Triple Line Technology
To avoid the use of volatile organic compound (VOC)-emitting propellants, UK-based startup Triple Line
Technology Ltd. developed the TLT Foamer, a technology to create high-quality foams from aerosol packaging using
compressed gas propellants, such as compressed nitrogen or compressed air.
The proprietary component can be integrated into the dip tube or the actuator of aerosol packaging. It creates
bubbles of fewer than 100 microns in diameter, and can generate a range of different foam textures with varying
air content and bubbles of uniform size. The foamer works with a range of viscosities, from simple soap solutions
(1–3cp) to 38% fat dairy cream (50cp), as well as formulas with suspended particles, Triple Line Tech said.

The TLT Foamer is compatible with commercially available aerosol valves and cans (steel, aluminum, polymer),
and can be assembled and filled on existing aerosol filling lines. The foaming component is also suitable
for high volume, low-cost manufacturing methods, such as injection molding, and can be produced in
a wide range of materials.
Applications for the TLT-Foamer are versatile and include food, household and personal care products,
as well as medical and industrial items. According to the company, the component can be incorporated
into products such as shaving foam, hair mousse, shower foam,
sunscreen, tanning lotion, medicated skin foam and foamed foundation,
as well as oven and carpet cleaners. The technology is scalable from dispensing
a few milliliters to an industrial scale production (liters) of microfoam.
