Denture cleansers

Abstract

Abstract IMPROVEMENTS ARE SET FORTH IN THE PRODUCTION OF DENTURE CLEANSERS CONTAINING INORGANIC PEROXY OXYGEN-LIBERATING COMPOUNDS WHICH WHEN ADDED TO WATER CAUSE EVOLUTION OF OXYGEN AND BUBBLING. MORE VIGOROUS BUBBLING AND HENCE MORE EFFICIENT CLEANSING OF ARTIFICAL DENTURES IS BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE INCLUSION OF CATALYSTS. A PARTICULARLY ADAPTABLE ACTIVATING MATERIAL IS ONE WHICH CONSISTS OF A HEAVY METAL CHELATE. THE SHELF-LIKE OF A CLEANSER OF THE TYPE DESCRIBED IS FOUND TO BE GREATLY LENGTHENED IF IT DOES NOT CONTAIN AN EXCESS OF THE HEAVY METAL COMPONENT. IT IS ALSO FOUND ADVANTAGEOUS TO AVOID AN EXCESS OF THE CHELATING AGENT. THUS IS IS PREFERRED TO PREPARE THE HEAVY METAL CHELATE WITH ITS COMPONENT PARTS IN STOICHIOMETRIC PROPORTIONS.
