[0001] The present invention relates to the field of detergent technology, and more particularly to scented booster beads and methods for making same. [Background technology]
[0002] Scented booster beads have a fragrance-retaining function and contain essence and nano-microcapsules. When washing or wearing clothes, the essence and nano-microcapsules rub against each other, releasing the fragrance, so the washed clothes retain their fragrance. As a result, scented booster beads have attracted the attention of consumers and are widely used in the household cleaning industry.
[0003] When selling scented booster beads, the external color of the scented booster beads is one factor that affects the sales volume of the scented booster beads. To increase consumers' desire to purchase scented booster beads based on their external color, colorants are usually added to scented booster beads to make the scented booster beads have a bright color, which can support the sales of scented booster beads. However, conventional scented booster beads adjust their color by adding pigments to the molten raw material. However, because the added pigments adhere to the surface of the base material, when the molten raw material is cooled, the color of the bead body becomes brighter. brightness is usually less than 50%, Saturation This means that the beads themselves will become darker in color, lose their softness, and take on a plastic texture. brightness Increase the product Saturation In order to reduce the color of the bead body, in the prior art, when producing scented booster beads, a non-melting solid material is added to the raw material to increase the roughness of the particle surface. SaturationHowever, the scented booster beads produced by this manufacturing method have a noticeable rough surface, which can cause powder to fall off the bead body. When adjusting the color, adding the same dyes or pigments to various base materials can brightness , Saturation Although the color of the bead body can be adjusted slightly, it is difficult to obtain a bead body with a predetermined color. In other words, since the colors of the bead bodies produced are different, it is not possible to ensure consistency in the product and it is difficult to adjust the color.
[0004] Macaron color is acquired by the color of the Italian dessert, and its color has a pink hue and is less pure. brightness The high color gives the beads a pink texture, which is well-received by women. The majority of consumers who use scented booster beads are women. Conventional scented booster beads with a macaron-colored exterior are unavailable. This does not satisfy the demands of female consumers who prefer scented booster beads with a specific color.

[0019] The present invention provides scented booster beads and a method for manufacturing the same. In order to more clearly explain the objectives, technical aspects, and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail below with specific examples. It should be noted that the following specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, scented booster beads are provided. As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the scented booster beads have a macaron color appearance, so that the scented booster beads have a low Saturation (degree of saturation) and high brightness When the scented booster beads have a macaron-colored exterior, the hue of the bead body can be any one of red, yellow, and blue, or a secondary color formed by overlapping any two of red, yellow, and blue, or a composite color formed by mixing red, yellow, and blue in various proportions. When producing scented booster beads, in order to obtain a predetermined color, a predetermined pigment and coloring matter can be selected, and the selected pigment and coloring matter can be dispersed in the bead body so that the bead body has the predetermined color. When scented booster beads have a macaron-colored exterior, the hue of the scented booster beads can be any one of red, yellow, and blue, or a secondary color formed by overlapping any two of red, yellow, and blue, or a composite color formed by mixing red, yellow, and blue in various proportions. When producing scented booster beads, a predetermined pigment and coloring matter can be selected, and the selected pigment and coloring matter can be dispersed in the bead body so that the bead body has the predetermined color. Saturation The scented booster beads Saturation is less than or equal to 70% of the external color of the scented booster beads. Saturation The colorful level of the scented booster beads is determined by the Saturation The lower the value, the less pure the color. Saturation When the ratio is less than or equal to 70%, the scented booster beads have a texture that is coated with a layer of powder or a texture that is mixed with powder. That is, a powder-coated texture is formed, and a macaron-like candy-colored appearance can be formed. brightness is 50-100%. brightnessThe value primarily refers to the degree of brightness of the scented booster beads, i.e., the change in color or brightness of the light. When the brightness of the light is consistent, brightness The reflectivity of the bead body is related to the smoothness of the surface. When the surface of the bead body is smooth, the reflectivity of the surface increases, brightness The surface of the beads is smooth, giving a high level of sensation. brightness When is 50-100%, Saturation The color of the powder is obtained by the low purity and brightness You can get high color, which will give you scented booster beads that are macaron colored.
