Carbomer 940 in Kenya
Product Overview
Carbomer 940 is a premium-grade, high-molecular-weight cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer widely used as a thickening agent, gelling agent, suspending agent, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial sectors. It is supplied as a fine white powder that forms crystal-clear, high-viscosity gels when dispersed in water and neutralized with an appropriate alkaline agent such as Triethanolamine (TEA) or Sodium Hydroxide.
Carbomer 940 is one of the most widely used Carbomer grades due to its excellent thickening efficiency, exceptional clarity, stable rheological properties, and compatibility with a broad range of cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients. It enables manufacturers to formulate smooth, stable, and visually appealing products with excellent texture and consistency.
It is extensively used in the manufacture of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, facial creams, lotions, gels, shampoos, conditioners, serums, facial cleansers, body wash, toothpaste, topical pharmaceutical gels, and numerous personal care products.
At Dalit Solutions, we supply premium-quality Carbomer 940 suitable for cosmetic manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, personal care product manufacturers, laboratories, and industrial formulators requiring reliable quality and consistent supply across Kenya.
