Models and Characteristics of Carbopol Models and Characteristics of Carbopol

Table of Content [Hide]

    Carbopol is a white loose powder; it has a characteristic slightly odor; it has hygroscopicity and is a medicinal excipient. Carbopol is a high molecular polymer of acrylic acid bonded allyl sucrose or pentaerythritol allyl ether. Calculated according to the dry product, the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) should be 56.0%-68.0%.


    Carbopol discolors with resorcinol and is incompatible with phenol, cationic polymers, strong acids and high concentrations of electrolytes.


    Commonly used Carbopol has the following 11 different models:


    1. Carbopol 940;


    2. Carbopol 941;


    3. Carbopol 934;


    4. Carbopol 1342;


    5. Carbopol 980;


    6. Carbopol ETD 2020;


    7. Carbopol AQUA SF-1;


    8. carbopol Ultrez 21;


    9. Carbopol Ultrez 20;


    10. Pemulen TR-1;


    11. Pemulen TR-2;


    Different models are mainly different in viscosity. The following are the characteristics of commonly used models:


    Carbopol940: short rheology, high viscosity, high clarity, low ion resistance and shear resistance, suitable for gels and creams.


    Carbopol941: long rheology, low viscosity, high clarity, medium ion resistance and shear resistance, suitable for gels and emulsions.


    Carbopol934: cross-linked polyacrylic resin, topical drug delivery system, stable at high viscosity, used in thick gels, emulsions, and suspensions.
