Carbopol 940 is a powdered, high molecular weight polymer that belongs to the family of acrylic acid polymers. It is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer that is primarily used as a thickening and suspending agent in a variety of industries. Carbopol 940 is soluble in water and forms a gel-like consistency when dispersed in liquid.
