MixTek Provides Innovative Aerosol Product Possibilities for Product Development Chemists, Packaging and Marketing Professionals

MixTek Mixing Solutions is the only comprehensive technology platform that co-mixes the contents of two aerosol containers that cannot be combined before use, and co-dispenses the mixture in a variety of forms… cleanly, safely and effectively.

Product development professionals can meet marketing's needs while ensuring a realistic solution that provides the efficacy and product integrity to protect the company and its customers. MixTek is the co-dispensing technology for today's and tomorrow's needs.

MixTek Makes it Possible

Reopen that dormant idea file… the one that every instinct tells you would be a winner if only it could be done. Now you can say "yes" to marketing and product development more often, combining go-to-market ideas with realism and cost containment. Because now there's a workable and flexible answer for those products that are based on ingredients that have to be kept separate prior to use. MixTek's technology platform delivers new and innovative products that answer previously unsolvable dispensing challenges… creating a new generation of products that will capture the attention and loyalty of your target market.

Products Requiring Two Components To Be Mixed Immediately Before Use:

The MixTek^TM System instantly and accurately mixes the components and efficiently delivers the functional product either as a spray or liquid/gel/paste stream. One step. No mess, waste or cleanup.

Products Requiring Discrete Side-by-Side Product Streams:

MixTek flawlessly delivers separate side-by-side streams for those products designed to demonstrate the presence of two components to the user (e.g., baking soda and peroxide toothpaste; body cleanser that conditions) or where delayed mixing of the components is desired.

It truly provides what no other system can: a precise mixture of previously separated ingredients, delivered in a variety of forms, in a custom designed brand specific package to maximize impact and product differentiation at point of sale.
