Carbomer 940 / Carbopol-Type Powder, Cosmetic Grade - CAS and Specification Verification Required
Buyer-facing sourcing candidate for cosmetic-grade Carbomer 940 / Carbopol-type white powder offered in bulk packing. The listing states CAS 9007-20-9, cosmetic grade, 99% specification, white powder appearance, and 25 kg carton packing, but the extracted chemical identifiers and EINECS references are inconsistent and should be verified before RFQ progression. Suitable for buyers seeking a China-origin carbomer thickener/rheology modifier candidate subject to COA, SDS, residual solvent/monomer, viscosity, pH, heavy metals, and export documentation checks.

Before matching
Documents to check
CAS number, grade, assay, and impurity profile
SDS, COA, TDS, HS code, and transport classification
Destination-market import documents before supplier matching
Package and route
Packing notes
Source listing states 25 kg carton packing; confirm inner liner, moisture barrier, palletization, and export carton strength
Request current photos of original packaging, label, batch number, net/gross weight, and storage statement as shown on commercial documents
Confirm availability of sample quantity and whether sample COA matches bulk production lot
Ask whether neutral branding, buyer labeling, or private-label packing is available only where compliant with destination rules
Confirm shelf life, retest period, and unopened-package storage conditions as stated on SDS/COA
Applications and sourcing options
Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.
Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.
Use context
Common applications
Cosmetic and personal care formulation raw material sourcing
Rheology modifier candidate qualification
Thickener grade comparison against existing Carbomer 940 or 980 supply
Bulk ingredient procurement for gels, creams, lotions, and clear formulations
Supplier diversification for cosmetic polymer ingredients
How we compare
Sourcing options
Request sample with matching COA before bulk RFQ
Compare Carbomer 940 versus Carbomer 980 grade specifications before selection
Ask for factory-direct supply confirmation versus trading-company sourcing
Require third-party inspection for first shipment
Use specification-based RFQ including viscosity method, impurity limits, packaging, and document list
Request Incoterms-based quotation for sample, pallet, and bulk quantities
Human review
Compliance notes
Do not rely on the listing identifiers alone: CAS, EINECS, molecular formula, and product grade claims appear inconsistent and require supplier confirmation
Request SDS in GHS format, COA for the offered batch, TDS/spec sheet, allergen/BSE-TSE/animal-origin statement if needed, cosmetic raw material declaration, and country-of-origin document
Confirm DG classification for sea/air shipment with the supplier's SDS and freight forwarder; do not assume non-DG status without documentation
For cosmetic use, buyer should confirm compliance needs for the destination market, such as residual benzene/solvent statements, heavy metals, microbial limits, and restricted substance declarations
Supplier marketplace status and audit badges are not substitutes for quality, regulatory, or export clearance review
Any import, cosmetic registration, or customs classification decision should be verified by the buyer's compliance team or authorized broker

Questions to confirm
Can you confirm the exact product: Carbomer 940, Carbomer 980, or another carbomer grade?
Please provide CAS number, EINECS/EC reference if applicable, and explain any discrepancy between CAS 9007-20-9 and other common carbomer identifiers.
Can you provide the latest COA for a representative production lot with viscosity, pH, loss on drying, residual monomer, residual solvent, heavy metals, and microbial data?
What test method is used for viscosity, and at what concentration, neutralization condition, temperature, spindle, and rpm?
Is the material benzene-free or manufactured without benzene? Please provide a formal statement if available.
What cosmetic standards, internal specifications, or customer specifications can this grade meet?
Is the product manufactured by your company or traded from another factory? Can factory name and address be disclosed under NDA or supplier qualification?
What is the MOQ for trial order and full container order?
