Removeable Gum
Revolymer®'s patented low adhesion technology offers a breakthrough in chewing gum production. The patented Revolymer® chewing gum polymer is easy to handle and can be incorporated readily into both a chewing gum base and a final chewing gum using current manufacturing processes. In some instances the polymer may replace certain other non-ingestible and tacky ingredients. The resultant gums have a good "mouth texture“ and can be easily be removed from many surfaces with water.
The expertise of the Revolymer® technical team is available to work with customers to develop low adhesion chewing gum solutions in their markets.
The incorporation of one new polymer, Rev7® into a chewing gum formulation gives gums that are easy to remove from most common surfaces including pavements, bricks, carpets, fabrics and clothes by just using domestic washing up liquids. Also in real street situations spontaneous removal through normal street cleaning and pedestrian traffic removes 75% of the new gums.
Degradable Gum
After chewing a Revolymer® gum, as in all conventional chewing gums the sweeteners and flavours are digested leaving a chewing gum cud. Because of our technology, water can then infiltrate the cud causing it to breakdown and allow minerals to be released and micro-organisms access to natural and biodegradable components. This will leave an inert polymer which breaks down into tiny pieces, analogous to biodegradable plastic bags.
