INCI Name: Carbomer

NM-Carbomer 70 is a carbomer specifically designed for spray formulations. Owing to its unique chemical structure, it not only delivers the efficient thickening and suspending properties of traditional carbomers, but also offers self-wetting and electrolyte tolerance, it provides effective thickening across a broad pH range (4.0–12.0), And recommended to blend with a low dosage of hydrophobically modified thickener for high-salt, high ionic surfactant & high electrolyte systems.

NM-Carbomer 70 exhibits favorable reversible thixotropic and shear-thinning rheological behavior. At rest, it builds a three-dimensional network structure that prevents product layering and sedimentation, while under the shear of the pump head its viscosity drops rapidly, enabling fine, delicate atomization. After spraying out of the nozzle, the system viscosity recovers rapidly, reducing liquid sagging and optimizing film-forming performance on skin. Suitable for various facial and body spray applications.

 

Features and Benefits
Excellent thickening and suspending properties
Self-wetting, easy to use
Reversible thixotropy — shear-thinning behavior that balances spray suspension with fine atomization
Rapid recovery after spraying, minimizing run-off (drip) and improving film formation
Electrolyte tolerance, facilitating the formulation of aesthetically appealing products containing electrolytes
Recommended to blend with a low dosage of hydrophobically modified thickener for high-salt, high ionic surfactant & high electrolyte systems.
 
Applications
Transparent moisturizing facial (skin) sprays
Suspension sprays with botanical extracts
Spray products for various personal care applications
Facial masks
Hydro-alcoholic gels
Shampoo
Shower gels
 
Formula Guidelines
Recommended usage level: 0.1~1.0 wt.%
Sprinkle the polymer evenly onto the water surface; once wetted, stir thoroughly. Optimal thickening performance is achieved when the system is neutralized to a pH of 5.0~10. In hydro-alcoholic systems, the neutralizer should be selected with care.
Avoid high-speed shearing or vigorous agitation after neutralization to minimize viscosity loss.
