Carbopol (also known as Carbomer) is a widely used thickening agent in personal care gels, creams, and lotions. Achieving an agglomerate-free dispersion is essential for creating a clear, bright gel after neutralization—but conventional mixing methods often struggle with hydration and aeration.

Silverson High Shear Mixers are designed to overcome these challenges by rapidly dispersing and hydrating Carbopol powders without forming agglomerates. With our precision-engineered powder/liquid mixers, you simply feed the powder into the hopper and let the machine do the rest. After a short recirculation period, the result is a uniform, fully hydrated solution—time after time.

Carbopol Mixing Challenges:
❌ Difficult to hydrate
❌ Agglomerates form easily
❌ Excess aeration and long processing times

The Silverson Solution – High Shear Mixers provide:
✅ Rapid powder incorporation and hydration
✅ Agglomerate-free dispersion with minimized aeration
✅ Clear, bright gels in a fraction of the time
✅ Scalable solutions from lab to full production

💡 Pro Tip: The Silverson Ultramix is ideal for higher viscosity Carbopol gels and small to medium batch sizes.
