AI Technical Summary
Existing microcapsules used in textile product treatment agents, such as detergents and fabric softeners, fail to retain fragrances effectively under high-temperature conditions or extended storage due to thin shells that allow core components to dissolve or leach out, reducing adsorption rates.
A textile product treatment agent composition containing silica microcapsules with a silica shell and a fragrance core, combined with a cationic surfactant, is formulated to maintain high adsorption rates by lowering the pH to 4.0 or less, ensuring retention even under high temperatures and long-term storage.
The composition effectively suppresses the decrease in fragrance adsorption to textile products, maintaining a high adsorption rate even after high-temperature storage or extended periods.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a textile product treatment agent composition. [Background technology]
[0002] Consumer interest in fragrances during washing, drying, and wearing clothes is increasing, and the market for liquid fabric softeners and fragrance enhancers that emphasize fragrance continues to grow. However, because textile treatment compositions used in general households are applied to textile products via water, the fragrance may not adhere sufficiently to the fibers, or it may evaporate from the fabric during drying or over time after drying, resulting in a weakened scent. To address these problems, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a fabric softening composition containing a specific long-lasting fragrance composition that improves the lifespan of fragrances on fabrics.
[0003] Patent Document 2 discloses a sustained-release fragrance composition that can be used in clothing, for the purpose of prolonging the fragrance, by using a mixture of dibasic acid monoesters and / or dibasic acid diesters with ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. Patent Document 3 also discloses that a fragrance can be prolonged by using an aqueous liquid containing emulsion particles obtained by emulsifying and dispersing a mixture of oils and fats with a melting point of 30°C or higher at atmospheric pressure and a fragrance composition in water.
[0004] On the other hand, attempts have been made to microencapsulate fragrances in order to efficiently deliver them to clothing and improve their lingering scent during wear. Patent document 4 describes an encapsulated fragrance containing a fragrance composition with a flash point in the range of 50 to 130°C as the core material. Patent document 5 also describes that by using microcapsules containing fragrance in combination with a polymer containing a specific amine, it is possible to uniformly adhere fragrances at high concentrations to multiple different surfaces.
[0005] Furthermore, studies are being conducted on the synthesis of microcapsules using the sol-gel method. Patent Document 6 discloses a microcapsule having a core substance enclosed within a microcapsule shell, which is intended to substantially isolate the active ingredient of a sunscreen from biological tissue while still benefiting from the light-absorbing capacity of the sunscreen, wherein the core substance contains the active ingredient, the microcapsule shell is made of an inorganic polymer consisting of a polymerized precursor obtained by in-situ polymerization of the precursor, and the concentration of the core substance based on the total weight of the microcapsule is 95% by weight or more. Patent Document 7 discloses a therapeutic or cosmetic composition that allows for the stabilization and application of an active ingredient, comprising a plurality of microcapsules having a core-shell structure, wherein the microcapsules have a diameter of about 0.1 to 100 microns, each core contains an active ingredient, the core is encapsulated within a microcapsule shell, the shell is made of an inorganic polymer obtained by a sol-gel method, and the microcapsule shell protects the active ingredient before topical application and releases the active ingredient after topical application. Patent Document 8 discloses a method for producing microcapsule particles containing an active substance in the core, for example, to improve the release properties of fragrances for personal care products. This method involves mixing a sol-gel precursor with an active substance (particularly an essential oil) and cooling the mixture, then cooling an aqueous solution of the active substance, adding the mixture of the sol-gel precursor and essential oil to the aqueous solution, emulsifying it, then adding an antifoaming agent, and curing the mixture. Furthermore, Patent Document 9 describes that incorporating microcapsules containing fragrances produced by the core-shell method into detergents and fabric softeners improves the lingering fragrance of clothes after washing.

