Abstract
A denture adhesive base composition consisting essentially of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and ethylene oxide polymer. A denture adhesive composition including this base composition is also provided with other optional adhesive components. Also is provided a method for formulating a novel denture adhesive base composition consisting essentially of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and ethylene oxide polymer.
Claims20
A denture adhesive base composition consisting essentially of:
- a) from about 15 to 75 wt. % polyvinyl pyrrolidone and
- b) from about 5 to 40 wt. % ethylene oxide polymer.
A method for preparing a denture adhesive composition comprising:
- a. preparing a substantially anhydrous mixture consisting essentially of from about 15 to 75 wt. % polyvinyl pyrrolidone and from about 5 to 40 wt. % ethylene oxide polymer;
- b. forming a denture adhesive composition including said denture adhesive base composition;
- and
- c. recovering said denture adhesive composition.
A denture stabilizing composition consisting essentially of a safe and adhesively effective amount of two components:
- a) polyvinyl pyrrolidone and b) ethylene oxide polymer.
