Description

CarboMer CM400

CarboMer CM400 is a high-efficiency crosslinked Polyacrylic Acid polymer optimized for creating high-viscosity gels, stable emulsions, and controlled rheological profiles in pharmaceutical, personal care, and cosmetic formulations. Known for its strong thickening capability and excellent clarity when neutralized, it is ideal for hydroalcoholic systems, topical applications, and formulations requiring a smooth, elegant texture.
CarboMer CM400 appears as a white, lightweight, hygroscopic powder that disperses efficiently in water. Upon neutralization, it swells to form clear, high-viscosity gels with pseudoplastic flow behavior, enhancing spreadability during use while maintaining stability and suspension capability at rest.
In pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care formulations, CarboMer CM400 is used in:
• High-viscosity topical gels, serums, and dermatological treatments
• Hydroalcoholic sanitizers and antiseptic gel systems
• Ophthalmic and mucosal formulations requiring clarity and gentle texture
• Creams and lotions requiring robust emulsion stabilization
• Oral care gels and viscous rinse formats
• Controlled-release platforms and transdermal preparations
CarboMer CM400 offers strong resistance to shear degradation and provides consistent rheology even in systems containing surfactants, electrolytes, or active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its strong gel formation allows formulators to achieve both aesthetic and functional performance.
CarboMer supplies CarboMer CM400 with control over viscosity, crosslink density, particle size distribution, moisture content, and microbial purity. The material is produced under stringent quality controls and is suitable for regulated manufacturing environments.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-protective, tamper-evident containers to preserve stability. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Documentation includes Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and complete traceability.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR), viscosity after neutralization, loss on drying, pH (after neutralization), residual solvents, and microbial limits. CarboMer provides extensive formulation support to ensure proper hydration, dispersion, and neutralization for optimal gel performance.
As with all CarboMer rheology modifiers, CarboMer CM400 is supported by reliable global supply, rigorous quality assurance, and technical expertise to ensure safe, stable, and high-performance product development.
