- Title:cellulose sponge replacement - HCDC 2Contact Info:email:Summary:New Foam Sponge Technology - Replace CelluloseDescribe the technology:
Open cell polyurethane foam that does wipe dry and absorb as much liquid as a cellulose sponge plus so many other benefits, i.e., no odor, stay clean & brighter longer. Mfgers have been trying to develop a foam that would compete against cellulose for many years, Crest has finally created a foam sponge that works and it doesn't require felting or a secondary process. Right now the only U.S. mfger of cellulose is 3M which is also a competitor of all other consumer companies.
Is there a working sample?:YesActionability:Foam Trial has been run twice and passes wipe dry and absorption property against cellulose.
Describe how Clorox could use this technology:Replace cellulose sponges with 3M cellulose that Clorox currently markets.
- Title:Actack - a self-cohesive foamContact Info:email:Summary:Self-cohesive foamDescribe the technology:
Actack is a self-cohesvie foam and will adhere to a flat smooth surface (without sticky adhesive).
The adhesion property is in the structure of the foam, similar to a suction cup. Superior light resistance.
Could be used for an anti-slipping application, etc.
Describe how Clorox could use this technology:Unsure of how Clorox may be able to utilize this technology but found it very interesting. Possibly add a fragrance and place inside cat litter box. The foam is unusual and could trigger new ideas in R&D.
