Description

DRAL COMPOSITIONS
This invention relates to oral compositions, more : particulary to oral compositions comprising as an abrasive cleaning agent particles of alumina trihydrate a (A1,0,3H,0), sometimes referred to as aluminium trihydrate or aluminium hydroxide. . Alumina trihydrate is a well-known abrasive agent of aral compositions such as toothpastes. It is made by the Bayer process which produces a coarse grade of material which is then milled to a particle size appropriate for use in oral composition.
In GR-A-1 277 58% (Unilever) it is disclosed that toothpastes containing milled alumina trihydrate can cause corrosion of aluminium toothpaste tubes and that 18 sodium monofluorophosphate and other sources of monofluorophosphate ions are effective to inhibit this corrosion. Certain phosphate esters are also disclosed as being effective in GB-A-1 4705 252 (Colgate-
Falmolive). The presence of certain materials during the milling process as disclosed in GR-A-1 537 823 (British Aluminium Co., Ltd.) and GR-A-) G44 337 (Colgate-Falmolive) is said to modify the surface of the milled alumina trihydrate particles and make them more suitable for inclusion in toothpastes contained in aluminium tubes. 1t is nowadays common to include sodium monofluo-
raphosphate in dentifrices as & source of fluoride to protect the teeth against dental caries. : be have determined that there is some interaction between sodium monofluorophosphate and an alumina 3 trihydrate abrasive resulting in a loss of scluble fluoride on storage of a dentifrice, which is more marked at elevated temperatures. Thus, there may be some loss of anti-caries efficacy of such toothpastes. t
It has now been discovered that the stability of monofluorophosphate in dentifrices containing an alumina trihydrate abrasive, and also containing zinc citrate, is surprisingly improved if instead of employing a milled alumina trihydrate there is used an unmilled precipitated alumina trihydrate of appropriate particle size. The stability of soluble zinc in the dentifrice is also improved. Zinc citrate is a know anti-calculus and anti-plaque agent (see US-A-4 100 269 (Lever Rrothers Co.) fccordingly the invention relates to an oral composition comprising 20 te 70% by weight of an unmilled precipitated alumina trihydrate of average particle size 3 to 15 microns, preferably 5 to 10 microns, sodium monofluorophosphate in an amount of 0.1 to 2% by weight and zinc citrate in an amount of 0.032 2% toy 5% by weight.
The alumina abrasive used in oral compositions of thie invention is made by a precipitation process which mf)
: is a modification of that conventionally used to produce very fine alumina precipitates of average particle size 1-2 microns and helow, in which process the precipitation conditions are varied so as to allow 3 the growth of larger crystal aggresgates. A suitable method to prepare the aluminas is described by J. Scott in a paper, "The effect of Seed and Temperature on the
Farticle Size of Bayer Hydrate", presented at the
International Symposium on the Extractive Metallurgy of
Aluminium, New York February 1962.
As indicated above, it has been found that the unmilled precipitated alumina abrasive has improved compatibility with scluble zinc and therefore in accordance with a further aspect of the invention there iz provided an oral composition comprising in combina- tion an unmilled precipitated alumina trihydrate abrasive and a water-soluble zinc compound. It is well known to include water-secluble zinc compounds in oral compositions. Many are disclosed in ua-A-4 100 269 referred to above. Others are disclosed in US-A-4 022 880, US-A-4 144 323, US-A-4 656 031 and US-A-4 160 821.
The amount of the zinc compound may he from about 0.02% to about 5% by weight of the oral composition.
Oral composition of the invention will also contain other conventional ingredients. These in the form of a dentifrice cream or gel will usually contain an humectant liquid, a surface-active agent, a binder = 5 a=
' ’ 26078 or thickener and flavour. Other minor ingredients may also be present, such as up to 1% by weight of 2°, 4, 4 —-trichlora-2-hydrosy-diphenylether as antimicrobial agent.
Ti In GE-A-2 009 5396 (Unilever) there is described a toothpaste containing MRF and alumina trihydrate abrazive but not containing zinc ion-producing compounds, wherein the abrasive consists of a mixture . of arn alumina trihydrate baving an average particle 149 size of from 3 to 13 microns and an alumina trihydrate having an average particle size of less than 1 micron, the weight ratic of the two alumina trihydratez being from 30:70 to 70:30. The sub-micron alumina trihydrate described has an average particle size of 0.2 to 0.9 micron, particularly about 0.5% micron. It is produced commercially as a fine precipitate and not by grinding larger particles.
The following experiments illustrate the inven-— tion. Fercentages are by weight.
Toothpastes were made having the following composition.

Sorbitol syrup (70% solution) 27.0 28 Sodium lauryl sulphate 1.875

A number of toothpastes were formulated using the different grades of alumina trihydrate mentioned below: ' 1. Milled alumina trihydrate of average particle size 6-8 microns (available commercially from EA
Chemicals as AF 280). 2, Milled alumina trihydrate of average particle size about 10 microns (available commercially from
BA Chemicals as AF 240). 3. A precipitated {not milled) alumina trihydrate of average particle size about 6 microns. : The respective toothpastes were stored at 37°C for & months. The amount of water-soluble fluoride available after storage expressed as a percentage of that available immediately after manufacture is indicated in the Table below. The percentage of soluble zinc is also given in the Table.

Milled alumina trihydrate, a1 48 aps¥ 6-8 microns
Milled alumina trihydrate, 2 37 = aps about 19 microns
Frecipitated alumina trihydrate, 29 54 aps about & microns ¥ average particle size
The results show the superior properties of the toothpaste according to this invention.
