Abstract
Scouring cleaning compositions are disclosed in which the abrasive agent consists of agglomerates of finely divided abrasive material and an organic binder for agglomerating such material. Compositions of the invention have good soil-removing properties and improved non-scratching behavior. They are useful as powdered or liquid household products as well as skin-cleaning products.
Claims23
Scouring cleaning compositions comprising from 5 to 99% by weight of an abrasive agent consisting of agglomerates of finely divided abrasive material having no particles of initial size above 20 micrometers, at least 80% by weight thereof being of initial size below 10 micrometers, and an organic binder for agglomerating such material, from 1 to 20% by weight of the binder being an oil-soluble anionic or cationic polar compound;
- the flexural strength of the agglomerates being above 1.5 kilograms.
