The Chief Scientific Officer of Revolymer was walking the streets of the US and became curious about what all the blobs on the sidewalks were. He quickly realised it was gum and, challenged by his wife, decided to do something about it.

He went away and designed a new ingredient that would work within gum.

On the seventh attempt, he created the perfect ingredient that, when formulated into gum, gave removability and degradability properties – and REV7 was born (Rev for Revolution, 7 for the number of attempts it took to perfect).

Scientists at Revolymer have worked for several years since to achieve a great tasting, great chewing product that still realises these properties.

Other Uses

Cosmetics
Utilising our proprietary polymer technology Revolymer has developed a new range of premium cosmetic products. Our lipsticks and lip balms deliver exceptional sensorial characteristics with long lasting shine combined with essential moisturisation, enhancing performance and wearability.

Breath Freshening Chewing Gum
Revolymer has applied its proprietary gumbase technology to develop an exciting new chewing gum that can help combat bad breath (halitosis) and in addition provides teeth whitening and plaque reduction and will of course will be readily removable from most surfaces.

Nicotine Gum
Revolymer has applied its environmentally friendly chewing gum technology to develop an exciting range of nicotine gums which can help people quit smoking. Consumers have demanded improved taste and a more pleasant mouth versus the currently marketed products. Revolymer's new products meet and exceeds those demands and the resulting user experience is superb.

Caffeine Gum
Caffeine Gums have been around for a long time but consumers have demanded improved taste. Revolymers technology enables a more gradual release of caffeine and helps mask the bitter flavour associated with these products. The new gums are great!

Coatings
Revolymer has developed a range of coatings technologies suitable for various applications. For example controlling the release of actives from a surface film, protection of actives from aggressive base components in formulations, barrier coatings and intelligent coatings used in the prevention of biofouling.

Personal Care
Apart from the use of our new polymer architectures in cosmetics we have also developed a range of natural polymers that can be used in advanced hair care products.

Oral Care
Our amphiphilic polymers can be used in oral care as part of an mouth hygiene regimen. We are working with partners to develop future products to overcome halitosis.

Adhesives & Sealants
The ability to create adhesives that work in both wet and dry conditions is challenging and Revolymer has developed new synthetic strategies to overcome these traditional problems. Applications are found both at an industrial and in consumer scale .

Household Care
Often working closely with customers Revolymer has applied its polymer technology to develop new advanced household product formulations, for example, to control and improve the activity of laundry and dishwasher products.
