agent improves the stability of the compositions method 4 measure of the time required for the tissue paper onto which the foam is applied to tear under a mechanical stress strength of the paper several sheets i e 2 or 3 sheets of toilet paper 4 are fixed on a 53 mm diameter cylindrical container 13 with a rubber band not represented so as to have an evenly distributed voltage a dose of foam 8 is sprayed onto the top sheet at a distance of between 30 and 60 mm with an angle of between 45 and 90 u00b0 from the vertical a cylindrical weight 12 having a diameter of 20 mm a height of 21 5 mm and a weight of 50 g is placed on the sheet this is illustrated in fig5 at the same time a chronometer is started when the sheet 4 is torn by the action of weight 12 and liquid the chronometer is stopped and the time required by the liquid to tear the several sheets is noted it appears from these results that under mechanical stress the time required for superposed sheets of the toilet paper onto which the foam is applied to tear is more than two times less than the time required for superposed sheets of the toilet paper onto which comparative compositions no 3 and aaah u00ae without a gelling agent are applied to tear compositions nos 55 and 60 according to embodiments of the invention were prepared in a conventional manner for example by simple admixture of components at room temperature 20 u00b0 c 5.
