  • Patent number: 6759030
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel and improved bleach-stable compositions and processes and methods of making such compositions. More particularly, the invention relates to providing improved dental compositions comprising an effective amount of a discontinuous phase consisting of one or more hydrophobic, inert, bleach-stable abrasive agents that are polymers, copolymers and crosspolymers of granular nature of about between 2 microns and 150 microns particle size, present in the operative range of about 10% and 75% with respect to the total weight of the composition, said abrasive agents are dispersed or otherwise distributed in a continuous phase comprising one or more bleaching actives emulsed in an inclusion complex polymer (ICP) of delayed water and saliva solubility said emulsified bleaching active being capable of forming a long lasting bleaching film on tooth surfaces and being present in the operative range of about 0.

  • Patent number: 4229410
    Abstract: A toilet element having bacteriostatic and/or deodorizing and/or coloring components contained within a water soluble, water sensitive or water swellable resinous article. The element is made functional by merely contacting it with water to thereby release a determined amount of the active agents in the environment until all or part of the element is dissolved in the water.

  • Patent number: 3963497
    Abstract: This invention relates to x-ray photography and more specifically to a film sensitive to x-rays wherein both developing and fixing chemicals are contained within a single hydrophilic layer of the film. The film, following exposure, can simply be placed in water for both development and fixing and without employing separate aqueous alkaline developers and aqueous acidic fixers.
