	Quadro Engineering // Quadro Ytron - APYC01 Lump Free Dispersion of Carbomers and Polymers
		Carbomers and Polymers have been in use as rheology modifiers or structure building agents in a wide variety of applications including Personal Care, Pharmaceutical, Home Care and Industrial products because of their exceptional thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties.
		They are created when a hydrophilic powder comes in contact with water, the particles on the surfaces hydrate and crosslink to form a tough outer layer and the particles on the interior cannot be hydrated because they are shielded from the water.
		The ZC Inline Powder Disperser is designed specifically to disperse extremely difficult-to-wet powders such as Polymers and Carbomers, into a liquid stream in a single pass.

	Proper selection of rheology modifiers - Technology Trendz - Express Pharma Pulse
		Description: Carbomers are anionic carboxyvinyl polymers made by chemically crosslinking poly(acrylic acid).
		Rheology: Carbomers are typically neutralized with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or triethanolamine (TEA) to give extremely high viscosity, clear, colorless gels at 0.5 per cent (depending on the grade) or smooth-pouring viscous solutions at lower levels.
		Compatibilities: Electrolytes depress the viscosity of neutralized solutions to carbomers, usually in proportion to the valence of the cation.

	Liposic
		This medicine contains carbomer, which is a synthetic polymer that forms a viscous eye gel.
		It produces a transparent, lubricating and moistening film on the surface of the eye and is used as artificial tears.
		Carbomers cling to the surface of the eye and are therefore not washed out of the eye as quickly as other lubricating eye drops.

	Carbomer
		The function of carbomers is to act as an emulsion stabilizer and to adjust viscosity and can therefore also be classed as a thickening agent.
		Carbomer is a synthetic compound comprised of a cross-linked polymer of acrylic acid with a high molecular weight.
		Over and above the active anti-wrinkle and anti-aging Hexapeptide used in Crème de Vie, carbomer is also used in the formulation of this treatment cream.

		Carbomers are carboxyvinylic derivatives that are widely used in the manufacture of hydrogel dosage forms.
		Because of their anionic nature and large number of acid groups, they tend to interact with cationic substances, and with other hydrophilic polymers containing alcohol groups.

		Carbomers are hydrophilic macromolecules able to hold more than 1000 times their volume in water.
		Due to their structure, they strongly bind to the glycoproteins of the tear film mucin-like layer resulting in an increased contact time with the cornea.