[0006] Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Publication No. 11-504994 Patent Document 2: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-313580 Patent Document 3: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-72539 Patent Document 4: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-249326 Patent Document 5: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-172687 Patent Document 6 Special Publication No. 2007-500590 Patent Document 7 Special Publication No. 2003-534249 Patent Document 8: U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010 / 0143422 Patent Document 9 Special Publication No. 2011-517323 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0007] In recent years, several technologies have been proposed to provide lasting fragrance to textile products, and one representative method involves microencapsulating fragrances and delivering them to clothing. However, the shells of microcapsules (hereinafter also referred to as "shells") are very thin. As a result, the core components dissolve into the shell, or leach out into the external environment through diffusion and penetration via the micropores present in the shell. Capsules obtained by the methods described in Patent Documents 6-9, perhaps due to insufficient shell density or strength, could not adequately retain organic compounds, such as fragrances, which are active ingredients, within the capsules even under high-temperature conditions or for extended periods when coexisting with surfactants. Therefore, when capsules are incorporated into textile product treatment agents containing surfactants, such as detergents and fabric softeners, the adsorption rate of the fragrance inside the capsules to textile products during washing decreases when the treatment agent is stored under high-temperature conditions or for extended periods.
[0008] The present invention provides a textile product treatment agent composition that contains silica capsules, which are microcapsules in which the shell contains silica as a constituent and in which a fragrance compound is present in the core, and a cationic surfactant, and that can suppress the decrease in the adsorption rate to textile products and maintain a high adsorption rate even after high temperature and / or long-term storage. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that in a system in which silica capsules for efficiently delivering fragrance compounds to clothing coexist with a cationic surfactant, the fragrance compounds encapsulated in the core can be retained even after the textile product treatment composition is stored at high temperatures or for a long period of time by lowering the pH using any acid, and this has led to the present invention.
[0010] The present invention relates to a textile product treatment agent composition containing the following components (A) and (B), and water, and having a pH of 4.0 or less at 30°C. (A) Components: Microcapsules having a shell containing silica and a core containing a fragrance compound inside the shell. (B) Component: A surfactant having cationic properties at a pH of 4.0 or lower. [Effects of the Invention]
[0011] The present invention provides a textile product treatment agent composition, such as a liquid softener composition, and a method for producing the textile product treatment agent composition, which contains a silica capsule in which the shell is composed of silica and the core contains a fragrance compound, and a cationic surfactant, and which can suppress a decrease in the adsorption rate to textile products and maintain a high adsorption rate even after high temperature and / or long-term storage.

[0028] Depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the oil phase components containing the fragrance compounds, any acidic or alkaline pH adjusting agent may be used to adjust to the desired initial pH.

In other words, steps 1-4 may preferably be the following steps 1-4'. Step 1-4': The pH of the emulsion obtained in Step 1-3 is adjusted using a pH adjusting agent, and the first sol-gel reaction is carried out to form a silica capsule (1) having a core and a first shell, and an aqueous dispersion containing the silica capsule (1) is obtained.

However, from the viewpoint of forming a highly dense second shell, it is preferable to add it continuously by drop.

The adjustment of the total amount of the fragrance compound and tetraalkoxysilane in Step 1 relative to the total amount of the aqueous dispersion before the addition of tetraalkoxysilane in Step 2 may be performed by carrying out Step 1 so that the amounts of the fragrance compound and tetraalkoxysilane in Step 1 and the total amount of the aqueous dispersion obtained in Step 1 are within the above range, or by further adding water to the aqueous dispersion obtained in Step 1 to dilute it.
[0036] From the viewpoint of production efficiency, in step 2, the aqueous dispersion obtained in step 1 may be diluted with water before adding the tetraalkoxysilane. The total amount of the fragrance compound and tetraalkoxysilane from step 1 relative to the total amount of the aqueous dispersion obtained in step 1 before dilution is preferably 3% by mass or more, more preferably 5% by mass or more, even more preferably 10% by mass or more, and even more preferably 15% by mass or more, and preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 40% by mass or less, and even more preferably 30% by mass or less.

Here, the organic polymer refers to a compound with a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 or more. The organic polymer is preferably one or more selected from cationic polymers and nonionic polymers. The nonionic polymer refers to a water-soluble polymer that does not have an electric charge in water.

When a cationic polymer or a nonionic polymer is used as the organic polymer, for example, when the silica capsules according to the present invention are used in a fiber treatment composition such as a softener composition, an improvement in the adsorption of the silica capsules to fibers can be expected. In this specification, "water-soluble polymer" means a polymer that, when dried at 105°C for 2 hours to reach a constant weight, is dissolved in 100g of water at 25°C, and the amount dissolved is 1 mg or more.

The nonionic polymer is preferably one or more selected from polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and other nonionic monomers such as vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acetate copolymer, and cellulosic polymers such as hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, and more preferably one or more selected from polyvinylpyrrolidone and hydroxypropylcellulose.
[0040] Cationic polymers include polymers containing quaternary ammonium bases, polymers having nitrogen-based cationic groups, and polymers that may become cationic through pH adjustment. By using cationic polymers, the tendency of silica capsules (1) obtained in step 1 to aggregate in the aqueous dispersion can be mitigated, and the generation of coarse particles and the like can be suppressed in the subsequent step 2. Examples of cationic polymers include polydiallyldimethylammonium salts and copolymers thereof, such as poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), poly(co-diallyldimethylammonium acrylate), poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride), and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylate-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride), as well as poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride), polyethyleneimine, polyallylamine, cationized cellulose, cationized guar gum, cationized tara gum, cationized fenugreek gum, and cationized locust bing gum. Among these, polydiallyldimethylammonium salts and copolymers thereof are preferred, with one or more selected from poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), poly(co-diallyldimethylammonium acrylate), and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylate-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) being more preferred, and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) being even more preferred.

