Key benefits:

Sorbosil® AC43

Sorbosil® AC43 delivers optimum cleaning performance for low RDA pastes (70-120 RDA). Through the tight control of the particle size and strength, this ingredient delivers exceptional improvements in cleaning performance at very low levels (0.5-5%), by replacing a small percentage of standard abrasive.

Key benefits:

Formulatory Guidance

FORMULATING WITH SORBOSIL® - The sensory impact can be customised by using different product strengths and sizes. An incorporation level from less than 1% and up to 10% delivers the ideal sensory cue. Coloured particles usually deliver required visual impact at incorporation levels of 1% or less. Dual visual and sensory effects can be achieved either by incorporation of coloured and non-coloured products or by combining products of different strength and particlesize.
