Carbopol polymers
If I am not allowed to make this post, please inform me and then delete this post. I am interested in trialling a carbopol polymer such as those from the Ultrez series. An amount of 20 grams would be fine with me. Willing to pay.
Bigger companies are taking a long time to reply to me for a sample.
Thank you -

Where are you based? You can get some carbopols from DIY suppliers who are selling small amounts. I know a couple.

ultrez 10 https://www.thesoapkitchen.co.uk/carbomer-carbul
940

i understand its expensive because of delivery but I am sharing the suppliers I bought from. There’s also this one but I have not ordered from them https://www.amertek.co.uk/product/carbomer-940-carbopol-940-polymer/ -
UK is the best place to be if you are after DIY sizes because everyone delivers (if you are ready to pay shipping costs).
Here are a couple of great suppliers: https://www.glamourcosmetics.it/it/
they have Pemulen TR-1 (lookup in rheology modifiers)
https://www.makingcosmetics.com/One of my favorite suppliers available on Amazon as well. But since it’s out of the EU you will have to pay around 30% extra to shipping for VAT and customs fee upon delivery (sometimes Amazon makes more sense although looks more expensive). They have 940, 980 and I believe what they call GelMaker Powder is Ultrez 20, but you need to write to them.It’s not ultrez series but it’s my favorite of all carbomers. It’s preneutralised.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/trulux.com.au/amp/pemulen-ez-4u/Same story with custom fees but it’s a beautiful material. It is an emulsifier and also creates beautiful gels (2-in-1). It can stabilise significant amount of oil with just 0.2%. It’s the best of all Lubrizol’s products I have ever tried. -
I thought NaturallyThinking’s carbomer was Carbopol 940 not Ultrez 30… If you look at the information sheet, it says both so it confuses me.

The SDS says it’s Ultrez 30, however it’s always makes sense to write to them and confirm.
