  • Publication number: 20150007399
    Abstract: A liquid cleaning and/or cleansing composition comprising non-spherical and/or non-rolling abrasive cleaning particles wherein the abrasive cleaning particles comprise extruded, and/or three-dimensional printed, elements having a longitudinal length “L” extending parallel to a z-axis and a complex cross-sectional shape extending on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal length “L” and parallel to an x-y plane, wherein the complex cross-sectional shape comprises one or more elongate protrusions projecting in a direction parallel to the longitudinal length “L”, each protrusion having at least one edge, and wherein the complex cross-sectional shape is a predetermined non-random cross-sectional shape.

  • Publication number: 20140357544
    Abstract: A liquid cleaning and/or cleansing composition comprising non-spherical and/or non-rolling abrasive cleaning particles derived from a foam structure comprising a plurality of struts, wherein the abrasive cleaning particles comprise a plurality of filler particles at least partly incorporated therein, wherein the particle size of the abrasive cleaning particles is greater than the particle size of the filler particles and wherein the ratio of the mean area-equivalent diameter of the filler particles to the abrasive cleaning particles is from 0.01 to 0.2, the area-equivalent diameter being measured according to ISO 9276-6.
