Definitions

  • This invention relates to unique dentifrices comprising unique abrasive biogenic silica materials.
  • Such compositions exhibit excellent abrasive characteristics, either alone, or in combination with other types of abrasives, hi such combinations (with precipitated silica materials, as one example), simultaneously high pellicle film cleaning properties and moderate dentin abrasion levels are possible in order to accord the user a dentifrice that effectively cleans tooth surfaces while reducing the abrasion of the dentifrice, even at low levels of such biogenic silica additives.
  • Such biogenic silica particles thus surprisingly accord beneficial properties within dentifrice compositions.
  • Encompassed within this invention is the method of utilizing such biogenic silica products within dentifrices, either as the majority abrasive component, or in combination with any other type of commonly used abrasive material.
  • An abrasive substance has typically been included in conventional dentifrice compositions in order to remove various deposits, including pellicle film, from the surface of teeth.
  • Pellicle film is tightly adherent and often contains brown or yellow materials which impart a discoloration to the teeth. While cleaning is important, the abrasive should not be so aggressive so as to damage the teeth.
  • an effective dentifrice abrasive material maximizes pellicle film removal while causing minimal abrasion and damage to the hard tooth tissues. Consequently, among other things, the p6 ⁇ M1MMi&e orm&a& ⁇ waiGe is nighiy sensitive to tne extent ot abrasion caused by the abrasive ingredient.
  • the abrasive cleaning material has been introduced in flowable dry powder form to dentifrice compositions, or via redispersions of flowable dry powder forms of the polishing agent prepared before or at the time of formulating the dentifrice.
  • slurry forms of such abrasives have been provided to facilitate storage, transport, and introduction within target dentifrice formulations.
  • Synthetic low-structure silica products have been utilized for such a purpose due to the effectiveness such materials provide as abrasives, as well as low toxicity characteristics and compatibility with other dentifrice components, such as sodium fluoride, as one example.
  • the objective is to obtain silica products which provide maximal cleaning with minimal impact to the hard tooth surfaces.
  • Dental researchers are continually concerned with identifying abrasive materials that meet such objectives.
  • Dentifrices and other like paste materials must exhibit proper rheological properties for improved control, such as viscosity build, stand up, brush sag, and the like.
  • a stable paste that can meet a number of consumer requirements, including, and without limitation, the ability to be transferred out of a container (such as a tube) via pressure (i.e., squeezing of the tube) as a dimensionally stable paste and to removal of such pressure, the ability to be transferred in such a manner to a toothbrush-head easily and without continued flow out of the tube after such transference, the propensity to remain dimensionally stable on the brush prior to use and when applied to target teeth prior to brushing, and the exhibiting of proper mouthfeel for aesthetic purposes, at least, for the benefit of the user.
  • dentifrices are comprised of a majority of one or more humectants (such as sorbitol, glycerin, polyethylene glycol, and the like) in order to permit proper suspension and delivery of the oral care product, an abrasive (such as, typically, precipitated silica) for proper mechanical cleaning and polishing of the subject teeth, water, and other active components (such as fluoride-based compounds for anticaries benefits) and other components to provide other function such as foam and sensory appeal.

  • an abrasive such as, typically, precipitated silica
  • active components such as fluoride-based compounds for anticaries benefits
  • a number of water-insoluble, abrasive polishing agents have been used or described for dentifrice compositions. These abrasive polishing agents include natural and synthetic abrasive particulate materials.
  • the generally known synthetic abrasive polishing agents include amorphous precipitated silica products and silica gels and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC).
  • Other abrasive polishing agents for dentifrices have included chalk, magnesium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate and its dihydrate forms, calcium pyrophosphate, zirconium silicate, potassium metaphosphate, magnesium orthophosphate, tricalcium phosphate, perlite, and the like.
  • IgpilieffbMIyff iidlced precipitated low-structure silica products have been used as abrasive components in dentifrice formulations due to their cleaning ability, relative safeness, and compatibility with typical dentifrice ingredients, such as humectants, thickening agents, flavoring agents, anticaries agents, and so forth.
