BIOPOL® polymers have been used for over 50 years for various applications with the highest quality carbomers on the market. Their application in products as rheology modifiers, tablet binders, suspension stabilizers, thickeners, extended release polymers, mucoadhesive aids, bioavailability enhancers have increased their demand as they are versatile and their ease of use has created its demand in Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, Personal Care & Allied Industrial applications.

Advantages of using BIOPOL®

  • Thickening efficiency - high viscosities at low concentrations.
  • Uniform performance - reproducibility unattainable with natural gums.
  • History - over 50 years of successful use.
  • Temperature stability – only slight effect on mucilage properties after extended heating/cooling.
  • Residual Solvent – Benzene free products with minimal residual solvent (Methylene Chloride only).
  • Unaffected by aging - excellent shelf life.
  • Microbial resistance - resists bacterial attack and does not support mold growth.
  • Complete automation in production leading to consistency in quality & product performance.
  • Clarity – highest level of clarity achieved at lower concentration to produce appealing gels & clear rinse off products.
  • Versatility - although primarily used in aqueous systems with neutralization, it can also be used in solvent systems, with or without neutralization.