[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the appearance color of the scented booster beads is macaron color, the scented booster beads Saturation is 0 to 70%, 10 to 50%, 20 to 40%, or a combination thereof, or Saturation Any scented booster bead having a value within the above range may be used. brightness Scented Booster Beads Saturation By adjusting the amount, the external color of the beads can be made pink, and the external color can be made macaron-colored.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the color of the appearance of the scented booster beads is Saturation The content is 20 to 40%, and the preferred color tone is a macaron color composed of pale colors, such as pink, light red, pink yellow, light yellow, pink green, light green, milk white, etc. This color tone gives a comfortable feeling to the user and can attract the attention of consumers.
[0023] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the appearance color of the scented booster beads is macaron color, the scented booster beads brightnessis 50 to 100%, 60 to 100%, 70 to 100%, or a combination thereof, or brightness Any scented booster bead having a color and a viscosity within the above range may be used. Saturation When does not change, brightness The higher the value, the brighter the color of the beads themselves. brightness The lower the value, the darker the color of the bead body. Saturation in brightness By adjusting the color of the beads, the color of the beads can be made soft and comfortable, improving the favorable impression on consumers and attracting their attention.
[0024] The reason why the scented booster beads have a macaron-colored appearance is that a specific pigment is added and the amount of the pigment is appropriate. That is, the bead body contains microbubbles and the bead body has a specific color. Saturation and brightness As mentioned above, the macaron-colored appearance of the scented booster beads is related to the content of microbubbles in the bead body. When microbubbles are present in the bead body, the microbubbles can evenly distribute the pigment, reducing the pigment concentration on the surface of the bubbles and reducing the purity of the color. For example, when a balloon is inflated, the color of the surface of the balloon becomes lighter and the pigment concentration decreases as the balloon expands. Saturation On the other hand, as the balloon expands, the smooth texture of the surface of the balloon increases. brightness The volume proportion of microbubbles in the scented Booster Beads influences the color formation of the scented Booster Beads' appearance, while the pigment or dye content of the scented Booster Beads remains unchanged. The larger the microbubble size, the more the scented Booster Beads' appearance becomes soft.
[0025] However, the greater the volume fraction of microbubbles, the lower the hardness of the bead body of the scented booster beads. If the hardness of the bead body decreases, the bead body may burst due to impact. This may result in the inability to ensure the integrity of the bead body, resulting in defects in the bead body and a poor appearance. In an embodiment of the present invention, the volume fraction of microbubbles in the bead body may be 5-75%, 10-50%, 15-40%, or a combination thereof, or any microbubbles within the above ranges may be used. When the volume fraction of microbubbles in the bead body is within the above range, the color of the bead body's appearance may be improved. Saturation and brightness By appropriately adjusting the hardness, it is possible to obtain a macaron-colored appearance effect. In addition, the high hardness of the bead body prevents the bead body from being damaged when it is put into a bottle or transported, and ensures the perfect appearance of the bead body.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the volume ratio of the microbubbles in the scented booster beads is 15-40%, the external color of the bead body is Saturation is decreasing, brightness The hardness of the bead body is higher, the color of the bead body is macaron green, and the hardness of the bead body is 5N or more.
[0027] The volume fraction of microbubbles affects the color formation and hardness of the bead body, while the effective diameter and uniformity of distribution of the microbubbles also affect the color and hardness of the bead body. When the volume fraction of microbubbles remains constant, the smaller the effective diameter of the microbubbles, the more uniform the distribution of the microbubbles and the more uniform the macaron color of the bead body surface. This means that the bead body's appearance color becomes clearer and its hardness also increases. Conversely, the larger the effective diameter of the microbubbles, the less uniform the distribution of the microbubbles and the less uniform the macaron color of the bead body surface. This means that the bead body's appearance color becomes poorer and its hardness also decreases. This is because the smaller the effective diameter of the microbubbles, the more uniform the distribution of the microbubbles and the more small the microbubbles are formed. Small microbubbles are less likely to burst, which prevents defects from forming on the bead body surface. This smooths the surface texture of the bead body and Saturation Reduces brightness This increases the hardness of the beads, resulting in a high-quality macaron color. The small micro-bubbles are less likely to burst, which increases the hardness of the beads themselves.
