JP5964578B2 - Antibacterial / antifungal composition and wet wiper impregnated with the composition - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to an antibacterial / antifungal composition that is excellent in safety and suppresses microbial contamination of the surroundings, and a wet wiper impregnated with the composition.

  As this kind of composition, a plurality of inventions (techniques) are known. As the first conventional technique, for example, 3-iodo-2-propynyl-N-butyl carbamate as a first component, polyhexamethylene piguanide hydrochloride and / or p-hydroxybenzoates as a second component An antibacterial composition containing the above-mentioned composition, which is added to a wet wiper base paper such as a paper towel, wet tissue, towel, or wipe sheet (see Patent Document 1).

  This composition is stable for a long period of time, imparts excellent antibacterial properties, controls microorganisms, and provides wet wipes having a strong antibacterial power that has been insufficient in the past alone.

  Further, as a second known prior art, a quaternary ammonium salt described in cosmetic standards, such as benzalkonium chloride, benzotonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, suaryltrimethylammonium chloride, and cetylpyridinium chloride. Of these, a combination of two or more kinds of wet towels / wet tissues with antibacterial and antifungal effects, or parabens described in cosmetic standards, methyl paraoxybenzoate, ethyl paraoxybenzoate, propyl paraoxybenzoate In addition, it is a hand towel / wet tissue having an antibacterial / antifungal effect, comprising at least one of butyl paraoxybenzoate (see Patent Document 2).

  This hand towel / wet tissue has the effect of suppressing the growth of fungi and mold when paper towels / wet tissues are stored weakly with a single component, and the synergistic effect of combining multiple components has brought about a sufficient effect. is there.

  Various chemicals have been used to prevent contamination by microorganisms such as fungi (molds, mushrooms, yeasts, etc.) and bacteria against wipes, wet tissue, paper towels and the like. However, since a single preparation tends to cause the appearance of resistant bacteria, antibacterial agents using various combinations of two or three components have been used. In the first prior art, a combination of a plurality of components following this is not only problematic in that the amount of the pharmaceutical component is large, but also has good antibacterial efficacy for hygienic wet wiper products. However, it does not have sufficient antifungal efficacy.

  In the second prior art, a combination of one, two, three or four kinds of drug components is tried, and the results are shown in Table 2 for E. coli and staphylococci. However, the antifungal efficacy of 1 to 3 species is not recognized, and 4 species are partially effective.

  In any case, in the prior art, in order to have a sufficient antifungal effect, there is a tendency to increase the amount of the combination of two-component and three-component drugs, and safety to human skin becomes a problem. There are many.

  Therefore, the development of a composition having a sufficient safety, antibacterial and antifungal efficacy even if it is a combination of two components and three components compared to the prior art, and the composition There is a problem to be solved in providing a wet wiper that uses the above.

Specific means for solving the problems described above, the first invention of the present invention includes a p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters of 0.2 to 0.3 wt% as a first component, 0.02 to as a first component 0.05% by weight of chlorhexidine gluconate, to contain and 0.05-0.1% by weight of polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride as the third component (PHMB), or as a second invention, the first The component of the invention contains 0.01 to 0.02% by weight of 3-iodo-2-propynyl-N-butylcarbamate (IPBC) as the fourth component , and a quaternary ammonium salt as the fifth component. The present invention provides an antibacterial and antifungal composition characterized by the above.

A third invention according to the present invention, that the claims claim 1 or any antifungal composition of 2, your towel, is U jet or impregnation kneading the wiper wet tissue or paper towel A wet wiper having the characteristics is provided.

  The antibacterial and antifungal composition according to the first invention of the present invention is a combination of at least three components, and the amount of each drug added is too much or too little, and the planned safety, antibacterial and antifungal properties Although the effect does not occur, by making the blending ratio within the set range, it has excellent safety and antibacterial and antifungal effects.

  In addition, the wet wiper according to the second invention has excellent safety and antibacterial and antifungal effects by kneading or impregnating the antibacterial and antifungal composition according to the first invention. Play.

  The antibacterial / antifungal composition according to the present invention comprises 0.2 to 0.3% by weight of paraoxybenzoates as a first component, and 0.02 to 0.05% by weight of chlorhexidine gluconate as a second component. And / or 0.05 to 0.1% by weight of polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride (PHMB) as the third component and / or 0.01 to 0.02% by weight of 3-iodo-2 as the fourth component. -Propinyl-N-butyl carbamate (IPBC) or a quaternary ammonium salt as the fifth component, which is a very excellent antibacterial / antifungal composition with good antibacterial activity even at low concentrations Wet wipes excellent in hygiene by applying impregnation treatment to wet wipes such as wipes, wet tissues and paper towels. It is possible to obtain.

  The active ingredient of the composition according to the present invention can be added to a wet wiper such as a wipe, wet tissue or paper towel. The activator and the like are not particularly limited, but it is preferable to select those that comply with cosmetic raw material standards from the viewpoint of safety to the human body. The shape (dosage form) as a preparation is not particularly limited. In the case of a liquid preparation, any of a water-soluble liquid agent, an oil-soluble liquid agent, an (aqueous or oil-based) O / W type emulsifier, and a blowable preparation may be used. In particular, by making the active ingredient into an O / W emulsifier in advance, it can be easily diluted with water to adjust to the required concentration, and has excellent stability after dilution, and the ingredients can be diffused uniformly.

Examples of the antibacterial / antifungal solubilizer used in the composition of the present invention include glycol-based solubilizers such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and propylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and diethylene glycol monoethyl. Examples include ethers, glycol ether-based solubilizers such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether, and water. Of these, glycol-based solubilizers, higher fatty acid ester-based solubilizers, and water are preferable.
These solubilizers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  A surfactant may or may not be used, and when used, any of a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, and a zwitterionic surfactant may be used. Nonionic surfactants include, for example, polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene styryl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester and the like, and cationic surfactant Examples of the agent include aliphatic amine salts and quaternary ammonium salts thereof, and examples of amphoteric surfactants include, but are not limited to, betaine surfactants and aminocarboxylates. These nonionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The composition according to the present invention can be used in combination with oil phase components, fats and oils, higher alcohols, fatty acids, active ingredients, moisturizing ingredients, fragrances and the like that are generally used in cosmetics.

Examples of the active ingredient include aloe extract, peach leaf extract, tea extract, rose extract, kumazasa leaf extract, acerola extract, placenta extract, tocopherol acetate and the like.
