Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to foamable aerosol compositions and aerosol products containing monochlorotrifluoropropenes. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, foam-forming aerosol products have used liquefied gases such as LPG, and compressed gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen as propellants and blowing agents. Liquefied gases such as LPG have good foaming properties and can form foam that is less likely to drip, but they are flammable, which raises safety concerns. On the other hand, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes using a non-flammable organic fluorine compound as a propellant for an aerosol product. Patent Document 2 also proposes the combined use of an organic fluorine compound such as monochlorotrifluoropropene and a compressed gas. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-110225 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-023474 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The inventors have conducted research and found that aerosol product foams using compressed gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas have problems such as lower foaming ability, faster defoaming, and a tendency to drip compared to those using liquefied gases. Furthermore, even when an organic fluorine compound such as monochlorotrifluoropropene and a compressed gas are used in combination as in Patent Document 2, it was found that the density and volume of the foam are insufficient, and there are also issues with respect to pleasant defoaming properties. In view of these problems, the present disclosure provides a foamable aerosol composition that has excellent foam density and volume, and has good defoaming properties that allow the foam to be easily defoamed by rubbing it in with the hands. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present disclosure provides a foamable aerosol composition comprising: The foamable aerosol composition comprises a concentrate composition comprising water and a thickener; Contains monochlorotrifluoropropene and compressed gas, The monochlorotrifluoropropene is at least one selected from the group consisting of transCF3CH=CClH (1233zdE) and cisCF3CH=CClH (1233zdZ), The foamable aerosol composition is characterized in that, when the foam of the foamable aerosol composition discharged from a pressure-resistant container is measured using a universal testing machine, the maximum load value is 0.95 N or more and 10.00 N or less, and the integrated value is 0.010 or more and 0.050 or less. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a foamable aerosol composition that has excellent foam density and volume, and has good defoaming properties that allow the foam to be easily defoamed when rubbed in with the hands. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Unless otherwise specified, the numerical ranges "XX to YY" and "XX to YY" are used. , refers to a numerical range including the lower and upper endpoints. When numerical ranges are stated in stages, the upper and lower limits of each numerical range can be combined in any way.

[0008] The present inventors first conducted studies to obtain dense and voluminous foam from a foamable aerosol composition using an organic fluorine compound. The present inventors investigated the relationship between the rheological evaluation of foam and foam properties and found that the density and volume of foam correlate with the maximum load value and integrated value in the rheological evaluation. That is, when the foam of a foamable aerosol composition discharged from a pressure-resistant container under the conditions described below is measured using a universal testing machine, the maximum load value must be 0.95 N or more and 10.00 N or less, and the integrated value must be 0.010 or more and 0.050 or less.

[0009] As the maximum load value and the integrated value increase, the hardness and tenacity of the foam improve, and dense, voluminous foam tends to be obtained. When the maximum load value and integrated value are within the above ranges, the foam density and volume are good. When the maximum load value is less than 0.95 N and the integrated value is less than 0.010, the foam density and volume are insufficient. The maximum load value is preferably 1.00 N or more and 7.00 N or less, more preferably 1.30 N or more and 5.00 N or less. The integrated value is preferably 0.010 or more and 0.040 or less, more preferably 0.012 or more and 0.025 or less. The maximum load value and the integrated value can be controlled by the content of monochlorotrifluoropropene and the content of thickener. For example, when the content of monochlorotrifluoropropene and the content of thickener are increased, the maximum load value and the integrated value tend to increase. On the other hand, when the content of monochlorotrifluoropropene is too high, the maximum load value and the integrated value tend to decrease.

[0010] Each component used in the foamable aerosol composition will now be described. The foamable aerosol composition comprises a monochlorotrifluoropropene. The monochlorotrifluoropropene is at least one selected from the group consisting of transCF3CH=CClH (HFO-1233zdE) and cisCF3CH=CClH (HFO-1233zdZ). CF3CH=CClH is also called 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene. It is particularly preferred that the monochlorotrifluoropropene is transCF3CH=CClH (HFO-1233zdE).