[0028] In the embodiments of the present invention, the effective diameter of the microbubbles can be 100 nm to 5000 μm, 1 μm to 2000 μm, 100 μm to 1000 μm, or a combination thereof, or any microbubbles having an effective diameter within the above ranges. By having the microbubbles have the above effective diameter, the microbubbles can be evenly dispersed within the bead body, the surface color of the bead body can be macaron green, and the hardness of the bead body can be adjusted.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the effective diameter of the microbubbles in the scented booster beads is 100 μm to 1000 μm. When the effective diameter of the microbubbles is within this range, the macaron-colored surface of the bead body can be improved and the hardness of the bead body can be adjusted, thereby reducing the breakage rate of the bead body during injection or transportation of the scented booster beads and ensuring the integrity of the entire bead body.
[0030] The present invention further provides a manufacturing method A for scented booster beads. The scented booster beads manufactured by the manufacturing method have a macaron-colored appearance. That is, the manufacturing method of the present invention uses a chemical method to generate gas within the beads, thereby forming micro-bubbles within the beads. As a result, the scented booster beads have a low color appearance. Saturation and brightness By changing the color of the scented booster beads, it is possible to obtain the effect of the external color of the scented booster beads being macaron-colored. In the method for producing the scented booster beads, the gas is generated within the beads as follows: Gas generation aids A and B and a gas capture agent are added to the raw material for the scented booster beads. The gas thus generated forms microbubbles, which are then evenly dispersed in the molten raw material. The raw material is then cooled and solidified to obtain scented booster beads containing microbubbles.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method A for preparing the scented booster beads includes the following steps:
[0032] In step A1, raw materials for producing scented booster beads are prepared in predetermined proportions. The raw materials include a base material, a forming agent, a fragrance, a gas scavenger, auxiliary agent A, auxiliary agent B, a pigment, and a pigment. Auxiliary agent A can generate gas by thermal decomposition or by chemical reaction with auxiliary agent B. An appropriate amount of water can be added to promote the reaction between auxiliary agents A and B. In this case, auxiliary agents A and B dissolve in water to form a solution, which promotes the dispersion and reaction of auxiliary agents A and B. An antibacterial or bacteriostatic agent can also be added to the raw materials depending on the need for antibacterial or sterilizing properties.
[0033] In step A2, the base material is heated to a molten state, and then the forming agent is added while stirring, and the mixture is thoroughly mixed with the molten base material. Next, the gas scavenger is added and stirred evenly. Next, the fragrance, colorant, and / or bacteriostatic or antibacterial agent are added and stirred evenly. Next, auxiliary agent A is added in small amounts multiple times and stirred evenly. Finally, auxiliary agent B is added in small amounts multiple times and stirred evenly, allowing auxiliary agents A and B to fully react and obtaining a mixture containing microbubbles.
[0034] In step A3, the temperature of the mixture is adjusted, and the particles produced in the granulator are cooled and molded to obtain scented booster beads having a macaron-colored appearance.
[0035] In this example, by adding gas-forming adjuvants A and B and a gas-trapping agent to the base material, scented booster beads containing a high volume fraction of microbubbles can be obtained, which gives the scented booster beads a macaron-like appearance and enhances the texture of the scented booster beads, making them more appealing to consumers.
[0036] In this embodiment, in step A3, the temperature of the mixture affects the viscosity of the mixture and the gas content of the mixture. The higher the temperature of the mixture, the lower the viscosity of the mixture. When the viscosity of the mixture is low and the temperature of the mixture is high, gas will overflow from the mixture, reducing the gas content and resulting in the appearance of the bead body. Saturation and brightness Conversely, the lower the temperature of the mixture, the greater the viscosity of the mixture, making it more difficult for gas to escape from the mixture and increasing the gas content. If the temperature of the mixture is too low, the gas distribution will be less uniform and large bubbles will easily form. This may reduce the hardness of the bead body, increase the rate of microbubble bursting, and degrade the texture of the bead body. Furthermore, if the temperature of the mixture is too low, a tailing phenomenon may easily occur when producing scented booster bead particles. This may prevent the formation of hemispherical or spherical particles, degrading the appearance quality of the scented booster beads. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step A3, the temperature of the mixture is adjusted to 50 to 75°C, 55 to 60°C, any two temperatures within the above ranges, or any one temperature within the above ranges, thereby increasing the gas content of the mixture, increasing the volume fraction of microbubbles in the bead body, and ensuring a uniform distribution of the microbubbles. Furthermore, the occurrence of the tailing phenomenon during particle production can be prevented, the shape of the bead body can be made to be a predetermined shape, and the shape of the bead body can be made smooth.
