The applications of Carbomer (PAA)
Carbomer (PAA) has been existence more than 50 years, and its application in the market has been mature. Carbomer (PAA) has developed many different viscosities and specifications to meet market requirements, mainly as a thickener, emulsifier, or suspending agent.
In personal care:
Carbomer (PAA) has been commonly used in shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, gel, and lotion. In addition, Carbomer can also be used as an emulsifier in external oil-in-water emulsion formulations.
In the pharmaceutical industry:
Carbomer (PAA) has great potential in the pharmaceutical industry due to its high bioadhesion, bioavailability, sustained-release properties, and permanent suspension. Carbomer (PAA) can be used as a release regulator to control the release of drugs, or it can be used as a bioadhesive to make it adhere to the skin and mucous membranes, and produce a wide range of viscosity and flow characteristics in the transdermal gel; it can also be used as a permanent suspension of insoluble ingredients in oral suspensions and topical medications. Carbomer (PAA) is very useful as the main component of the drug delivery gel system and is suitable for oral, ophthalmology, intestinal, nasal, vaginal, and rectal drugs. Common drug forms are lozenges, transdermal patches, oral suspensions Agents, and creams.
In paints and dyestuffs:
Commonly used in paints, nail polishes, nail transfer liquids, or hair dyes as thickeners or thickeners to control fluidity or adhesion.
