  • Publication number: 20030133882
    Abstract: A transparent dentifrice is provided that has excellent abrasive performance. The dentifrice comprises from about 10 wt % to about 13 wt % water, and an abrasive, low-structure, precipitated silica having: a refractive index of from about 1.439 to 1.450, an oil absorption of from about 90 ml/100 g to about 120 ml/100 g, a light transmittance of greater than about 60%; and a Brass Einlehner abrasion value of less than about 5 mg loss/100,000 rev. Additionally the dentifrice has: a haze value of less than about 50; an RDA of about 50 to 200; and a refractive index of from about 1.439 to 1.450.

  • Publication number: 20030131536
    Abstract: An abrasive precipitated silica is provided that provides excellent abrasive performance and good viscosity build, but also has a relatively high degree of transmittance, and an index of refraction that is sufficiently low to allow it to be a component of a transparent toothpaste composition having a relatively high concentration of water. The amorphous precipitated silica composition has a refractive index of from about 1.439 to 1.450, a light transmittance of greater than about 60%, and a Brass Einlehner abrasion value of less than about 5 mg loss/100,000 rev.
