Disclosed are improved denture adhesive compositions containing a hydrophobically modified water-soluble polymer alone or admixed with an alkali metal salt of carboxymethyl cellulose having a D.S. of at least 0.3. Hydrophobically modified hydroxyalkyl celluloses and copolymers of ethylene oxide and long chain epoxyalkanes are preferred as the water-soluble polymer.

Denture adhesive composition

Tape joint cement compositions suitable for use with wallboard are disclosed wherein at least one hydroxypropylhydroxyethylcellulose having specified substitution levels is employed as the water retention aid and thickener. Blends of hydroxypropylhydroxyethylcellulose with (a) at least one cellulose ether, such as, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, methylcellulose, methylhydroxyethylcellulose, and methylhydroxypropylcellulose or (b) a hydroxyalkylguar, such as hydroxypropylguar and hydroxyethylguar are also disclosed.

Tape joint cement composition

Improvements in ceramic wall and floor tile mortars are effected by incorporating therein at least one hydroxypropylhydroxyethylcellulose having specified substitution levels as a water retention aid or thickener.

Tile mortars

Joint cement compositions containing mica and quaternary compounds

Improvements in ceramic wall and floor tiles are effected by incorporating therein as a water retention aid phenyl hydroxyethyl cellulose-hydroxyethyl cellulose, benzyl hydroxyethyl cellulose or ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose having specified substitution levels.

Tile cements

This invention relates to a golf tee composed of water-soluble thermoplastic material and dispersed therein from about 1 to about 30% by weight, based on the weight of the golf tee, of a fertilizer and to a method of producing said golf tee by injection molding.
