    Carbopol in Cosmetics Manufacture

    What is Carbopol

    If you have a pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, surely, you have encountered rheology modifiers such as Carbopol. Carbopol is a white, fluffy and dusty powder usually needed in making gels in personal care and cosmetic products.

    As its purpose is to be a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier for suspensions, it must require industrially capable manufacturing equipment. These are mixing equipment which can handle high viscosities of up to 30,000 to 60,000 cP of suspensions.

    At a low percentage in the formulation, the gel formed has a slippery feature like in antibacterial gels. When it is required at high concentrations, it forms a high viscosity gel like a pseudoplastic. Only at high shear force of a pump or mixer can its viscosity be reduced.

    Fortunately, Ginhong high shear mixers can efficiently solubilize, homogenize, disintegrate and emulsify preparations with Carbopol ingredients.

    Why Ginhong Carbopol Mixer

    Particulate powders, like Carbopol polymers and other rheology modifiers, can form clumps when not properly incorporated and mixed with the solvent. With our expertise in manufacturing high shear mixers for Carbopol gel formulations, you get the high quality mixture you need to promote your skin care product.

    Ease of Powder Incorporation with Consistent Mixing Quality
    Our industrial-grade Carbopol mixer is designed for rapid incorporation of powders, fast mixing time and efficient dispersion of ingredients. You can choose between our high shear mixer, multi-shaft mixer and vacuum emulsifier mixer to better suit your ingredient requirements and special needs in mixing parameters.

    Tailored High Quality Mixer to Meet Your Gelling Agent Formulation Requirements
    At Ginhong, we can customize your mixing equipment to meet your requirements and budget. Our mixers are tailor-made for each client whether it’s needed for a pharmaceutical, cosmetic or food industry. You can request for automated PLC controls, or an additional powder feeder depending on what you need. This ensures a more suitable system for efficient mixing, variable throughput, seamless operation and quick changeover.

    Reduced Production Costs, Increased ROI
    With high energy mixing and rapid powder incorporation, you can assure that the mixtures result in agglomerate-free gels. Our mixers can fully hydrate powders.

    Ginhong Vacuum Homogenizer Mixer

    Our Vacuum Homogenizer Mixer is a complete, vacuum-filled system which homogenizes, emulsifies and disintegrates materials, while operating in a clean-in-place environment. It can be incorporated with two separate tanks which can be used for the oil phase and water phase mixing. To facilitate sanitary mixing, all contact parts are made from stainless steel.

    In addition, processing in vacuum helps prevent bacterial growth in the mixing tank and eases the transport of powders along the pipes.

      Carbopol Gel Preparation

      How to Mix Gelling Solutions: Method of Preparation of Carbopol Gel

      When using a traditional agitator, mixing Carbopol in a water solution may be more difficult. For one, the powders may only float in water without proper agitation and good vortex.

      Oftentimes, a high pH ingredient must be added to the solution so that the final viscosity will not be too low. Carbomers are not really soluble in water, but they do form into hydrated spheres, giving your product its rheological properties. In terms of gum formulations, Carbopol may form agglomerates as well, when not properly mixed.

      A powerful industry mixer is used in diluting thickened solutions in large scale production to achieve homogenized mixtures.

      Carbopol Gel Formulation

      Carbopol® is a carbomer that is a registered trademark under the Lubrizol Corporation. There are different Carbopol polymers available under the company which are either synthesized in a cosolvent mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate or ethyl acetate.

      As such, depending on what type of Carbopol you use, it may have different resulting viscosities in your formulation.

      The Carbomers Mixing Process

      Here’s a sample illustration of how Carbopol is mixed in skincare/pharmaceutical manufacturing:

      • Carbomers for skin care manufacturing, such as Carbopol, are usually added to the oil phase for ease of emulsification.
      • When adding Carbopol in the water phase, adding acid or electrolytes to the water phase before doing so can improve the dispersion of the product.
      • Triisopropanolamine can be added to neutralize the Carbopol when gelling or thickening the product at 90% ethanol.
      • Slow shearing is done after neutralization to prevent the product from reaching very high viscosities and poor flowability.

      Mixing Issues

      • Carbopol may cause dusting when incorporated in water.
      • Some powders may be difficult to add in accurate amounts due to inferior flow properties.
      • It may form fish-eyes or agglomerates due to the lack of mixing power.
      • Clear gels may cloud due to entrained air, which is hard to remove and can cause issues during filling.
      • Longer exposure to high shear mixing may actually destroy polymers, which can decrease the viscosity of the product.
      • Long processing times are needed to fully disperse and hydrate the products.
      • Different types of Carbopol perform differently when mixed; some may thicken quickly while others may not.
      • The solution may foam due to aeration, requiring additional additives for dispersing the products.

      The Ginhong Solution

      Ginhong industry-grade mixers accomplish the production of Carbopol formulations through the following simplified methods using a top entry batch mixer:

      • A base fluid is poured in the mixing vessel.
      • Upon starting the mixer, a rotor-stator homogenizer, driven by a Siemens ro ABB motor, creates a high energy vortex.
      • Carbopol powders are incorporated in the mixer and are immediately drawn through the workhead.
      • At the workhead, ingredients are driven into narrow slots, crushed and thrown back into the mixture through a powerful jetting action.
      • Any globules are constantly broken down upon passing through the tiny slots and undergoing high shear mixing.
      • The process of intensive blending continues until all the ingredients are fully hydrated, homogenized, emulsified and disintegrated.

      For the Neutralization Process:

      Ginhong mixers can also be used for neutralizing Carbopols, depending on the viscosity of the product. For processing very viscous products, a low shear agitator can be used.
