Description

  Fabric enhancers are well known as a unique consumer product category with unique challenges related to formulation and packaging. Such products generally contain perfume and are sold in packages such as bottles from which the product is dispensed through a relatively wide mouth spout. Consumers generally desire a clean and refreshing scent every time they open a package and smell the product, after the wash and / or dry cycle is complete, and in the washed garments stored for some time.

  Perfumed fabric improvers still have a number of drawbacks. For example, perfumes are complex mixtures of expensive ingredients, often chemically reactive or incompatible with fabric enhancers. This can adversely affect both the perfume and the substances with which the perfume interacts. Furthermore, these compatibility issues can be much greater than those encountered with technically simpler cleaning products such as toilet bowl cleaners, automatic dishwashing products, shampoos or dishwashing agents. In particular, shampoo and dishwashing products are sold in packages with restrictive orifices through which the product is squeezed, and thus have large openings through which consumers can smell the product. Absent.

  The fabric enhancer component may contain certain components with an undesirable odor, and the fabric enhancer contains a series of challenging agents that make it difficult to stabilize the perfume. Furthermore, the majority of the expensive perfume can be “spilled into the drain” and lost when the product is used to process clothes in an automatic washing machine. Furthermore, the scent of the fragrance on the cleaned or treated substrate must last long. Finally, the fabric enhancer must have an overall perfume character that is acceptable to the consumer.

  Therefore, what is needed is an improved perfume impression when opening the package, improved use of perfume ingredients, better compatibility between perfume and fabric enhancer, while using the product Better perfume impression of laundered fabrics at various points in time, the ability to incorporate various state-of-the-art auxiliaries, and effectively any malodor of commonly available fabric enhancer materials A fabric enhancer that provides the ability to control.

  These requirements are intended to satisfy consumers with respect to the olfactory characteristics of the perfume they seek in the particular context of fabric washing and manufacturing when the packaging and fabric enhancer components are assembled into products to be sold. Must be met in a manner that does not increase the complexity of the system.

  In one aspect, the present invention is a fabric enhancer product comprising: (a) a package comprising (1) a container; and (2) a closure; and (b) a material that can be dispensed from the package with the fabric enhancer. A fabric enhancer comprising: (1) a perfume composition that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer, (2) a fabric care additive, and (3) any combination thereof, A fabric improver product comprising: a fabric improver selected from: (c) a head space; and (d) a perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric improver. Has a pH of less than about 7.

  One aspect of the present invention is a fabric enhancer product comprising: (a) a package comprising (1) a container; and (2) a closure; (b) at least one fabric care additive; A fabric enhancer comprising a substance that can be dispensed with the enhancer, wherein the substance is (1) a perfume composition that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer, (2) a fabric care additive, ( 3) Fragrance microcapsule, and (4) A combination of any of these, a fragrance that cannot be co-poured with a fabric improver, (c) headspace, and (d) a fabric enhancer. A fabric enhancer product comprising the composition.

  Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the present invention maximizes the efficiency of the perfume contained within the container while delivering the perfume to the consumer at at least four significant times. The consumer is provided with a perfume when opening the container at the first critical moment. The consumer is provided with a fragrance at the second critical moment after the washing cycle is complete. Finally, the consumer is provided with a fragrance at the third critical moment after storage of the garment as well as while the garment is being worn.

  There are demands by consumers desiring second and third critical moment experiences, such as scents from dryers and odors of dry fabrics. However, some consumers want the dry fabric odor to last up to a week, but not longer. For consumers who want to control the odor intensity of such early dry fabrics, surprisingly, these scent experiences have resulted in perfume microcapsule and amine assisted delivery system concentrations, high molecular amines and free perfume. If selected to be greater than about 0.4 and less than about 25, and even greater than about 0.4 and less than 5, low, even zero, free or neat fragrance It has been found that this can be achieved by formulating a fabric enhancer having a concentration. In another embodiment, such fabric enhancer compositions also include a perfume that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer.

  There is also a demand by consumers who want a third critical moment of experience to last longer, for example, that their dry fabrics have a stronger scent intensity for longer than a week. Surprisingly, this scent experience blends microencapsules and polymeric amines and free fragrances with fabric enhancers for consumers who want to gain dry fabric odor intensity for longer periods of time. It has been found that this can be achieved. Surprisingly, increasing the polymeric amine concentration far beyond 1% results in a decrease in the odor performance of the dry fabric. More surprisingly, it has been found that a ratio of polymeric amine to free perfume greater than 0.030 and less than 0.40 provides the desired dry fabric sustainability experience.

  Without being bound by theory, the selected ratio of polymeric amine to free perfume may provide an appropriate balance between perfume deposition and perfume release. Ratios outside the scope of the present invention may lead to perfume being more suppressed and released in a timely manner.

