Patent ID: 8636982

Claim:
A foamable emulsion composition comprising: A. a carrier comprising: a. a liquid wax comprising at least one fatty acid or at least one fatty alcohol; b. a stabilizer component comprising a non ionic surface-active agent; c. water; and d. more than 7% by weight of a solid wax of the carrier selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid, a fatty alcohol, a microcrystalline wax, a paraffin wax, a petroleum wax, a polyethylene wax, beeswax, candelilla wax, castor wax, Chinese wax, Fischer-Tropsch wax, rice bran wax, tallow, wool wax and mixtures thereof; and B. a liquefied hydrocarbon gas propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 35% by weight of the foamable emulsion composition; wherein, when the liquid wax comprises at least one fatty acid, the fatty acid is present in the composition at a concentration of more than 35% or about 35% by weight of the carrier; wherein, when the liquid wax comprises at least one fatty alcohol, the fatty alcohol is present in the composition at a concentration of more than 12% or about 12% by weight of the carrier; wherein the liquid wax enables the solid wax to solubilize; wherein the composition is substantially free from crystals and is sufficiently flowable; wherein the carrier being otherwise free of polymeric agent; and wherein, upon release from a pressurized container, a breakable foam is produced.
