How to Use Starphere T5-ZI701N in Your Formulations
Understanding Starphere T5-ZI701N
Starphere T5-ZI701N offers a simple yet powerful way to enhance your oral care products. This ingredient consists of Zeolite granules, a naturally occurring mineral with a unique, cage-like porous structure. Think of each tiny granule as a microscopic sponge. This architecture gives it the ability to trap and hold onto unwanted molecules, such as volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and other impurities in the mouth that contribute to malodor.
For formulators, this means you are adding more than just a standard abrasive. Starphere T5-ZI701N delivers dual-action performance: it gently polishes tooth surfaces while also adsorbing impurities that can cause bad breath. Its controlled particle size (200–420 μm) supports effective cleaning and polishing without excessive abrasiveness, making it appropriate for daily-use formulations.
Formulation Tips
Starphere T5-ZI701N is a stable, inert mineral granule that can be incorporated directly into the main base of your toothpaste or tooth powder formula. It disperses readily and is compatible with common oral care components.
- Recommended Usage Rate: 1–10%. Use 1–3% for gentle daily polishing; 4–10% for enhanced purifying or whitening claims.
- Incorporation: Add during the main mixing phase and ensure uniform dispersion to avoid clumping. Compatible with humectants (e.g., glycerin, sorbitol), binders (e.g., xanthan), surfactants, flavors, and typical actives.
- Texture: The 200–420 μm particle size imparts a subtle, clean-feel texture that can reinforce a “deep-clean” sensory cue.
- Natural Formulations: A 100% natural mineral and an eco-friendly alternative to plastic microbeads; suitable for vegan and cruelty-free product lines.
Key Performance Benefits
- Gentle Polishing Action: Helps remove plaque and surface stains to support a brighter smile while remaining enamel-friendly.
- Natural Odor Neutralizer: Adsorbs volatile sulfur compounds to reduce malodor and promote lasting freshness.
- Detoxifying & Purifying: Acts like a magnet for impurities in the oral environment, supporting a cleaner mouthfeel.
- Environmentally Friendly: A natural mineral that replaces synthetic abrasives and non-biodegradable microbeads.
- Consistent Texture & Performance: Defined 200–420 μm granule size supports uniform distribution and predictable sensory effects.
- Formulation Stability: Inert and non-reactive; does not interfere with common oral care actives (e.g., fluoride) or natural extracts.