  • synthetic precipitated silicas generally are produced by the destabilization and precipitation of amorphous silica from soluble alkaline silicate by the addition of a mineral acid and/or acid gases under conditions in which primary particles initially formed tend to associate with each other to form a plurality of aggregates (iJe., discrete clusters of primary particles), but without agglomeration into a three-dimensional gel structure.
  • the resulting precipitate is separated from the aqueous fraction of the reaction mixture by filtering, washing, and drying procedures, and then the dried product is mechanically comminuted in order to provide a suitable particle size and size distribution.
  • silica drying procedures are conventionally accomplished using spray drying, nozzle drying (e.g., tower or fountain), wheel drying, flash drying, rotary wheel drying, oven/fluid bed drying, and the like.
  • certain conventional abrasive materials suffer to a certain extent from limitations associated with maximizing cleaning and minimizing dentin abrasion, not to mention complexity in terms of intensive manufacturing procedures, including issues relating to raw material transport, purchase, and ultimate modification.
  • raw materials include silica sand and mineral acids (sulfuric, for example), that include their own difficulties in transport, utilization, purification, storage, and ultimate waste disposal.

  • It ' Mas''b ⁇ ei ⁇ &llzel that the utilization of such rice hull derived silica products within dentifrices provides surprisingly effective abrasion characteristics.
  • the results are highly unexpected in that such combinations permit effective pellicle film cleaning with simultaneous low levels (though still effective) abrasion.
  • the overall result has been found to provide the potential to hone the pellicle film cleaning and radioactive dentin abrasion characteristics of such overall abrasives.
  • Such an ability meets a certain level of need within the dentifrice industry as the possibility of an abrasive or combination of abrasives that exhibit high pellicle film cleaning (PCR) properties with simultaneously lower radioactive dentin abrasion (RDA) results has been sought after for a long time.

  • synthetic precipitated silicas are prepared by admixing dilute alkali silicate solutions with strong aqueous mineral acids under conditions where aggregation to the sol and gel cannot occur, stirring and then filtering out the precipitated silica. The resulting precipitate is next washed, dried and comminuted to desired size.
  • the preferred biogenic silica material is derived from rice hulls, as is noted within U.S. Pat. No. 6,406,678.
  • the manufacturing process for such silica products is described in full within that patent, which is herein incorporated by reference to that extent.
  • the description itself of such a manufacturing process is thus as follows as provided within that reference:
  • silica content of rice hulls is generally in the 13-15% range of dry weight.
  • the rice hull silicas involve the necessary separation of the silica from the other impurities found in the biogenic material, primarily the hydrocarbons thereof. Following removal of the hydrocarbons, removal of small quantities of inorganic minerals that remain may be easily substantially removed.
  • the end product is a finely divided white powder of highly pure amorphous silica.
  • a first, but optional step, of the rice hull silica generation may be cleaning the rice hulls.
  • this will include screening the hulls to remove stalks, clumps of dirt, leaves and other large bodies therefrom and thereafter washing the hulls, with water, in an aqueous based solution containing a surfactant to enhance wet-ability of the hulls. It is believed that washing the hulls with an aqueous based surfactant solution accelerates absorption of oxidizing solution of a following step, as finely dividing the hulls, by shredding, crushing or other conventional means is also believed to do. Therefore, in this production scheme, the hulls are screened, washed with a surfactant solution and finely divided to accelerate the process. It is however noted that these steps are non-essential, highly pure amorphous silica may be extracted from rice hulls without employing these steps, although duration of the following steps maybe increased.
  • the optional step of soaking them in water which may be at elevated temperature.
  • Such soaking the hulls in water which may be, and preferably is, at elevated temperature, removes various soluble impurities therefrom and increases porosity of the hulls (making them more susceptible to ⁇ efima ⁇ &Wtoy oiiliifi ⁇ g solution in the following step), and may also effect some beneficial changes in the lignin and cellulose contained in the hulls. It has been observed that soaking rice hulls at near the boiling point of water for 12 or more hours accelerates the subsequent step of reducing the organic materials of the hulls by soaking them in an aqueous based oxidizing solution.
