 Pioma Chemicals, a leading player in the global functional excipients & specialty chemicals space, is redefining the standards of safety, quality, and performance in the personal care and pharmaceutical formulation market with its flagship product, Biopol - Carbomers. Designed to meet the most stringent international norms, Biopol is positioned as a premium, safe, and high-performance alternative to conventional carbomers widely used as thickeners & rheology modifiers in gels, ointments, creams, lotions and rinse off products.
Speaking on the unique value proposition of Biopol, Mr. Jaynil Doshi – Head Techno-Commercial at Pioma Chemicals, stated, "With the world becoming more aware due to the advanced research in Healthcare & Human safety, Biopol is fast becoming the preferred choice of Carbomer globally due to the higher safety levels it brings with it by completely eliminating the use of carcinogenic residual solvents (such as benzene & others) & stringent control of all other impurities.”
Unlike manufacturers who use benzene, Biopol takes a proactive approach by not only aligning with global pharmaceutical norms but also providing a comparatively economical & safer option. Biopol – Carbomers are made in Italy, Europe in the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility which follows all the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) to ensure product is fit for pharmaceutical as well as personal care applications.
“Safety takes precedence over everything else & even though our product is of premium quality in terms of its performance, we have taken conscious efforts to keep the pricing competitive enough to ensure it is accessible to all & not restricted to certain applications only. We’re probably not the cheapest. Cheaper alternatives do exist but they often compromise on one aspect or the other,” Doshi emphasized.
A key differentiator for Biopol is not only its functionality as a thickening agent but also its optical clarity, which is crucial in finished formulations such as gels, ointments & rinse off products.
“Clarity is more than a cosmetic detail. It’s a psychological signal. If a product looks transparent, safe, neat and tidy, it instantly appears more premium, safer. If a carbomer does not provide the desired viscosity, gel strength and clarity, it defeats the purpose.” Doshi explained.
Biopol ensures high clarity in formulations, reinforcing both product aesthetics and consumer trust. Each batch is thoroughly tested, certified and supplied thereafter, ensuring transparency, accountability and consistency.
“We are not just claiming performance. We are certifying it, batch by batch & supporting it with our trend data for each grade” he noted.
One of Biopol’s core strengths lies in its dedicated manufacturing facility. The company is focused exclusively on producing carbomers, which eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and ensures consistent output. This dedicated approach is rare in a market where carbomers are often one of several products being produced across the manufacturing lines in a single facility.
With a robust global supply chain, Pioma is actively catering to clients across Europe, United Kingdom, USA and Asia. They believe Biopol’s differentiated offering has already made its impact on the formulators choice & is consistently increasing its foothold even in competitive markets.
With a strategic focus on safety, product performance, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness, Pioma Chemicals is positioning Biopol as a Carbomer of choice - tailored for a quality conscious global market. It’s one of a kind manufacturing technology makes Biopol a compelling choice for formulators seeking performance, safety & commercial viability – all in one.
Biopol – Carbomers have numerous applications in the current market starting from gels, creams, lotions, rinse off products in Personal Care to toothpaste & tooth gel in oral care to ointments, syrups (as thickener) & tablets (as controlled release polymer, binder) in pharmaceuticals. Of course, it is being used for several other applications as well such as fuel gels, batteries, ultrasound gels & many more as they keep exploring more & more with time.
Innovation remains at the core of Pioma’s philosophy whether it is through development of new products to elevating the existing products to finding new applications. This is possible with their dedicated technical support team which is available at the behest of the customer for new development as well as for trouble shooting projects at all times.