  Surprisingly, the total polymer concentration of all polymers having a molecular weight greater than 1.7E-21 g (1000 Daltons) in a perfume composition that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer, and the fabric enhancer, It has also been found that the ratio of perfume in a perfume composition that can be co-poured out is an important factor in achieving the perfume scent persistence desired by the consumer. In one embodiment, the ratio of total polymer to free perfume is about 0.02 to about 3.0%, in another embodiment about 0.10 to about 2.0%, in another embodiment about 0. .20 to about 1.0%.

A perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with a fabric enhancer The fabric enhancer product comprises a perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with a fabric enhancer. A perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with a fabric enhancer suitable for use herein is for the sustained release of volatile materials described in WO 2005/049717. And a polymer composition. In addition to any fragrance or malodor that can enter the headspace by volatilization from the fabric enhancer (if such substances are present in the fabric enhancer), the fragrance composition cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer. The object provides an effective technique to diffuse the perfume throughout the headspace. In one embodiment, a polymeric composition associated with a perfume composition that is not co-pourable with a fabric enhancer for sustained release is considered a polymer assisted delivery (PAD) matrix system.

  In certain embodiments, the release of perfume from the perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer is passive.

  As used herein, the term “passive” is intended to encompass the release route of a perfume composition, such as by diffusion, that does not require user intervention. In contrast, an “active” release route includes a squeezing or twisting action of a perfume from a suitable medium such as, but not limited to, a perfume composition to release. Requires action by. With passive release, in one embodiment, the release rate of the perfume composition remains unchanged even when subjected to closure or shaking of the package. That is, rapid and / or intermittent release of the perfume composition is not the primary mechanism of release.

  In certain embodiments, the composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer is attached to the inner portion of the package, provided that the perfume composition is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer. Is meltable, the coextractable perfume composition with the fabric enhancer has a pouring temperature that is at least about 5 ° C, at least about 10 ° C, or even at least about 15 ° C higher than the ambient storage temperature. .

  A perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer may be placed in a container, transition component, closure, or any combination thereof. The perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is a ring, an annular disk, a circle, a square, a rectangle, or a space in which the perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is to be incorporated. It may be formed into any of a variety of shapes, including any other shape suitable for that shape. In certain embodiments, the perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer is in a transition component of the package or in an element that forms a self-draining dispensing orifice rather than a cap or closure. Be placed.

  In certain embodiments, the perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer has a size that is larger than the exit of the package and is adsorbed or attached to a solid that can float in the fabric enhancer. However, when the perfume compositions are meltable, their pouring temperature is at least 5 ° C. higher than the ambient storage temperature. In certain such embodiments, the perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer is in the form of a hollow sphere, but the perfume composition is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer. May be any suitable shape, including but not limited to sheet, star, flower, disc, rectangle, square, or any other shape, hollow or solid, A perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is dimensioned to be larger than the package exit and can float in the fabric enhancer. In certain embodiments, it may be advantageous for the perfume composition that is transparent in the package and not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer to be any one of a number of shapes and / or colors. is there. In certain embodiments, perfume compositions that are not co-pourable with a fabric enhancer may have one or more colors. In certain embodiments, the package may contain one or more perfume compositions that are not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer. In addition, perfume compositions that are not co-pourable with fabric enhancers may be attached directly or indirectly to package components. For example, the indirect attachment method allows a scented hot melt adhesive to harden on a thin plastic film, such as an HDPE film, which is then bonded to the package element using a separate adhesive material such as adhesive tape. Is. Therefore, the tackiness of a perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with a fabric enhancer is not always important.

  In certain embodiments, the perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer comprises a perfume and a polymer composition, and in one embodiment when the fabric enhancer has been used, or The fabric enhancer so that there is still a detectable amount of perfume in the perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer when only the remaining amount of fabric enhancer remains in the container. A perfume composition that cannot be co-poured has the ability to release the perfume over a long period of time, i.e., at a relatively constant release rate. In certain such preferred embodiments, the perfume release of the perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is substantially unchanged even when repeatedly contacted with the fabric enhancer. In other words, the fabric enhancer itself does not self-extract the fragrance from the fragrance composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer.

  Unless otherwise indicated, the phrase “polymer composition” herein refers to a thermoplastic polymer composition that can be used to deliver perfume in a perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with a fabric enhancer. . The term “polymer composition” as used herein is different from packaging plastic. In one embodiment, the “polymer composition” has a softening temperature that is at least about 10 ° C. lower than the softening temperature of the packaging plastic used for bottle manufacture, but is not dispensed at a temperature of at least about 35 ° C. without the addition of perfume. It remains possible.