  • the first essential step of the rice hull silica production scheme is reducing the organic materials of the hulls by soaking them in an aqueous based solution .containing an oxidizing solute.
  • This may be accomplished with any number of materials, including many chlorates, perchlorates, nitrates, permanganates and certain peroxide compounds (such as Fenton's reagent) while comprehended by the invention, although they are not preferred.
  • Peracetic acid is a preferred oxidizing solute because its residue is easily removed in the final, optional, step of the process.
  • hydrogen peroxide is the most preferred oxidizer because after it is spent water is its only remainder.
  • the peroxide is not completely spent in processing the hulls, as will typically be the case, so as to ensure full reduction of the organic material of the hulls, the remaining oxygen spontaneously evolves over a short period of time, which evolution may be accelerated by heating, mechanical agitation, electrolytic or various other known means. Accordingly the process disclosed herein is one that is very environmentally friendly.
  • the initial dosage of hydrogen peroxide (contained in an aqueous solution) of the preferred embodiment of the invention contains approximately 0.1 mole of hydrogen peroxide (about 3.4 grams of peroxide) per kilogram of hulls. It is noted that increasing the temperature of such solution speeds the effect it has on the hulls. Maintaining the temperature of said solution in the 90-100°C range, over a course of 6-8 hours, has been MMiifflflef ⁇ tfCflsilg a temperature in excess of 100°C will require the use of a pressure vessel. While reduction is possible to at least room temperature or below, it is noted that decreased temperature tends to increase time required for reduction exponentially thus, while comprehended, is not preferred. Initial dosage of hydrogen peroxide may be substantially less, so long as during reduction monitoring is had to insure that at least some non-reacted peroxide remains in solution for a sufficient period of time to accomplish desired reduction of the organic materials of the hulls.
  • the hulls may be thoroughly rinsed with water and are preferably then dried to a water content of 10% or less water content by weight.
  • Rinsing the hulls, if done, should be done with as pure a water as is practical, such as de-ionized or even distilled water, with very low iron or heavy metal content, lest the rinse water itself contribute undesirable impurities to the silica.
  • Drying can be done by any conventional means, but drying with heated air is preferred since the process herein disclosed creates a readily available source of heat.
  • the hulls are next "burned" (combusted, or oxidized, by heat in the presence of an oxygenated gas).
  • the preferred temperature range at which the hulls are burned is from about 500-950°C. At temperatures substantially below that range the carbonaceous impurities of the hulls take an excessive length of time to oxidize fully, and at some point may not oxidize at all.
  • silica is stable, quite porous and insoluble in water and acids (except hydrogen fluoride), it can be further washed, rinsed, flushed with wide variety of acids and other solutions designed to remove particular impurities, such as calcium compounds, which remain following oxidation.
  • inventive rice hull derived silica abrasive compositions are ready-to-use additives in the preparation of oral cleaning compositions, such as dentifrices, toothpastes, and the like, particularly suited as a raw material in a toothpaste making process. If combined with other abrasives (such as any of the products offered by J.M.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des dentifrices uniques comprenant des matières abrasives uniques à base de silice biogénique. De telles compositions présentent d'excellentes caractéristiques abrasives, soit seules, soit en association avec d'autres types d'abrasifs. Dans de telles associations (avec des matières à base de silice précipitée, à titre d'exemple), des propriétés de nettoyage du film de pellicule élevées et des niveaux d'abrasion de la dentine modérés sont simultanément possibles afin de fournir à l'utilisateur un dentifrice qui nettoie efficacement la surface des dents sans l’abîmer par le brossage, même à de faibles niveaux de tels additifs à base de silice biogénique. De telles particules de silice biogénique confèrent ainsi étonnamment des propriétés avantageuses aux compositions de dentifrice. L'invention concerne également un procédé d'utilisation de tels produits à base de silice biogénique dans des dentifrices, soit en tant que composant abrasif majoritaire, soit en association avec n'importe quel autre type de matière abrasive communément utilisée.
