Swapnroop offers Carbomer 980LP as a pharmaceutical excipient for formulation applications requiring high viscosity, efficient thickening, gel formation, rheology modification and suspension stabilization.
Carbomer 980 is a high-molecular-weight, crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer classified as Carbomer Homopolymer Type C. The verified pharmaceutical reference grade Carbopol 980 NF Polymer complies with applicable USP/NF, Ph. Eur., IP and ChP requirements.
Carbomer 980-type polymers are high-viscosity carbomers designed to provide efficient rheology modification at relatively low concentrations. The published Carbopol 980 NF specification reports 40,000–60,000 cP viscosity for a 0.5% w/w neutralized mucilage at 25°C and 13,000–30,000 cP for a 0.2% w/w mucilage under the specified test conditions.
Lubrizol categorizes Carbopol 980 NF as a Carbomer Homopolymer Type C and identifies it as a very-high-viscosity grade with high suspending ability and high mucilage clarity. It is used in pharmaceutical topical formulations and other suitable formulation systems.