The cationic polymer may contain anionic groups, in which case the anionic group equivalent contained in the cationic polymer is preferably 3.5 meq / g or less, more preferably 2 meq / g or less, even more preferably 1 meq / g or less. In this invention, the cationic group equivalent of the cationic polymer is calculated based on the monomer composition.

[0043] Furthermore, anionic polymers can also be used as the organic polymer. Examples of anionic polymers include polymers containing monomer units having carboxyl groups, polymers containing monomer units having sulfonic acid groups, and polymers that become anionic when the pH is adjusted. Examples of anionic polymers include poly(meth)(acrylic acid), poly(maleic acid), poly((meth)acrylic acid-co-maleic acid), poly((meth)acrylic acid-co-maleic anhydride), poly((meth)acrylic acid-co-isobutylene), poly((meth)acrylic acid-co-styrene), poly(isobutylene-co-maleic acid), poly(styrene-co-maleic acid), and carboxymethylcellulose. Note that (meth)acrylic acid means acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.
[0044] The silica capsules obtained in step 2 are obtained in the form of a slurry dispersed in water. Depending on the application, this can be used as is, but in some cases, the water content may be further reduced to concentrate it into a water slurry composition, or the silica capsules may be separated before use. Methods for concentration and separation include filtration and centrifugation.
[0045] In the method for producing the textile product treatment agent composition of the present invention, it is preferable that the silica capsules be used in the manufacturing process as an aqueous slurry composition in which the silica capsules are dispersed in water. Furthermore, the pH of the aqueous slurry composition containing the silica capsules at 30°C is preferably 5.0 or less, more preferably 2.0 to 4.5, even more preferably 2.5 to 4.0 under acidic conditions, or preferably 7.5 to 11.5, more preferably 8.0 to 11.0, even more preferably 8.5 to 10.5 under alkaline conditions. Since the silica capsules will aggregate if the pH falls outside this range, it is preferable that the pH of the aqueous slurry composition be acidic below a specific pH or alkaline within a specific pH range. When measuring the water content of the aqueous slurry composition, it may be measured by separating it using a centrifuge or a filter and measuring the capsule concentration in each layer. Although this is not an exact amount of water, it is preferable that the aqueous solution, preferably the supernatant liquid, when 50 ml is centrifuged in a centrifuge at 5000 rpm for 15 minutes, has a concentration of preferably 40% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, and preferably 90% by mass or less, and even more preferably 85% by mass or less, of the aqueous slurry composition.
[0046] <core> The core of the silica capsule according to the present invention contains a fragrance compound. In the present invention, from the viewpoint of silica capsule formation, it is preferable that the proportion of fragrance compounds having a logP of 2.0 or more and a vapor pressure of 0.01 or more and 8.00 or less at 25°C is 25% by mass or more of the total amount of fragrance compounds.
[0047] In this invention, the logP value is a coefficient that indicates the affinity of an organic compound for water and 1-octanol. The 1-octanol / water partition coefficient P is the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of the compound in each solvent when a trace amount of the compound dissolves as a solute in a solvent consisting of two liquid phases, 1-octanol and water, and reaches partition equilibrium. It is generally expressed in the form of its logarithm logP with respect to base 10. Today, the value of "calculated logP (sometimes called ClogP)", which is calculated by a calculation program that uses the fragment value of the atomic group determined by the number of atoms constituting the compound molecule and the type of chemical bond, is widely used, and in this invention as well, the value of ClogP is used when selecting compounds.
[0048] In this invention, the ClogP value is calculated using the EPI Suite (registered trademark; The EstimationsProgramsInterface for Windows version 4.11), software jointly developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Syracuse.
[0049] In this invention, the vapor pressure at 25°C is determined by measurement or estimation from the boiling point, and is estimated from the melting point if the chemical substance is solid at room temperature. Vapor pressure can be estimated by several known methods (Antoine method, Modified Grain method, Mackay method, etc.), but in this invention, the value is calculated using MPBPWIN, which is incorporated into the EPI suite available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If the average value of the value calculated by the Antoine method and the value calculated by the Grain method is displayed as a "Selected VP" in the calculation results, that average value is used. If there is no display of a "Selected VP," the value calculated by the Modified Grain method is used.

