Buy Carbomer Price is a synthetic polymer that swells rapidly in water to form clear, stable gels at very low concentrations (typically 0.2-1.0%). It is the preferred rheology modifier for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations requiring elegant texture, suspending ability, and thermal stability. Moon Bright Resources supplies premium Carbomer in multiple grades to suit different formulation needs — from high-viscosity gels (Carbomer 940) to shear-thinning systems (Carbomer 980) and electrolyte-resistant grades (Carbomer 2020). Our Carbomer meets USP/NF and cosmetic grade standards, making it ideal for hair gels, creams, lotions, oral suspensions, and topical pharmaceutical preparations. Where to buy carbomer powder online

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How is Carbomer properly dispersed and neutralized?
A1: Carbomer must be properly dispersed before neutralization to achieve maximum viscosity. First, slowly sift Carbomer powder into vigorously stirring water (never add water to powder). Allow 15-30 minutes for complete wetting and hydration. Then add neutralizing agent (triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide) to raise pH to 6.5-7.5. Viscosity will increase immediately. Avoid high-shear mixing until after neutralization to prevent polymer degradation.
Q2: What is the difference between Carbomer 940, 980, and 2020?
A2: Carbomer 940 produces the highest viscosity and clearest gels — ideal for hair gels and clear formulations. Carbomer 980 offers similar viscosity but with better shear-thinning properties for easy spreading and pumpable gels. Carbomer 2020 is specially designed for systems containing electrolytes (salts, surfactants) and maintains viscosity better than standard grades — ideal for body washes and high-surfactant formulations. Select based on your formulation’s ionic strength and desired texture. carbomer 940 price per ton
Q3: Do you offer OEM / private label packaging?
A3: Yes, Moon Bright Resources provides full OEM services for Carbomer. We can repackage under your brand name with custom-printed bags (1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg, 25 kg), custom labeling, and multi-language safety instructions. We can also blend Carbomer with other powders per your specification. Minimum OEM order quantity is 500 kg. Custom mesh sizes and special grade formulations available upon request. gel base carbomer 940 supplier
Q4: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A4: MOQ is 1 kg for sample orders, 25 kg for small commercial orders (one 25 kg drum), and 500 kg for wholesale pricing. Full pallet orders (500 kg / 20 drums) qualify for discounted rates. For OEM private label orders, MOQ is 500 kg. Container load quantities (10-15 metric tons) receive maximum discount. carbomer 940 MOQ supplier
Q5: How should Carbomer be stored to maintain quality?
A5: Carbomer is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air). Store in original tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry area below 30°C. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Once opened, reseal immediately after use. Properly stored, shelf life is 24 months from date of manufacture. Do not store near strong acids, alkalis, or oxidizing agents. Always use clean, dry scoops to prevent contamination.
