Carbopol® Ultrez 10 Polymer

Carbopol® Ultrez 10 polymer is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer that provides efficient rheology modification with enhanced self-wetting for ease of use.

Carbopol Ultrez 10 polymer can replace Carbopol^® 940 polymer and Carbopol^® 980 polymer for applications requiring easy processing and a “carbomer” INCI name, such as clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, lotions and creams.

Key Benefits of Carbopol Ultrez 10 Polymer

Exceptional Processing: In today’s competitive marketplace, operational efficiency provides an important competitive advantage.  The unique structure of Carbopol Ultrez 10 polymer allows for rapid wetting and improved swelling time without the need for agitation.  The processing benefit is offered without compromising the thickening, suspension and texture properties provided by the polymer. 

Efficient Thickening, Suspension and Stabilization: Carbopol Ultrez 10 polymer provides high viscosity with short flow properties along with exceptional stabilization and suspension properties.  These properties are provided effectively across a broad pH range, providing formulation flexibility across many different applications.

Multipurpose Performance: Carbopol Ultrez 10 polymer exhibits excellent clarity in gel formulations and also provides exceptional thickening and stabilization performance in emulsion systems.

Desirable Sensory Performance: In addition to thickening and stabilizing emulsion systems, Carbopol® Ultrez 10 imparts a light, refreshing sensory experience to skin care formulations.  This feature makes Carbopol Ultrez 10 polymer ideally suited for applications such as serums, after-sun products and other formulations where a heavy, creamy feel is undesirable.  These properties are featured in our SensiMap™ Formulating Concept.