[0011] The monochlorotrifluoropropene can function as a propellant and a foaming agent. Monochlorotrifluoropropene has a lower vapor pressure than liquefied gases such as LPG, and can exhibit moderate foaming and defoaming properties, forming voluminous foam with a low specific gravity. In addition, the inclusion of monochlorotrifluoropropene can also cause post-foaming, so that foaming occurs when applied to the skin, etc., resulting in a good feel when used. Usually, the foam that satisfies the above-mentioned maximum load value and integrated value is hard and tenacious, so it tends to be difficult to defoam.However, by combining monochlorotrifluoropropene with thickener, it can produce dense and voluminous foam, and it continues to foam for a while after being applied to the hand, so that it can obtain a comfortable feeling of use, and it can obtain good defoaming property that it can easily disappear when being massaged by hand.The present inventors believe that such good properties are influenced by the property that monochlorotrifluoropropene is prone to post-foaming. Furthermore, the monochlorotrifluoropropene is non-flammable and has a very low global warming potential (GWP).

[0012] The content of monochlorotrifluoropropene in the aerosol composition is preferably 0.8% by mass to 30% by mass, more preferably 0.8% by mass to 28% by mass, even more preferably 1.5% by mass to 26% by mass, and even more preferably 1.8% by mass to 22% by mass. % by mass, and particularly preferably 4.0 to 17% by mass. By being in the above range, better foaming and defoaming properties are exhibited.

[0013] Foamable aerosol compositions contain a compressed gas, which can function as both a propellant and a foaming agent. The compressed gas is not particularly limited, and any known gas that can be used in aerosol products can be used. The compressed gas is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, nitrous oxide, argon, helium, and compressed air, more preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, compressed air, and nitrous oxide, even more preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide gas and nitrogen gas, and even more preferably carbon dioxide gas. It is believed that carbon dioxide gas dissolves slightly in the concentrate composition, resulting in better foaming properties.

[0014] The content of compressed gas in the aerosol composition is not particularly limited as long as the aerosol composition can be ejected. It is preferably 0.5% by mass to 5.0% by mass. Within this range, better foaming properties can be achieved. The content of compressed gas in the aerosol composition is more preferably 1.0% by mass to 3.0% by mass, and even more preferably 1.5% by mass to 2.5% by mass.

[0015] The mass ratio of compressed gas to monochlorotrifluoropropene (compressed gas:monochlorotrifluoropropene) in the aerosol composition is preferably 3:1 to 1:15, more preferably 2:1 to 1:13, and even more preferably 2:3 to 1:11. When the mass ratio is within the above range, good foaming and defoaming properties are obtained.

[0016] The concentrate composition in the foamable aerosol composition contains water. The water content in the concentrate composition is preferably 50% to 98% by mass, more preferably 70% to 95% by mass, and even more preferably 80% to 92% by mass.

[0017] The concentrate composition in the foamable aerosol composition contains a thickener. The thickener can provide good foaming and defoaming properties and suppress dripping. As described above, the combination of monochlorotrifluoropropene and a thickener can produce dense, voluminous foam while still providing good defoaming properties. The thickener is not particularly limited, and known thickeners can be used. For example, the following can be mentioned. Cellulose-based thickeners such as cellulose gum, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydrophobized hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium cellulose sulfate, and cellulose powder.

[0018] Among the above, cellulose-based thickeners and plant-based thickeners are preferred, that is, the thickener preferably includes at least one selected from the group consisting of cellulose-based thickeners and plant-based thickeners. The content of the thickener (preferably a cellulose-based thickener or a plant-based thickener) in the concentrate composition is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the above maximum load value and integrated value, and is preferably 0.10% by mass to 2% by mass, more preferably 0.15% by mass to 2.0% by mass, even more preferably 0.15% by mass to 1.2% by mass, still more preferably 0.2% by mass to 0.7% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.2% by mass to 0.4% by mass.

[0019] The thickener more preferably contains hydrophobized hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Hydrophobized hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is, for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose modified with an alkyl group having 14 to 30 carbon atoms (preferably 16 to 22 carbon atoms), and stearoxyhydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Sangelose (Daido Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.)) or the like can be used.

[0020] The concentrate composition of the foamable aerosol composition may contain a surfactant, which can provide better foaming properties. The surfactant is not particularly limited, and may be any of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants.

(3) After filling the dish with foam, scrape off the excess foam so that the top surface is flat. (4) Set it in the universal testing machine and measure it under the above conditions. (5) The maximum value of the pressing force obtained from the measurement results is the "maximum load value." In addition, calculate the "integrated value (conceptual value)" using the following formula. *Integrated value (conceptual value) = F2(S2-S1) + F3(S3-S2) + + F n (S n -S n-1 ) F: Load value (N), S: Displacement (m), Number of samples (n): 890 By performing the measurements under the above conditions, n=890 samples are obtained.
