Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing dental plaque, caries, or gingival or periodontal diseases of the oral cavity in humans or lower animals, with reduced staining of teeth or dentures. The methods comprise topically applying to the oral surfaces of the teeth or dentures of the humans or lower animals:(a) a safe and effective amount of a monoperoxyphthalate compound, and(b) a safe and effective amount of an anti-plaque bis-biguanide compound.The present invention also relates to compositions for achieving such treatments.

Abstract: A class of polymer precursor materials, which, under appropriate conditions, react to form cross-linked polymers, is disclosed. These materials contain a backbone segment, preferably a polyacrylate, and have pendant therefrom (1) reactive mono- or disubstituted olefinic groups, such as vinyl or allyl itaconate, and (2) water-solubilizing groups, such as the half ester of maleic acid. This class of materials, especially when combined with specifically-defined oxygen-activated catalyst systems, provides water-based paint compositions which exhibit film formation, strength and durability characteristics comparable to those of the best solvent-based paint formulations.

Abstract: Oligomeric or polymeric triaryl- and substituted triarylphosphine compounds which are non-digestible and non-absorbable by animals are disclosed. These compounds act as antioxidants by inhibiting the buildup of hydroperoxides of unsaturated fatty acids, e.g., in foods.

Abstract: The disclosed process is a method for improving the flavor of fried foods, especially chicken, by frying said food in an oil or fat containing a compound which prevents the build-up of hydroperoxides of fatty acids and esters thereof and the decomposition products of the hydroperoxides in both the oil and the food.

Abstract: Described are certain spiro carboxylic acids and their allethrolone esters. The esters of these acids possess unique insecticidal properties and are useful as such in home, garden and agricultural applications.