[0037] In the method A for manufacturing scented booster beads according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base material may be one or a combination of ethylene oxide copolymer, propylene oxide copolymer, or ethylene oxide / propylene oxide copolymer. The ethylene oxide copolymer, propylene oxide copolymer, or ethylene oxide / propylene oxide copolymer has a weight-average molecular weight of 1,500 to 20,000, which gives the base material good water solubility and molding properties, and the base material can be used as a carrier for fragrances and other auxiliary additives.
[0038] The forming agent promotes particle shaping during particle production. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the forming agent has a cationic structure. The forming agent with a cationic structure cooperates with clothing fibers to adsorb the essence and essence microcapsules dissolved in water, thereby enabling the fragrance to last longer.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cationic binder is one or a combination of polyethylene glycol stearate, plant-based modified ester quaternary ammonium salt, plant-based modified imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt, plant-based modified amide salts, cationic modified starch, cationic modified cellulose, or hemicellulose, which can provide a long-lasting fragrance. It should be noted that the polyethylene glycol stearate, plant-based modified ester quaternary ammonium salt, plant-based modified imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt, plant-based modified amide salt, cationic modified starch, cationic modified cellulose, and hemicellulose are all manufactured by Nanfeng County Daxin Technology Co., Ltd., China.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the method A for producing scented booster beads, the additive A can be any one or a combination of water-soluble alkaline earth metal carbonate, water-soluble alkaline earth metal bicarbonate, water-soluble alkaline earth metal sulfite, and water-soluble alkaline earth metal bisulfite. The additive B can be an inorganic acid or an organic acid with a stronger acidity than carbonic acid or sulfurous acid. The inorganic acid can be silicic acid, metasilicic acid, phosphoric acid, etc., and the organic acid can be other organic acids with a stronger acidity than carbonic acid or sulfurous acid, such as acetic acid, citric acid, and oxalic acid. During the production of the scented booster beads, the additive A generates gas by thermal decomposition, thereby forming microbubbles within the bead body. The added adjuvant B and a portion of the adjuvant A that is not decomposed undergo a chemical reaction to generate gas, and by allowing adjuvant A to react completely, more gas can be generated.
[0041] To avoid gas overflow and ensure uniform dispersion of microbubbles, a powder material with a porous structure is used as the gas trapping agent. When producing the scented booster beads, the powder material is not melted but dispersed in a solid state in the molten mixture, forming a core region where gas gathers, making it easy to trap gas. The gas trapping agent is uniformly dispersed in the molten mixture. That is, the core region is uniformly dispersed in the molten raw material, allowing the microbubbles to be uniformly dispersed in the molten raw material. As a result, the scented booster beads of the present invention have a poor appearance. Saturation and expensive brightness The scented booster beads have a macaron-colored exterior.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gas scavenger may be one or a combination of porous materials such as silicon dioxide, kaolin, bentonite, clay, natural zeolite, molecular sieve, amorphous metal oxide, nano aluminum oxide, nano magnetic iron oxide, modified coke powder, modified fly ash, modified coffee grounds, modified cellulose, and modified starch. The porous structure of the gas scavenger increases the specific surface area of the gas scavenger. This allows the gas scavenger to capture more gas during the preparation of scented booster beads, and the trapped microbubbles can be evenly dispersed in the molten mixture. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the modified coke powder, modified fly ash, modified coffee grounds, modified cellulose, and modified starch are produced by chemical or biological methods, i.e., by modifying coke powder, fly ash, coffee grounds, cellulose, and starch into powder materials with a porous structure and a large specific surface area, which allows the materials to have the ability to trap gases.
