Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A tooth-stain bleaching composition in concentrate form consisting essentially of: I. from about 2% to about 50% of a bleaching compound selected from the group consisting of: aryl peroxyacids having the formula: ##SPC3## wherein at least one X is a substituent group having a Hammett sigma constant equal to or greater than +0.2, and n is a number from 1 to 3, said substituents being either in the meta or para portion; and Ii. the balance an inert organic diluent which is an organic liquid or soft wax selected from the group consisting of: A. saturated fatty acids containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms; and B. saturated acylate esters containing from about 10 to about 80 carbon atoms wherein the acyl group contains from about 2 to about 22 carbon atoms and from 1 to about 3 carboxyl groups, and the alcohol group contains from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms and from 1 to about 6 hydroxy groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A tooth-stain bleaching composition in concentrate form consisting essentially of: I. from about 2% to about 50% of a bleaching compound selected from the group consisting of: aryl peroxyacids having the formula: ##SPC3## wherein at least one X is a substituent group having a Hammett sigma constant equal to or greater than +0.2, and n is a number from 1 to 3, said substituents being either in the meta or para portion; and Ii. the balance an inert organic diluent which is an organic liquid or soft wax selected from the group consisting of: A. saturated fatty acids containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms; and B. saturated acylate esters containing from about 10 to about 80 carbon atoms wherein the acyl group contains from about 2 to about 22 carbon atoms and from 1 to about 3 carboxyl groups, and the alcohol group contains from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms and from 1 to about 6 hydroxy groups.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the X substituents on the aryl peroxyacid are selected from the groups consisting of chloro, m-fluoro, nitro, trifluoromethyl, trimethylammonium, cyano, carboxy, percarboxy and acetyl groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The composition of claim 2 wherein the aryl peroxyacid is diperisophthalic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
A composition according to claim 3 containing from about 5% to about 35% of the diperisophthalic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
The method of removing stain from teeth in the mouth or in dentures with a composition of claim 1, comprising the steps of diluting said composition to a concentration of aryl peroxyacid of from about 0.01% to about 5% and contacting the stained teeth with the diluted composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the composition is diluted to a concentration of from about 0.05% to about 0.5% of the aryl peroxyacid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 6 wherein the aryl peroxyacid is perisophthalic acid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 7 wherein the stain on the teeth has been formed by the application of salts of 1, 6-di (N-p-chlorophenyldiguanido)hexane, or related bis-biguanide compounds.
