7. Cover The ToothPaste and Use Homoginizer to mix it much better
8. Packing the toothpaste
Errors During The Production
We Heated the tooth paste After CaCO3 added and it becomes liquid
We Heated the tooth paste After CaCO3 added and it becomes liquid
the tooth paste losed its gel property.
At first experiment we used mortar and pestel instead of beakers i
At first experiment we used mortar and pestel instead of beakers i
when we used the mortar and pestle the tooth paste texture was changed due to the excess heat.
