Carbopol® 934 NF Polymer
Suitable applications: Topical
Residual solvent: Benzene
Recommended non-benzene substitute products: Carbopol® 5984 EP and Ultrez 10 NF polymers
Carbopol® 934 NF polymer can be used to produce thick formulations such as medium to high viscosity gels, emulsions and suspensions. The polymer has short, buttery rheology similar to mayonnaise.
Lubrizol’s benzene polymerized polymers do not meet the European Pharmacopeial “Carbomers” monograph because the residual benzene levels exceed the 2 ppm limit stipulated in the monograph.
