Formula Guidelines
Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.5%.
To disperse NM-Carbomer941 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sifted to dispersion medium while the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid formation of lumps; Extremely high shear rate mixer should be carefully employed to avoid viscosity loss.
The ideal viscosity can be achieved at ph ranges of 5.0~10.0; To achieve maximum thickening, NM-Carbomer941 should be neutralized; in a hydoalcoholic system, a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on the amount of alcohol to be gelled.
After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening ability.
