Carbopol 940 Polymer INCI Name: Carbomer carbopol-modelc Carbopol 940 polymer is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer. It is an extremely efficient rheology modifier capable of providing high viscosity and forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and creams. Carbopol 940 polymer short flow (non-drip) properties are ideal for applications such as clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, creams. Features and Benefits of Carbopol 940 Polymer Short flow properties High viscosity High suspending ability High clarity Recommended Applications Hair styling gels Hydroalcoholic gels Moisturizing gels Bath gels Hand, body and face lotions Creams Note: Item is Non-Returnable, Consists of Raw Materials Polyvinyl carboxy polymer crosslinked with ethers of pentaerythritol. Used as a viscosity enhancer or gelling agent primarily in systems where clarity or viscosity is required. White powder. Soluble in water. pH value: 2.7 - 3.3 (0.5% solution at 25ºC, 77ºF). Viscosity: 45,000-70,000 cps (0.5% Solution). CAS# 9003-01-4, 9007-16-3, 9007-17-4, 9062-04-8, 76050-42-5. INCI Name: Carbomer. Properties: ph-sensitive gelling thickener useful for formulating sparkling and clear gels as well as stabilizing emulsions. Use: typical use level 0.1 - 0.5% depending on the type of formulation desired viscosity. Carbomer must be thoroughly mixed and hydrated. Increasing the pH to >6. 0, gives a gel structure. Neutralization can be carried out with inorganic bases such as NaOH or KOH or triethanolamine (TEA). Applications: Gel-creams, hair gels, and other gels, lotions, creams.

I use Carbopol to make Hair Gel
It does not come in a box, just a large plastic bag. It's fine, I use it to make hair gel and cut down on the plastic jars and/or bottles that hair gel comes in. You can make your own: water and Carbopol 940. The more Carbopol the thicker it is. Add a few drops of Triethanolamine to make it slippery. Use a hand blender. NEVER use the blender, or anything else used to make the hair gel, with food. Learned this from a chemist teaching a class on Youtube. Super nice guy, lives in California, called him and spoke to him on phone for about 45 minutes.

The package is poor

So much more stable than methocel and pretty much does the same thing
So much more stable than methocel and pretty much does the same thing. I wish it came with directions, but I'm smart and i have a background in chemistry so IFigured it out

would be nice to have some information with the item
It works well, but i had to hunt and peck for the company site as well as some semblance of information as to how to use it. As a first time user, it would have been more helpful to have some sort of insert or cheap slip of paper with msds etc. It works well, better than expected.