[0043] The particle diameter and specific surface area of the gas scavenger directly affect the formation of microbubbles and the uniformity of their distribution within the bead body. When the amount of gas scavenger added remains constant, the smaller the particle diameter of the gas scavenger, the more evenly the gas scavenger will be dispersed within the raw material, the more evenly the microbubbles will be formed, and the more effectively the scented booster beads will appear macaron-colored. The larger the specific surface area of the gas scavenger, the stronger the gas scavenger's ability to capture gas, the higher the volume fraction of microbubbles within the bead body, the larger the effective diameter of the microbubbles, and the better the color of the scented booster beads will appear. However, if the effective diameter of the microbubbles is too large, the microbubbles may burst, causing defects on the surface of the bead body. To obtain scented booster beads with a macaron-colored appearance and a perfect appearance, the particle diameter of the gas scavenger is preferably 10 to 1000 nm, 10 to 100 nm, 10 to 50 nm, or a combination of the above particle diameter ranges, or any one of the above ranges. The specific surface area of the gas scavenger is preferably 1 to 1000 m. 2 / g, 1-500m 2 / g, 100-300m 2 / g or a combination thereof, or any one value within the above range. A gas trapping agent having the particle diameter and specific surface area in the above range can be evenly dispersed within the mixture, thereby allowing the microbubbles to be evenly dispersed within the bead body.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the particle diameter of the gas scavenger is 10 to 50 nm, and the specific surface area is 100 to 300 m 2 / g, it is possible to ensure that the gas scavenger is dispersed evenly in the molten mixture and that the formed microbubbles are dispersed evenly within the bead body. When the effective diameter of the microbubbles is 100-1000 μm, the external color of the bead body is Saturation is decreasing, brightnessThe bead body can be macaron-colored and have good hardness.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the raw materials for the scented booster beads are weighed by weight, and the raw materials for producing the scented booster beads include 20 to 95 parts base material, 0.1 to 25 parts molding agent, 0.01 to 50 parts fragrance, 0.001 to 10 parts bacteriostatic agent, 0.001 to 10 parts gas scavenger, 0.001 to 10 parts adjuvant A, 0.001 to 10 parts adjuvant B, 0.0001 to 10 parts colorant, and 0.01 to 10 parts water. By producing scented booster beads using these raw materials, scented booster beads can be obtained that retain a good fragrance, inhibit the growth of bacteria, and have a macaron-colored appearance.
[0046] The present invention further provides a method B for producing scented booster beads. The scented booster beads produced by this method have a macaron-colored appearance. This method involves injecting gas into molten raw materials, and an added gas scavenger traps the gas, forming microgases, thereby achieving the macaron-colored appearance of the bead bodies. In an embodiment of the present invention, the method B for producing scented booster beads includes the following steps:
[0047] In step B1, a base material, a molding agent, a gas trapping agent, a fragrance, a coloring matter, and a bacteriostatic agent (a bacteriostatic agent may not be added) are prepared in predetermined proportions.
[0048] In step B2, the base material is introduced into a reaction kettle and heated to a molten state, and then the molding agent, gas trapping agent, fragrance, bacteriostatic agent, and coloring agent are introduced while stirring, and the mixture is stirred uniformly to obtain a uniform mixture.
[0049] In step B3, the gas is injected into the bottom of the reaction vessel, and then stirred evenly to distribute the gas evenly throughout the mixture.
[0050] In step B4, the temperature of the mixture is adjusted and the produced particles are cooled to obtain scented booster beads having a macaron-colored appearance.
[0051] In this embodiment, gas is introduced to form micro-gases within the scented booster beads, resulting in scented booster beads with a macaron-colored exterior that is well-received by consumers.
[0052] In this embodiment, the steps of preparing the base material, molding agent, gas scavenger, fragrance, bacteriostatic agent, and colorant in predetermined proportions are the same as those in the manufacturing method A of scented booster beads. For simplicity, they will not be described again. For details, please refer to the manufacturing method A of scented booster beads.
[0053] In this example, a gas-liquid dispersion type stirring paddle is used as the stirring paddle to evenly disperse the injected gas throughout the mixture. A gas-liquid dispersion type stirring paddle refers to a stirring paddle whose blades are formed in a special shape. For example, the blades may be formed in an asymmetric or symmetric parabolic shape, or may have sawtooth edges. Stirring with the gas-liquid dispersion type stirring paddle disperses the injected gas, uniformly dispersing it throughout the mixture and forming microgases.
[0054] It should be noted that in step B4, the temperature of the mixture must also be adjusted to adjust the viscosity of the mixture to suit the gas entrapment and particle formation. In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the mixture is adjusted to 50-75°C to ensure the product formation and gas formation effects.
[0055] The following examples are provided to more fully illustrate the scented booster beads of the present invention and their methods of manufacture.

Next, auxiliary agent A is added in small amounts multiple times and stirred evenly. Finally, auxiliary agent B is added in small amounts multiple times and stirred evenly, allowing auxiliary agents A and B to fully react and resulting in a mixture containing microbubbles.
[0061] In step A3, the temperature of the raw materials is adjusted to 75°C, and the particles produced in the granulator are cooled and molded to obtain scented booster beads with a macaron-colored appearance.
