ICPA Health Clinsodent Powder (60g) 10 Pack

Active ingredients:
Potassium persulphate, Sodium perborate

Inactive ingredients:
Sodium carbonate, Sodium sulphate, Trisodium phosphate, Sulphamic acid, Tetra Potassium Pyro Phosphate, EDTA, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Peppermint powder etc.

Purpose of individual ingredients:

The peroxygen compounds:
The per oxygen compounds like potassium persulfate, sodium perborate monohydrate and sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate are those which yield active oxygen on admixture with water.

Alkalinity imparter:
Particularly suitable materials to provide the alkalinity of the composition are trisodium phosphate (a compound which in dilute aqueous solution, e.g. at 0.1-1% concentration, has a pH of 11.5-11.9)or sodium carbonate (whose dilute aqueous solutions have a pH which is generally above 11)

Sequestering agents:
Sequestering agents are added to maintain clarity and to promote calculus removal. Preferred sequestering agents include ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (“EDTA”). The EDTA may be present in amounts of above 1% to 25% by weight of the composition, preferably about 17% to about 23% by weight of the composition, and most preferably about 19% to 21% by weight of the composition. EDTA also plays a role as an anti-bacterial component.

Surfactant:
The Clinsodent powder also contains anionic surfactant, having a long hydrophobic alkyl chain (e.g. of about 8-20 carbon atoms) attached to a hydrophilic ionic portion such as sulphate or sultanate radical (e.g., sodium laurel sulcate) in amount sufficient to promote foaming.

Dilute Acid:
Dilute acids like Sulphamic acids are used for better cleansing action.

Plaque remover:
Tetra Potassium Pyro Phosphate plays a key role in removal of plaque.

Enzymatic action:
Clinosdent contains Everlase as a protelytic enzyme. The enzyme functions through the digestion of the human mucoprotein component of deposits.
