Toothpaste

Toothpastes are generally either white abrasive pastes or clear gels. Although the formulations differ they share many common ingredients. These include: liquid base (typically sorbitol or glycerin), fillers and abrasives, rheology modifiers, detergent, active ingredients like fluoride, flavor, sweetener, coloring and preservatives.

Gel toothpastes can be manufactured using a Silverson mixer, and several stages of white toothpaste manufacture can also benefit from high shear mixing. To find out more about this application, please read the report below.
