ABSTRACT:
A dental hygiene product, and more particularly dental floss comprising a fiber having a core of a segmented polymer. The segments of the polymer are a combination of soft segments, preferably of polyether or polyester type, and of hard segments selected from a group consisting of polyurethane, polyamide, polyimide, and a mixture thereof. The content in hard segments is 5-40% of the polymer by weight. The dental floss of this invention is characterized by exceptionally robust elastic properties, which are necessary to ensure effective and efficient cleaning of teeth.
