Swapnroop offers Carbomer 980P as a pharmaceutical excipient for formulation applications requiring high viscosity, efficient thickening, gel formation, rheology modification and suspension stabilization.
Carbomer 980P is a high-molecular-weight, crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer used as a functional pharmaceutical excipient. The corresponding pharmaceutical Carbopol 980 NF grade is classified as Carbomer Homopolymer Type C and is designed for applications where very high viscosity and effective rheology modification are required.
The pharmaceutical Carbopol 980 NF specification identifies the material as a white, fluffy powder and states compliance with applicable USP/NF, Ph. Eur., IP and ChP requirements.
Carbomer 980P provides high viscosity at relatively low concentrations and is particularly useful where formulation developers require efficient thickening and rheological control.
For the pharmaceutical 980 NF reference grade, the specified viscosity is 13,000–30,000 cP at 0.2% w/w and 40,000–60,000 cP at 0.5% w/w, measured under the specified neutralized conditions at 25°C.
Carbomer polymers are widely used as pharmaceutical excipients because they can provide thickening, gel formation, suspension stabilization and controlled rheological properties.

Carbomer 980P is a crosslinked acrylic-acid polymer. After dispersion and suitable neutralization, the polymer develops high viscosity and can form clear or translucent gel systems depending on formulation conditions.
Carbomer 980P can be used in suitable pharmaceutical formulation systems for:
Carbopol 980 NF is identified for topical pharmaceutical applications including clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, lotions and creams.
Carbomer 980P offers several formulation benefits:
The pharmaceutical Carbopol comparison identifies 980 NF as a very-high-relative-viscosity grade with high suspending ability and high mucilage clarity.
Pharmaceutical-grade Carbomer 980P should be evaluated according to the applicable product specification and relevant pharmacopeial requirements.
Typical quality-control parameters include:
For the published Carbopol 980 NF specification, carboxylic acid content is 56.0–68.0%, loss on drying is NMT 2.0%, and sulphated ash is NMT 2.5%.
Swapnroop provides pharmaceutical excipients for formulation development and manufacturing requirements. Carbomer 980P can be positioned for customers requiring a high-viscosity carbomer for pharmaceutical gels, topical formulations, suspension systems and other suitable formulation applications.
Product specifications, grade requirements, packaging and documentation can be aligned with applicable customer and regulatory requirements.
Carbomer 980P should be stored in tightly closed packaging and protected from moisture and contamination.
Storage and handling should follow the applicable product specification and Safety Data Sheet. As a fine polymeric powder, appropriate precautions should be followed during dispensing and formulation.
Depending on customer and regulatory requirements, documentation may include:
Carbomer 980P is a high-viscosity pharmaceutical excipient suitable for formulations requiring efficient thickening, gel formation, rheology modification and suspension stabilization.
Swapnroop supports pharmaceutical customers with specification-focused excipient supply and technical documentation for formulation development and manufacturing requirements.
