CLEANING IMPLEMENT COMPRISING A MODIFIED OPEN-CELL FOAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18532857 titled 'CLEANING IMPLEMENT COMPRISING A MODIFIED OPEN-CELL FOAM
Simplified Explanation
The present invention relates to a cleaning implement that includes a melamine-formaldehyde foam. The foam contains at least one linear polymer with a number average molecular weight in the range from 500 to 10,000 g/mol.
- Melamine-formaldehyde foam cleaning implement
- Contains 0.1 to 5 weight % of linear polymer
- Polymer has a number average molecular weight from 500 to 10,000 g/mol
- Processes for making and methods for cleaning hard surfaces with the implement
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in household cleaning products, industrial cleaning supplies, and janitorial services.
Problems Solved
This technology provides an effective and efficient way to clean hard surfaces without the need for harsh chemicals.
Benefits
- Environmentally friendly cleaning solution - Reduced exposure to harmful chemicals - Improved cleaning performance
Potential Commercial Applications
"Melamine-Formaldehyde Foam Cleaning Implement: Commercial Applications"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing melamine foam cleaning products on the market, but the addition of a linear polymer with specific molecular weight ranges may be a novel improvement.
