Application and Processing Guide
Formulating with AC-TA
Add AC-TA to the water phase, start around the recommended use level and verify the complete multi-active formula.
- Dissolve in the water phase Add AC-TA directly to the water phase and dissolve before emulsification.
- Set the process AC-TA supports high-temperature processing; confirm the batch sequence with the current TDS.
- Start around 3% and control pH Use around 3% as the formulation starting point and maintain the formula within pH 3-9.
- Build and verify the active system When pairing AC-TA with other brightening ingredients, confirm clarity, color, compatibility, pH and stability in the finished formula.
