What kind of copolymer is carbomer 1342 / nm?
Carbomer 1342/NM-Carbomer1342 is a hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer. It has long viscous flow property, imparts excellent thickening and suspending capability especially in surfactant systems and forms sparkling clarity gels.
Why is carbomer 1342 used in surfactant systems?
It has long viscous flow property, imparts excellent thickening and suspending capability especially in surfactant systems and forms sparkling clarity gels. This property makes the product uniquely suitable for aqueous solutions or dispersions containing dissolved salts.