  In certain embodiments, the perfume of the perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer is released by diffusion into the headspace. In certain such embodiments, perfume compositions that are not co-pourable with a fabric enhancer may optionally be separated from the fabric enhancer by a permeable liner element, although such elements Is not required. In certain such embodiments, the liner is permeable to the perfume material but not the fabric enhancer. In general, perfume compositions that are not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer can be brought into contact with the fabric enhancer.

  In general, the ratio by weight of the perfume composition and the fabric improver that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer can vary widely, for example, perfume products containing the fabric enhancer up to about 3 kg. In order to achieve this, co-pouring with about 0.01 g to about 2 g, in another embodiment about 0.05 g to about 1 g, and in another embodiment 0.1 g to about 0.8 g of fabric enhancer is not necessary. A possible perfume composition is sufficient.

  In certain embodiments, the perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer comprises from about 1 wt% to about 80 wt%, and in one embodiment about 10 wt% to about 60 wt% of the perfume. . In certain such embodiments, the balance of the composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer comprises a thermoplastic polymer, a plasticizer, a tackifier, or any combination thereof.

  If the product as a whole contains both a fragrance composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer and a fragrance composition that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer, co-pouring with the fabric enhancer The weight ratio of the perfume in the possible perfume composition to the perfume in the perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is about 0: 1 to about 1: 0.

  The product as a whole includes both a perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer and a perfume composition that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer, the sum of which is the total When considered 100% of the fragrance, the effective amount of the fragrance composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is as small as about 0.001% by weight of the total fragrance in the product, more typically May be from about 0.01 to about 3% by weight (ie, up to 3 / 100th by weight).

  In other embodiments, a suitable amount of the composition that can be unscented with the fabric enhancer and cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer comprises 100% by weight of the total perfume. Will do.

  In certain preferred embodiments, the perfume composition that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is up to about 0.1% of the perfume raw material of the fabric entity, and in one embodiment up to about 50%. The form may constitute up to about 100%.

  In certain embodiments, for example, by reducing the concentration of perfume that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer to less than about 20%, less than about 10%, or even less than about 1% of the total perfume in the product, It may be advantageous to minimize the amount of perfume that can be co-poured with fabric enhancers that may be susceptible to interaction with other fabric enhancer components. In certain such embodiments, it may be advantageous to encapsulate a perfume that can be co-poured with a fabric enhancer within a polyamine shell.

  Suitable polymer compositions can effectively deliver a wide variety of perfumes in a wide polar range, or even better adhere to plastic packaging construction materials such as high density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene. Suitable polymer compositions may further comprise additives that allow a very precise adjustment of their polar characteristics. This makes it possible to maximize compatibility with any perfume that can be introduced into the plasticized polymer matrix, thereby providing a polymer composition according to the invention. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that a specific polarity match between the plasticized polymer matrix and the perfume is necessary to provide good incorporation and sustained supply of the perfume.

  In certain embodiments, the polymer composition may be formed into a material selected from a film, sheet, foam, or adhesive. In certain embodiments, the polymer composition is formed into an adhesive, in one embodiment, a solidified hot melt adhesive.

  The perfume composition that is not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer may be attached to the package using any suitable method. In certain such embodiments, the surface of the package to which the perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is first subjected to a local roughening treatment. Such a method of local roughening is well known in the art, for example, by rubbing an essentially smooth packaging plastic.

  In certain embodiments, suitable polymer compositions can be formulated as hot melt adhesives having a low application temperature, in one embodiment, less than about 100 ° C., and in some cases less than about 70 ° C. This is a particularly desirable property for materials used to incorporate perfume, as the higher the processing temperature, the greater the risk of losing a significant amount of the perfume that is incorporated during the manufacture of the composition by evaporation. Furthermore, higher application or processing temperatures may increase safety hazards associated with processing the polymer composition. Examples of suitable hot melt adhesives can be found in US Pat. No. 6,084,010 and US Pat. No. 5,827,913.

  Solidified and scented hot melt adhesives can be produced by treating a thermoplastic resin with a fragrance at a processing temperature of less than about 85 ° C. to form a homogeneous mixture. In certain such embodiments, the thermoplastic resin is added to the fluid containing the fragrance. Accordingly, a method for producing a solidified and scented hot melt adhesive includes the step of treating a thermoplastic resin with a fragrance at a processing temperature of less than about 85 ° C. to form a homogeneous mixture.

The resulting melt can then be dispersed in water by mixing at a temperature above its melting point and the resulting emulsion or dispersion can be obtained using surfactants and / or stabilizing systems known to those skilled in the art. The liquid can be stabilized.

