Carbopol® 981 NF Polymer

Suitable applications: Topical
Residual solvent: Cosolvent mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane

Carbopol^® 981 NF polymer can be used to develop clear, low viscosity lotions and gels with good clarity. Additionally, it can provide emulsion stabilization of lotions and is effective in moderately ionic systems. The polymer has long flow rheology similar to honey.

Carbopol^® 981 NF polymer is more efficient than Carbopol^® 934 NF, Carbopol^® 5984 EP, Carbopol^® 940 NF and Carbopol^® 980 NF polymers at concentrations below 0.1 wt.% in aqueous systems and below 1.5 wt.% in solvent systems.
