Carbomer 940 (Polyacrylic Acid, PAA, CAS 9003-01-4) is a high-molecular-weight crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer widely used as a thickener, suspending agent, stabilizer, and rheology modifier. Renowned for its exceptional thickening efficiency and excellent clarity, Carbomer 940 is one of the most commonly used ingredients in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care formulations.
When neutralized, Carbomer 940 rapidly forms clear, smooth gels with excellent viscosity and suspension properties. It is ideal for formulating creams, lotions, hand sanitizers, facial cleansers, hair styling gels, ophthalmic products, and topical pharmaceutical preparations. Its outstanding stability over a broad pH range and compatibility with various active ingredients make it a preferred choice for high-performance formulations.
Beyond personal care products, Polyacrylic Acid is also applied in industrial formulations, water treatment, coatings, adhesives, and specialty chemicals where effective viscosity control and dispersion performance are required.
