Plant

Toothpaste is a gel or paste used for cleaning teeth and maintaining oral hygiene. It is applied to a toothbrush and used to brush the teeth and gums, removing plaque, bacteria, and food particles. Toothpaste usually contains several ingredients that work together to provide effective cleaning and other benefits. The different kinds of toothpaste, serving different functions are:

  • Fluoridated Toothpaste

  • Herbal Toothpaste

  • Sensitivity Toothpaste

  • Whitening Toothpaste

  • Tartar Control Toothpaste

  • Smokers Toothpaste

  • Children's Toothpaste

Market Size of Toothpaste

The Indian oral care market is worth ₹ 15,000 CR comprising of toothpaste, toothbrush, tooth powder, mouthwash, and denture care.  The toothpaste market is the largest segment at ~70% of the oral care market.  The market size of the toothpaste is estimated to be ₹10,000-12,000 CR.

Ingredients used in Toothpaste Manufacturing

  • Water

  • Abrasives (e.g., softened silica, chalk, baking soda)

  • Sudsers (e.g., sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium lauryl sulfo acetate, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate)

  • Humectants (e.g., sorbitol, glycerin, propylene glycol)

    • Retain paste form

    • Contribute to mouth feel

    • Add sweetness

  • Flavors (typically mint)

  • Sweeteners (typically Saccharin)

  • Fluorides

  • Whiteners

  • Preservatives (typically p-hydrozybenzoate)

  • Binders (e.g., karaya gum, bentonite, sodium alginate, carrageenan)

  • Emulsifiers & Stabilizers

  • Preservatives

    • Provide thickening

    • Prevent separation of solid and liquid ingredients

    • Control foam production, rate of flavor release and product dispersal, appearance on the toothbrush, and toothbrush rinsability.

High Shear & High Viscosity Mixing Technology
for Toothpaste Manufacturing

High-shear mixers or high-shear homogenizers are used to produce standard mixtures of ingredients that do not naturally mix. This industrial machinery disperses, or transports, one phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main continuous phase (liquid), with which it would normally be immiscible. A rotor, together with a stationary component known as a stator, or an array of rotors and stators, is used in a mixing tank containing the solution to be mixed, and in a pipe through which the solution passes, to create shear. A high-shear homogenizer mixer is used to create emulsions, suspensions, lyosols (gas dispersed in liquid), and granular products. It is used in the food, pharmaceutical, adhesives, chemical, cosmetic, and plastics industries for emulsification, homogenization, particle size reduction, and dispersion.

Key design factors in the high shear mixers include the diameter of the rotor and its rotational speed, the distance between the rotor and the stator.

Advantages of United Group's Toothpaste Plant

Toothpaste manufacturers usually face problems of aeration in their products, due to presence of air in powder raw materials. United Group's high viscosity mixing technology ensures smooth processing of the raw materials, despite the abrasive nature of white toothpastes.
The machinery ensures robust preparation of liquid base prior to the addition of abrasive ingredients, deagglomeration of the mix before fillers are added, and refinement of finished product before packing.

  • Short Batch Times

  • Consistently High Product Quality

  • Excellent Homogenization

  • Rapid Emulsification

  • User-Friendly Operation

  • Used to Manufacture a Wide Range of Product

  • Stirrer and Dispersion Device with Speed Control

  • Prevention of Lump Formation & Clumping

  • Controlled Dosage Rate

  • Suitable for Highest Viscosities

  • Long-time Stability of Emulsions

  • Fine Particle Size Reduction
