SHEAR-THINNING, DISPENSABLE LIQUID ABRASIVE CLEANSER WITH IMPROVED SOIL REMOVAL, RINSEABILITY AND PHASE STABILITY

摘要

An improved liquid abrasive cleanser is described that shows greatly improved soil removal performance along with improved rinsing characteristics. The improved cleanser is comprised of abrasives, at least one surfactant, an associative polymer thickener, a pH adjusting agent and water. The compositions of the present invention show pseudo-plastic rheology in that they shear thin upon dispensing through a bottle closure, but re-thicken on hard surfaces to provide vertical cling.
