Description

CarboMer CM403

CarboMer CM403 is a high-performance crosslinked Polyacrylic Acid polymer engineered to deliver strong thickening, excellent clarity, and superior stabilization in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care formulations. It offers high viscosity at low use levels and forms smooth, elegant gels when properly neutralized, making it suitable for premium gel systems, emulsions, and hydroalcoholic formulations.
CarboMer CM403 appears as a white, hygroscopic, free-flowing powder that hydrates readily in water. Upon neutralization, it swells to produce clear, high-viscosity gels with pseudoplastic flow behavior. This supports ease of application while maintaining formulation stability and suspension properties at rest.
In pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care applications, CarboMer CM403 is used in:
• High-clarity topical gels, serums, and dermatological treatments
• Hydroalcoholic gels for antiseptic and sanitizer products
• Ophthalmic and mucosal formulations requiring gentle texture and transparency
• Creams, lotions, and dual-phase emulsions requiring strong stabilization
• Oral care gels and viscous solutions
• Controlled-release formulations and transdermal delivery systems
CarboMer CM403 is optimized to maintain viscosity in systems containing alcohols, surfactants, electrolytes, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its strong gel-forming ability and stable rheological profile make it ideal for demanding formulations requiring both sensory appeal and functional robustness.
CarboMer supplies CarboMer CM403 with control over viscosity, crosslink density, particle size, residual monomers, moisture content, and microbial purity. Manufactured under stringent quality systems, the material is suitable for regulated production environments.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Documentation includes Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and complete traceability.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR), viscosity after neutralization, pH (after neutralization), loss on drying, residual solvents, and microbial limits. CarboMer provides detailed formulation and technical guidance to ensure optimal hydration, dispersion, and neutralization for maximum performance.
As with all CarboMer rheology modifiers, CarboMer CM403 is backed by dependable global supply, stringent quality control, and technical expertise to support the development of safe, effective, and high-performance formulations.
