Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention comprises a mixed composition of a perfume, an alcoholic organic solvent and a nonionic surfactant, and a mixed composition of a super absorbent resin, and the use thereof. The present invention relates to a gel-like fragrance composition in which the gel-like fragrance can be easily adjusted by putting it in a container of one's liking and adding water, and is used in a room, a toilet and the like.

[Prior Art] Aromatic deodorants for indoor and toilet use various organic and inorganic compounds as thickening gelling agents in order to maintain their dosage form. For example, as organic compounds, metal soaps, polysaccharides such as agar and carrageenan, and as inorganic compounds, various clay minerals such as montmorillonite and silica, etc. are appropriately used depending on the purpose of thickening gelation. All of these are commercially available in the form of gel fragrances manufactured by the manufacturer, filled in a certain container to prevent volatilization and drying of the fragrance, and sealed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] For example, an aroma agent containing a fragrance in agar or carrageenan solidifies the surface during use to form an agar or carrageenan film, and the volatilization of the fragrance becomes poor. In addition, there is a drawback that a water separation phenomenon occurs during storage, and water spills when opening the bag to stain clothes and the like.

Also, on the manufacturer side, it is said that consumers can not put it in their favorite container and use it because it is filled in a certain container and sold on the market, and it can not be placed in the room or toilet with their own interior feeling There are drawbacks.

The present inventors can easily obtain a gel fragrance by adding water to a mixed composition of a perfume, an alcoholic organic solvent and a combination of a nonionic surfactant and a super absorbent polymer, It has been found that the above drawbacks are eliminated.

In the gel-like aromatic agent of the present invention, the surface of the gel body was not solidified even when it was used, and the fragrance was volatilized with a certain strength.

Since the present invention is composed of an aroma composition and a super absorbent resin, no water separation phenomenon occurs during storage.

The present invention is a gel-like fragrance composition in which a consumer puts a mixture of a fragrance composition and a superabsorbent resin into a container of his or her preference, and a gel-like fragrance is immediately formed by adding water. Can be placed indoors.

In addition, we investigated whether we could combine a highly water-absorbent resin and a fragrance.

That is, a gel fragrance can be easily obtained by adding water to a mixture of the fragrance holding carrier and the fragrance.

The technology found in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. Sho 61-22583 appears to be a convenient fragrance because a gel fragrance can be obtained by the consumer simply adding water to the powder composition for gel fragrance. It has a fatal defect.

For the powder composition for gel fragrance as seen in the examples
Adding 50 to 100 times the amount of water means that even if the fragrance component in the gel fragrance composition is calculated as 100%, the amount of fragrance component in the obtained gel fragrance composition is at most 1% to 2%. Only a weakly scented fragrance is obtained, which deviates from the original purpose of the fragrance to enjoy the scent.

Furthermore, even if the manufacturer once asked to add 50 to 100 times the amount of water to the gel fragrance powder composition, if one is powder and the other is water, weight conversion is difficult,
If it is in the range of 10 times, it can be adjusted as a consumer, but 50
Adjustment is quite difficult with ~ 100 times the amount.

Since the present invention is a gel-like fragrance composition comprising an fragrance composition and a superabsorbent resin, the amount of the fragrance compounded in the fragrance composition can be freely changed within the range of 1 to 99% by weight. Since only half to 10 times the amount of water is added to the liquid mixture composition of the super absorbent resin, the consumer can easily adjust it,
The present invention has been completed.

[Means for Solving Problems] The present invention is a mixed composition of an aroma composition comprising a combination of a fragrance, an alcoholic organic solvent and a nonionic surfactant and a super absorbent resin, wherein the aroma composition and the super absorbent water are provided. The ratio of the water-soluble resin is preferably 100 parts by weight to 0.1 to 50 parts by weight, and when the amount of the superabsorbent resin is 0.1 part or less, it takes time to gel when water is added, and when it is 50 parts or more, it immediately becomes. Although gelation occurs, the surface of the gel is not beautiful, so it is preferable to combine in the range of 0.5 to 40 parts. The fragrance in the present invention may be of any type, and examples thereof include all fragrances of hydrocarbon type having low polarity to alcohol type having high polarity.

The type of alcohol-based organic solvent is methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, 1.3 butylene glycol, 3-methyl-3-.
Methoxybutanol, 3-methyl-1.3-butanediol and the like can be mentioned.

The nonionic surfactant may be any one as long as it can disperse, emulsify and solubilize the fragrance. For example, sorbitan ester, P.I. O. E. Sorbitan ester, P.I. O. E. Alcohol ether, P.I. O. E. Alkyl ether,
P. O. E. Castor oil derivatives and the like can be mentioned.
