The application of Polyacrylic Acid in the pharmaceutical field is mainly used as a substrate material for local drug delivery systems. In this application, the gelation of Polyacrylic Acid is expected to improve the bioavailability of the drug by increasing the residence time of the drug on the skin or mucosal surface. Carbomer acts as a thickening agent and pharmaceutical agent in formulations to reduce patient discomfort by controlling the rate at which the active pharmaceutical ingredient AP is released from the formulations. Oral suspensions and ophthalmic preparations also have important application value. Its mechanism of action is mainly reflected in two aspects: in the suspension, carbomer acts as a suspension agent, so that the active component will not precipitate, so as to maintain a uniform dose; In eye drops, carbomer’s viscoelasticity helps reduce fluid loss during blinking, ultimately extending the effective life of the drug.

The personal care industry is another major application market for Polyacrylic Acid. In skin care products, carbomer is commonly used in serums, masks and sunscreens. The crystal clear gel-like structure it usually forms can enhance the touch of the product while keeping the active ingredient in the most stable state. In shampoos and body washes, carbomer acts as a rheological modifier to make formulations easier to pump and roll out.

The industrial demand for Polyacrylic Acid is mainly concentrated in the field of specialty coatings and adhesives. In water-based coatings, Polyacrylic Acid can prevent pigment settling and improve brushing performance by adjusting the rheology of the system. In pressure-sensitive adhesive applications, it can be used as a tackifier to enhance the initial adhesive strength and give the colloid weather resistance under the right conditions. Due to its suspension characteristics, Polyacrylic Acid can avoid dye aggregation, thereby improving the uniformity of dyeing, and is used to prepare high solid content color paste in textile printing and dyeing. It can also be used in the electronics industry to prepare conductive gels, which are used as heat dissipation materials or packaging materials for electronic components.

The application of Polyacrylic Acid in the field of agriculture is gradually emerging. For example, in pesticide controlled release formulations, carbomer gels can coat the active ingredient and slow its breakdown in the environment, thus extending the duration of action. Seed coating technology can use carbomer as a film forming agent, which can not only fix fungicides or nutrients, but also form a moisturizing layer to promote water absorption and germination of seeds. These novel applications demonstrate Kapom’s technological advantages in the modernization of traditional industries.

With the progress of nanotechnology, Polyacrylic Acid has become increasingly active in the application of new drug carriers and smart materials. For example, by linking carbomer to small particles, a Ph-responsive targeted drug delivery system can be built; In the field of bendable sensors, Kapomgi hydrogels can be made into sensing layers for wearable devices due to their high tensile and electrical conductivity. These important new attempts further expand the range of applications of Polyacrylic Acid and place it in an important position in future technological changes.
