Gum base ingredients
Ingredientes de base de chicle
Caucho, resina, cera, suavizantes, rellenos y emulsionantes: composiciones diseñadas para más de 260 fórmulas de base.
Gum base is mixed with rubber, resin, wax and other materials. Main components include high molecular polymers (elastomer), resins (plastic body), softeners, fillers and emulsifiers.
Composition determines texture, elasticity, flavor release and regulatory fit. Every recipe needs a specific gum base build — which is why manufacturers maintain hundreds of compositions.
Is gum base healthy?
Gum base is innocuous — neither healthy nor unhealthy. Fillers and ingredients must follow each country’s rules. We adhere to destination-market regulations and review FDA and EU food-safety requirements.
The main gum base composition
Rubber, resin, wax and related materials are the essential substances in chewing gum. Different ratios create unique characteristics — formulation is the core technology of a gum base company.
