4
Wide formulation adaptability
pH range: 4.5-8.5 Compatible with common anionic/non-ionic surfactants (SLES, CAPB, etc.) Electrolyte tolerance: ≤3% NaCl
Operation Guide (Innovative Cold Mixing Process)
1. Basic Formula (0.5% Addition)
Ingredients Content
Carbopol EDT 2020 0.5%
Deionized water to 100%
Neutralizer (NaOH) q.s. (adjust pH to 6.5-7.5)
2. Breakthrough Preparation Process
Fast Dispersion Stage:
Add EDT 2020 directly under 300-500rpm stirring
No premixing/slow sprinkle, hydration completed in 5 minutes
Smart Thickening Stage:
Add neutralizer (5% NaOH solution recommended)
Viscosity is fully established within 2-3 minutes
Post-processing optimization:
Add active ingredients (temperature <60℃)
No homogenization required, low-speed stirring is sufficient
FAQ
Q1: Can ETD 2020 completely replace traditional carbomer?
A: It can completely replace it in the pH range of 4.5-8.5, and its performance is better, but it is recommended to test and verify the strong acidic formula
Q2: Why can the dispersion time be greatly shortened?
A: The patented particle surface treatment technology is used to increase the hydration speed by 300%
Q3: How does the 0.5% addition amount perform in a surfactant-containing system?
A: It has good compatibility with SLES/CAPB. It is recommended to thicken first and then add surfactant. The viscosity retention rate is >90%