  In certain alternative embodiments, a preformed aqueous polymer dispersion or emulsion can be blended with selected plasticizers and perfumes. This can be accomplished by adding the ingredients directly to the polymer dispersion or emulsion or by forming an aqueous dispersion of perfume and plasticizer and blending it with the polymer dispersion or emulsion, for example. Both procedures result in the formation of an aqueous dispersion of the polymer composition. The water can then be removed by evaporation.

  Alternatively, the copolymer can be formed directly in the aqueous dispersion in the presence of a plasticizer and / or fragrance. This process may involve dissolving or dispersing the monomer or prepolymer in water containing the dispersed perfume and / or plasticizer, followed by initiation to form a polymer dispersion. Alternatively, if necessary, perfume or plasticizer can be added later to produce a dispersed polymer composition.

  Because of its rheology and its adhesive properties, the polymer composition is particularly useful for being applied in a molten state on a selected substrate and adhering directly to the substrate. They can be applied to the inner surface of the container at a suitable location, for example, to suitably improve the headspace in the container by releasing perfume and to create a perfumed headspace. Such release is “passive”. That is, no human intervention or physical displacement is required. In certain embodiments, application to the inner surface of the container may be performed during manufacture of the container. The polymer composition may be applied using any suitable hot melt delivery system. These systems typically include a melting unit that maintains a hot melt at a temperature that provides a processable viscosity material. The melting unit typically includes a pumping system that can pump the hot melt through a hose until the hot melt reaches the glue gun or nozzle. The nozzle can have different geometries depending on the desired application form of the adhesive (coating, stripes, beads, etc.). In an exemplary embodiment, a slot nozzle can be used as the glue gun.

  The term “substantially soluble” as applied to materials such as perfume compositions that are not co-pourable with fabric enhancers or preferred scented hot melt adhesive compositions herein refers to It means that at least about 80%, and in one embodiment at least about 90% of the total amount of material to be dissolved in the total amount of fabric enhancer present in the container.

Olfactory characteristics of a perfume composition that cannot be co-poured with a fabric enhancer In certain embodiments, the neat product odor (NPO) of the fabric enhancer is, for example, an “olfactory scent” olfaction It would be advantageous to have a good “clean / refreshing laundry” olfactory connotation different from connotations. This is due to the fact that consumers are more likely to expect that the NPO of the product should serve as a predictor of the expected odor of the consumer laundry washed with the product. It is considered to be. In other words, in consumer sentiment, the selection of olfactory features matches the desired end use.

  Thus, preferably, perfumes that are not co-pourable with the fabric enhancer herein are focused on volatile perfume raw materials (PRM) and are “residual” or “ It should be formulated as a laundry perfume, with less focus on the PRM called “persistent”. (The reverse is also true for perfume compositions that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer described further below).

  PRMs suitable for use in perfumes that cannot be co-poured with fabric enhancers include: aldehydic, such as methylnonyl acetaldehyde, decyl aldehyde, or laurin aldehyde; Floral such as hexyl salicylate, benzyl acetate, or peonile; citrus such as orange oil, lemon oil, lemonile, gernyl nitrile, or dihydromyrsenol; frutene or Fruity, such as floracetate; green, such as undecavertol, methylphenylcarbinyl acetate, β, γ-hexenol, or tripral; isoE super, methyl cedrilone (methyl) cedrylone), or woody such as patchouli; or musky such as havanolide or galaxolide, but is not limited thereto.

  Furthermore, since the fragrance that cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer tends to “bear” the scent of the entire product, the fragrance itself that preferably cannot be co-poured with the fabric enhancer is preferably It should contain a fully formulated fragrance, unlike a simpler “accord” that blends with the odor.

  The term “substantially insoluble” as applied to materials such as perfume compositions that cannot be co-poured with fabric enhancers, or the preferred flavored hot melt adhesive compositions herein, refers to It means that less than about 20%, in one embodiment less than about 10%, of the total amount of material dissolved is dissolved in the total amount of fabric enhancer present in the container.

  As used herein, “residual amount” includes up to about 5% by weight of the original amount, in one embodiment up to about 3% by weight, and in one embodiment up to about 1% by weight. Is intended.

  In other embodiments, a perfume composition that can be co-poured with a fabric enhancer comprises a mixture of a liquid perfume formulation and an amino or polyamino functional compound, optionally pre-mixed with the liquid perfume. These uses of polyamino or polyimine compounds to improve perfume fabric adhesion herein are collectively referred to as “amine assisted fragrance delivery matrix”, or in other words, “amine assisted fragrance”, or another term. In this context, the term “amine assisted delivery system” is used, or in other words “amine-polymer-assisted delivery system”, or in other words “APAD system”. In another embodiment, the polyamino or polyimine compound is added separately from the perfume composition that can be co-poured with the fabric enhancer.
