Carbomer 1342 (INCI Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer) is a hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer. It has long viscous flow property, imparts excellent thickening and suspending capability especially in hydroalcoholic &surfactant systems and forms sparkling clarity gels. This property makes the product uniquely suitable for sanitizing gels. hydroalcoholic gel, antibacterial gel hand, hand gel sanitizer, sanitizer gel with alcohol. In addition, it has improved compatibility in thickening and imparting yield value to ionic surfactants.   Features and Benefits - Outstanding thickening - Suitable for hydro-alcoholic system - Suitable for surfactant system and high electrolyte rate system - Excellent performance of stabilizing and suspending insoluble ingredients   Recommended Applications - hydroalcoholic gel - antibacterial gel hand - hand gel sanitizer - sanitizer gel with alcohol - Clear gels & Hydro-alcoholic gels - Shampoos and cleaning products - High electrolyte system (Aloe gels, etc.)   Formula Guidelines - Typical use 0.2 to 1.5 wt%. - In systems with high concentration of surfactants, neutralization is preferred to be carried out before addition of surfactants. Otherwise the high concentration of surfactants especially catatonics and secondary surfactants would prevent the uncoiling of the polymer, affecting the viscosity, yield value and clarity of the end product.       Please find more about Carbomer 1342 on TNJ Carbomer TDS.       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
