Carbomer copolymer type C is a high molecular weight crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer synthesized via free radical polymerization. It functions as a rheology modifier and thickening agent in aqueous systems. The generic structure consists of acrylic acid units crosslinked with allyl ethers or esters, typically represented by the CAS 9007-20-9 for the base resin, though specific copolymer variants may vary.
