Abstract
Abstract A toothpaste composition contains an alkali metal aluminum silicate zeolite as the polishing agent base. The composition is non-corrosive to aluminum containers, polishes well without excessive abrasion and is compatible with dental fluorine compounds. A particularly suitable polishing agent is Zeolite A having the empirical formula Na 12 (AlO 2 ) 12 .(SiO 2 ) 12 .27H 2 O.