[0081] <ph> The most important part of the present invention is the pH of the textile product treatment agent composition. The inventors have found that when silica capsules are dispersed in water at low concentrations, for example, when they are incorporated into a composition containing water as component (A) of the present invention, the fragrance inside the capsules is more likely to leak depending on the pH. Therefore, in order to suppress the leakage of fragrance compounds from the silica capsules, the pH of the textile product treatment agent composition of the present invention at 30°C is 4.0 or less, preferably 3.5 or less, more preferably 3.2 or less, even more preferably 3.0 or less, even more preferably 2.8 or less, even more preferably 2.6 or less, and even more preferably 2.4 or less. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of safety in use, the pH is preferably 1.5 or higher.
[0082] When using a surfactant having an ester group as represented by general formula (B2) as component (B), the surfactant tends to hydrolyze easily if the pH of the textile product treatment agent composition is too high or too low. Therefore, when using a surfactant having an ester bond as represented by general formula (B2), it is preferable to set the pH of the composition while considering the amount used and stability. The method for measuring pH is described in the examples.
[0083] <Components that the textile product treatment agent composition of the present invention may contain> The textile product treatment agent composition of the present invention may further contain the following components.
[0084] <(C) component> The textile product treatment composition of the present invention preferably contains silica particles as component (C) from the viewpoint of maintaining the adsorption rate of the fragrance inside the capsule even at high temperatures or after long-term storage. The silica particles of component (C) are preferably particles in which the silica portion is not a shell or membrane, for example, solid particles.
[0085] There are no restrictions on the type or particle size of silica particles used in this invention; for example, colloidal silica can be used.
[0086] Colloidal silica is generally a colloidal solution in which negatively charged amorphous silica particles are dispersed in an aqueous solution in a monodisperse state of primary particles. -SiOH groups and -OH ions are present on the surface of the colloidal silica particles, and an electrical double layer is formed by alkali ions, stabilizing the particles through repulsion between them. Colloidal silica mainly consists of silicon dioxide, but may also contain small amounts of aluminates such as sodium aluminate and potassium aluminate, inorganic salts such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, and ammonium hydroxide, and organic salts such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide. These inorganic and organic salts act as colloidal stabilizers. The dispersion medium for colloidal silica may include an organic solvent in addition to water. The organic solvent may be water-soluble or water-insoluble, but it is preferably a water-soluble organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, or n-propanol.
[0087] There are no particular restrictions on the method of producing colloidal silica, and it can be produced by known methods. For example, (1) the water glass method, in which an alkali metal silicate salt such as sodium silicate is used as a raw material and particles are grown by a condensation reaction in an aqueous solution, and (2) the alkoxysilane method, in which an alkoxysilane such as tetraethoxysilane is used as a raw material and particles are grown by a condensation reaction in water containing a water-soluble organic solvent such as alcohol. Colloidal silica can be categorized into cationic colloidal silica and anionic colloidal silica. Cationic colloidal silica is produced by adjusting the pH to 2-4 to make the colloidal silica cationic, or by introducing cationic groups such as amino groups or ammonium groups to the silanol groups on the surface of the silica particles.
[0088] Anionic colloidal silica is obtained by stably dispersing ultrafine particles of anhydrous silicic acid, in an aqueous liquid, with silanol groups, hydroxyl groups, and anionic groups such as carboxyl groups and sulfone groups present on the surface of the silica particles. The treatment solution containing anionic colloidal silica preferably contains sodium hydroxide, potassium, ammonia, etc., to stabilize the colloid and is alkaline with a pH of about 8 to 11 at 25°C. As anionic colloidal silica, a solution in which high molecular weight anhydrous silicic acid ultrafine particles are dispersed in water is preferred.

[0089] The average particle size of the silica particles used in this invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as "average particle size of silica particles") can be measured as a volume-average particle size using the laser light scattering method. The average particle size of the silica particles is not particularly specified, but from the viewpoint of storage stability and aesthetics, it is preferably 10 nm or more, more preferably 20 nm or more, even more preferably 30 nm or more, and even more preferably 50 nm or more, and preferably 300 nm or less, more preferably 250 nm or less, even more preferably 200 nm or less, and even more preferably 100 nm or less.

