Gel stock solution product description
product name:
Gel stock solution (carbomer/carbopol stock solution)
INCI name :
Acrylic acid (ester) copolymer( ACRYLATES COPOLYMER )
Overview:
Gel stock solution is an excellent gel stabilizer. It is an acrylic (ester) copolymer with slightly anionic cross-linking and alkali-swelling emulsion. It plays the role of suspension, thickening and emulsification in
personal care products. The gel stock solution is a water-soluble emulsion with low viscosity and convenient use.
After ionizing the carboxyl group in the formula, due to the mutual repulsion of negative charges, the molecular
chain is spread and stretched, and it is in a greatly expanded state, and it is sticky. It can produce high-efficiency
thickening effect at very low dosage. The gel stock solution can make the liquid system have a special yield value
and rheology. Only a very low concentration can make some insoluble additives (particles, oil droplets, etc.) reach
permanent suspension. Due to its strong suspending ability, it is widely used to stabilize traditional oil / water
emulsions and creams, oil droplet particles and water-insoluble matter in suspension solutions; it can provide a
beautiful appearance for personal washing formulas, and is transparent in formula It has excellent transparency in
pearlescent products to enhance its bright pearlescent effect.

How to use:
1. Use method in the formulation of emulsification system:
Dissolve the gel stock solution in water at room temperature, add other components in the aqueous phase, and heat to 70-80 ° C. The oil phase was mixed in another vessel and heated to the desired temperature. The oil phase is added to the water phase and homogeneously emulsified. Add a neutralizing agent to adjust the pH to neutral and cool to 40 ° C while stirring. Add a preservative.
2. Use method in shampoo, shower gel and other cleaning products:
Add the gel stock solution to water, add surfactant such as AES and stir until completely dissolved, add organic or inorganic alkali to adjust the solution pH to 6.5-7.0, add other components in the formula, stir until uniform, adjust pH and viscosity to Need range.
