Description

  The present invention relates to a gel-like molded body assembly that contains a plurality of gel-like molded bodies and that prevents leakage of liquid from the gel-like molded bodies.

  Gels are useful as a base for volatilizing fragrance components and deodorant components, and conventionally, gel-like fragrance / deodorants have been widely used. Conventionally, a gel-like fragrance / deodorant is mainly composed of one block-like gel. On the other hand, the aggregate obtained by mixing a plurality of gel-shaped bodies of a predetermined shape has the advantage that the appearance is good and the design effect is excellent, and the gel surface area exposed to the space is increased. The advantageous effect that volatilization of the component can be promoted is expected. Therefore, in recent years, attention has been paid to aroma / deodorant which is a form of an aggregate of gel-like molded bodies.

Conventionally, absorbent resins such as nonionic polyalkylene oxide water-absorbing resins, alkene-maleic anhydride copolymers, and cross-linked polyacrylates are generally used for the production of gel-like molded articles. However, when an aggregate of gel-like molded bodies prepared using these absorbent resins is used as a deodorant or fragrance, the following problems arise:
(1) When a gel-like molded body is formed into an aggregate, the gel-shaped molded body present in the lower layer portion may be significantly deformed or damaged due to the weight of the gel-shaped molded body present in the upper layer portion of the aggregate. Therefore, the gel-like molded body used as an aggregate is required to have a high gel strength and excellent shape stability. However, the above water-absorbent resin is not always satisfactory in terms of shape stability.
(2) The above-described absorbent resin has a drawback that its water absorption capacity (capability to absorb water) or water retention capacity (capability to retain absorbed water) is insufficient. Therefore, when the aggregate of gel-like molded bodies is accommodated in the container, liquid may leak from the inside of the gel-like molded body existing in the lower layer part due to the weight of the gel-like molded body present in the upper layer part of the aggregate. is there. As a result, in the lower layer portion of the aggregate of gel-like molded bodies, liquid and gel-like molded bodies are mixed, and the shape of each gel-like molded body cannot be visually recognized, and the design based on the shape of each gel-like molded body The effect is impaired. In addition, if the liquid is not sufficiently retained in the gel-like molded product, the liquid leaked from the gel molded product may overflow outside the container, so it can be accommodated only in a container with a volatilization opening only at the top. In addition, the shape of the container is also limited.

  Against the background of such prior art, even if a collection of gel-like compacts is stacked and accommodated in a container, the deformation of the gel-like compact or gel-like in the lower layer portion of the aggregate of gel-like compacts in the container It has been desired to develop a technique that can suppress leakage of the liquid contained in the molded body and maintain a stable state of the aggregate of gel-shaped molded bodies in the container for a long period of time.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art. Specifically, an object of the present invention is an aggregate of gel-like molded articles containing a functional component, and the gel-shaped molded article prepared using an acrylamide-acrylate copolymer is contained in a container. An object of the present invention is to provide a gel-like molded product assembly that is stable without leaking liquid.

  The present inventor has intensively studied to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, the deformation and breakage of individual gel-like molded bodies existing in the lower layer portion of the aggregate of gel-like molded bodies is suppressed, and the shape is stably maintained. It has been found that an acrylamide-acrylate copolymer is useful as a water-absorbing resin that makes it possible. Furthermore, although (i) a gel-like molded body prepared using an acrylamide-acrylate copolymer (hereinafter referred to as “(i) gel-like molded body”) exhibits excellent water retention, it is in use. It was confirmed that there was a tendency to leak the liquid contained in the gel-like molded product. Therefore, it is further selected from the group consisting of (i) a gel-like molded article and (ii) a nonionic polyalkylene oxide water-absorbing resin, an alkene-maleic anhydride copolymer, and a polyacrylate cross-linked product. Combined with a gel-like molded body prepared by using at least one kind (hereinafter referred to as “(ii) gel-shaped molded body”) to form an aggregate of gel-like molded bodies, and accommodated in a container Even in this case, there is no deformation of the individual gel-like compacts or leakage of the liquid contained in the gel-like compacts from the upper part to the lower part of the aggregate of the gel-like compacts.
