WEBINAR ON DEMAND: Advantages of Carbopol® Polymers in Oral Formulations


Carbopol® polymers offer excellent performance and versatility as pharmaceutical suspending agents for oral liquid formulations providing benefits to both formulators and patients. Their wide range of viscosity profiles and high efficiency at low inclusion levels coupled with their compatibility with a broad range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), flavors, and preservatives, make Carbopol® polymers an excellent choice for creating differentiated oral suspensions. In this video, the Lubrizol team together with the IMCD US team takes you through formulation aspects of Carbopol® polymers as well as the results of a case study on an Acetaminophen oral suspension formulation.
