SF-1,Carbomer 940 Liquid(CAS 9007-20-9)
Cosmetic Grade SF-1 Liquid Carbomer 940 is an upgraded liquid ready-to-use cross-linked polyacrylic acid rheology modifier, optimized and upgraded on the basis of traditional powdered Carbomer 940.
It perfectly solves the pain points of traditional powder carbomer such as easy agglomeration, slow dissolution, long swelling time and complicated production process.
The product is a uniform liquid dispersion with stable performance, which can be quickly dispersed in water phase without pre-swelling treatment. After neutralization with mild alkaline agents such as triethanolamine, it can rapidly thicken and form high-transparency delicate gel, with excellent short-flow thickening performance, strong vertical stability and no dripping flow.
SF-1 Liquid Carbomer 940 has outstanding suspension and stabilization effects, which can stably suspend functional fine particles in the formula, improve the uniformity and appearance grade of finished products, and effectively extend the shelf stability of cosmetics. With the advantages of convenient use, high production efficiency, stable efficacy and wide compatibility, it is an upgraded core thickening and stabilizing raw material for modern cosmetic water-phase formula systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
• Q1: What is the MOQ of SF-1 Liquid Carbomer 940?
A1: The standard MOQ is 25KG, and sample orders are supported for formula testing and efficacy trial production.
• Q2: What certification documents can be provided?
A2: Complete COA, MSDS, heavy metal and microbial test reports and full set of customs clearance documents are available to support export declaration and cosmetic product filing.
• Q3: What is the recommended dosage in cosmetic formulas?
A3: Conventional gel thickening: 1.0%–3.0%; Water-body stabilization and viscosity adjustment: 0.5%–1.5%; Suspension particle stabilization: 2.0%–4.0%, adjustable according to product viscosity and molding requirements.
• Q4: What is the difference between liquid SF-1 and traditional powder Carbomer 940?
A4: SF-1 is liquid ready-to-use, no pre-swelling and no agglomeration, simpler production process and higher efficiency; traditional powder carbomer is easy to clump and requires long-time swelling, with complicated operation. Both have the same thickening and stabilizing efficacy, SF-1 is more suitable for modern high-efficiency mass production.
• Q5: What neutralizer is suitable for SF-1?
A5: It is perfectly matched with triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Triethanolamine is recommended for skincare formulas, which is milder and can form higher-transparency gel texture.
• Q6: What formulas is SF-1 suitable for?
A6: Mainly applicable to all water-phase systems such as transparent gel, toner, essence, suspension sunscreen and mild skincare products, not suitable for pure oil-phase formulas.
• Q7: Do you support stable large-batch supply all year round?
A7: Standardized liquid dispersion production lines ensure stable product uniformity and sufficient inventory, supporting long-term cooperative orders and customized formula matching services.
