Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing the treatment effectiveness of oral care products. An apparatus for assessing the effectiveness of the sensitivity improving, stain prevention, and/or stain removal capability of an oral care product. Apparatuses for identically applying an oral care product to two or more surfaces simulating an oral cavity surface, such as a tooth surface.

Abstract: A composition suitable for printing onto a fibrous structures and/or absorbent paper products is disclosed. The composition is provided with an ink composition and a silicone composition. The ink composition contains from about 0% to about 50% pigment, from about 0% to about 50% resin, and from about 100% to about 0% water. The silicone composition contains from about 1% to about 75% of silicone, from about 99% to about 25% emulsion, and from about 0% to about 99% water. The composition comprises from about 50% to about 99.75% of the ink composition and from about 0.25% to about 50% of the silicone composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for softening a wet laid cellulosic structure. A particularly preferred structure is an absorbent tissue. Further disclosed are tissue structures softened using the composition. The composition includes an effective amount of a softening active ingredient; a vehicle in which the softening active ingredient is dispersed; an electrolyte dissolved in the vehicle; and a bilayer disrupter. The electrolyte and the bilayer disrupter cooperate to cause the viscosity of the composition to be less than the viscosity of a dispersion of the softening active ingredient in the vehicle alone. Preferably, the softening active ingredient is a quaternary ammonium compound with the formula: (R1)4-m—N+—[(CH2)n—Y—R3]mX? the vehicle is water, the electrolyte is calcium chloride, and the bilayer disrupter is a nonionic surfactant. Also disclosed is a method of using the compound by adding it at a use concentration to the wet end of a papermaking process.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for softening an absorbent tissue and tissue structures softened using the composition. The composition includes an effective amount of a softening active ingredient; a vehicle in which the softening active ingredient is dispersed; an electrolyte dissolved in the vehicle; a bilayer disrupter and a high polymer. The electrolyte and the bilayer disrupter cooperate to cause the viscosity of the composition to be less than the viscosity of a dispersion of the softening active ingredient in the vehicle alone. The high polymer adds “stringiness” to the composition opening the air pressure operating window for spray application of the softening composition.
