Imbue™ TEC
Imbue TEC™ is a microemulsion that performs as a delivery system for triethyl citrate. It is an ideal choice for a variety of products where deodorization is the desired result. It is ideal for foot creams, deodorizing washes and pet products. Green Line’s Imbue™ products serve as a base for microemulsions, which formulators can use to create advanced cosmetic products of superior quality and stability. Imbue™ products maintain system transparency at lower use levels, although they can be used up to 50% of the formulation. These products are instantly dispersable in water, and do not require the heating and high shear during process that other emulsions do.
