Abstract:
This invention relates to cleaning apparatus adapted for the application of cleaning compositions to a substrate and for the mixing of two or more precursors of a cleaning composition to provide a composition adapted for the removal of cellulose based gums adhered to a substrate, for example for the removal of chewing gum residues from pavements.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of removing chewing gum and residues thereof from substrates using chewing gum modifying compositions comprising oxidising reagents and one or more oxidation catalysts.
Abstract:
This invention relates to methods for removing chewing gum and residues thereof from substrates using chewing gum modifying compositions comprising ionic liquids. In one embodiment, the chewing gum modifying composition may be used together with one or more oxidising reagents. In another embodiment, the chewing gum removal compositions further comprise one or more enzymes and one or more enzyme mediator compounds. The invention further relates to novel ionic liquid and enzyme compositions that are suitable for use in removing chewing gum residues.
