Carbomer EZ-3
NM –Carbomer EZ-3

NM-Carbomer EZ-3 is a hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer, providing high viscosity with smooth flow properties. It is an efficient, self-wetting rheology modifier designed to impart thickening, emulsion stabilization and suspension properties to a wide range of home care products. Carbopol EZ-3 polymer is an easy to use, all-purpose product for use in applications where high efficiency, moderate electrolyte tolerance, good emulsion stabilization, and ease of handling are key requirements.

Formula Guidelines

l Typical use 0.2 to 2.0 wt%

l Sprinkle the polymer onto the surface of the water without any special equipment or handling. The powder will self-wet and drop below the surface in minutes. When there is no visible white powder on the water surface, begin agitation.

l Extremely high shear (>5,000 rpm) mixers or homogenizers should be cautiously used because high shear impact and destroy the polymer gel structure resulting in permanent viscosity loss.

l Upon neutralization, a grainy appearance may be noted initially. Using gentle mixing will yield a smooth gel.
