Tromethamine, a versatile ingredient in formula development, has demonstrated remarkable benefits in enhancing emulsion formation. Customers have observed that the incorporation of tromethamine facilitates the rapid and effortless amalgamation of formulations. Notably, utilizing tromethamine upfront to neutralize rheology modifiers before emulsifying the oil and water phases results in improved product efficacy. The strategic application of tromethamine extends to neutralizing various acidic components such as rheology modifiers and fatty acids. This proactive approach yields significant improvements in stability, viscosity, and shear thinning performance. Additionally, tromethamine is recognized for its capacity to uphold pH levels effectively and for extended durations, ensuring the longevity of desired product attributes. In this session, you will learn that the incorporation of tromethamine in formula development offers a multitude of advantages. This multifaceted ingredient emerges as a key factor in achieving superior product outcomes and holds the potential for cost-effective formulation strategies.
