning products, making the foam rich, delicate and lasting.

In short, Carbomer, with its unique physical and chemical properties, plays an important role in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, daily chemical and other industries, improving the quality and performance of many products, and is an indispensable raw material.
