NM-Carbomer 676
NM-Carbomer 676 polymer is a highly crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer with short flow characteristics and relatively high viscosity performance. It has good viscosity stability in the presence of chlorine bleach and has good efficacy in high pH systems. Often used in automatic dish care, hard surface cleaners, home care cleaning systems, gelled fuels and other common industrial systems.

Formula Guidelines
l Typical use 0.2 to 1.0 wt% for very cost-effective formulations
l To disperse NM-Carbomer676 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sifted into the dispersion medium while the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid possible formation of lumps
l Higher shear rates help disperse the polymer rapidly; however, extremely high shear rate mixers should be carefully employed to avoid viscosity loss
l For easier processing of a 2~5 wt% dispersion, 400 ppm of an inorganic acid can be added to the water prior to dispersion of the polymer
Under high shear agitation, dispersions of NM-Carbomer 676 polymer can stabilize entrapped air. Antifoam, at use levels of 0.02~0.05 wt%, can be added to the water prior to NM-Carbomer 676 polymer in order to minimize or eliminate foaming .
