Polygel CA is a substance synthesis laboratory chemical. A carbomer 940 product that is used to thicken hydro-alcoholic cosmetic products such as hand sanitizers, creams, lotions, and so on. The typical concentration is 0.5 wt percent. The product is first hydrated in the water phase with high shear for 45-60 minutes, then the alcohol is added and the pH is adjusted to 6.0-6.5 to thicken and increase clarity. When done correctly, this will result in a clear, transparent product. 3V Sigma manufactures Polygel CA.