[0091] <(D) component> The textile product treatment composition of the present invention may contain, as component (D), a fragrance compound other than the fragrance compound encapsulated in component (A). In the present invention, even if a fragrance compound is present, if it is not encapsulated in microcapsules, it is treated as component (D).
[0092] There are no particular restrictions on the fragrance compounds that can be used as component (D), and the same fragrance compounds released from component (A) may be used. Component (D) can be incorporated into the textile product treatment agent composition of the present invention as a fragrance composition containing multiple fragrance compounds.

[0160] <Preparation of liquid textile product treatment agent composition (liquid softener composition)> Liquid textile product treatment compositions were prepared by mixing each component to achieve the formulation shown in Table 2. Specifically, the composition is as follows. Note that the mass % in the table refers to the mass % of the active ingredient (component (a) is the mass %) of the fragrance compound. In a 300 mL beaker, an amount of deionized water equivalent to 85% by mass of the amount required to produce 200 g of liquid textile product treatment agent composition was added, along with components (E), (I), (J), (L), (M), and (O). The temperature of the deionized water was adjusted to 60 ± 2 °C using a water bath. A mixture was obtained by stirring with a stirring blade as needed to ensure that component (E) was uniformly dissolved in the deionized water. The stirring blade used was one with three blades, whose long side was positioned at a 90-degree angle to the rotational axis of a 5 mm diameter stirring rod, with a long side / short side ratio of 3 cm / 1.5 cm, and the blades positioned at a 45-degree angle to the rotational surface.
[0161] The mixed solution, heated to a temperature of 60±2℃, was stirred with the aforementioned stirring blade (300 r / m). Component (B), which had been heated and dissolved at 65℃, was added over a period of 3 minutes, followed by the addition of (N-2) from component (N). After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. Next, the mixture was cooled using a 5°C water bath until its temperature reached 30±2°C. Components (A), (C), (N-1), (D), and (F) from component (N) were added sequentially and stirred for 5 minutes. Furthermore, deionized water was added to reach the final mass (200g), and the mixture was stirred for another 5 minutes to obtain the liquid textile product treatment agent composition. The pH was adjusted as appropriate with an aqueous NaOH solution.
[0162] The pH of the liquid fiber product treatment agent composition was measured as follows. A pH measuring composite electrode (HORIBA general-purpose sleeve type) was connected to a pH meter (HORIBA pH meter D-51), and the power was turned on. A saturated potassium chloride aqueous solution (3.33 mol / L) was used as the internal solution for the pH electrode. Next, 100 ml beakers were filled with pH 1.68 standard solution (oxalate standard solution), pH 4.01 standard solution (phthalate standard solution), and pH 6.86 (neutral phosphate standard solution), and immersed in a 30°C constant temperature bath for 30 minutes. The pH measuring electrode was immersed in the standard solutions adjusted to constant temperature for 3 minutes, and the calibration procedure was performed in the order of pH 6.86 → pH 4.01 → pH 1.68. When measuring in the alkaline range, a pH 9.18 standard solution (borate standard solution) is used for calibration instead of the pH 1.68 standard solution. The sample was filled into a 100 ml beaker and adjusted to 30°C in a 30°C constant temperature bath. The pH was measured by immersing a pH measuring electrode in the sample adjusted to constant temperature for 3 minutes.
[0163] The visible light transmittance of the obtained liquid textile product treatment compositions was measured. Specifically, a glass cell with a path length of 10 mm was used as the measurement cell, deionized water was placed in the control cell, and the measurement was performed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV-2500PC). The visible light transmittance (wavelength 660 nm) of the liquid textile product treatment compositions obtained in the examples and comparative examples was all less than 10%, indicating that they were emulsion-type liquid textile product treatment compositions. The liquid textile product treatment compositions prepared in this study can be used as liquid softener compositions, and sufficient softening effects can be obtained using conventional methods.
[0164] <Rating> Beforehand, cotton knit fabric was washed five times in a Hitachi NW-6CY automatic washing machine using a nonionic surfactant prepared by adding an average of 8 moles of ethylene oxide to a primary alcohol with 12 carbon atoms, and then air-dried indoors to remove excess chemicals. The washing conditions for each wash were: detergent concentration 0.0667% by mass, 47 L of tap water, water temperature 20°C, washing for 10 minutes, two rinses, and spin-drying for 6 minutes. After drying, the fabric was cut into pieces weighing approximately 800 mg each for use.
[0165] Bath treatment was performed using a Turgotometer (Daiei Kagaku Seiki Seisakusho). 675 μL of the above textile product treatment agent composition was added to 320 mL of tap water and stirred at 80 r / m for 1 minute. Then, 27 pieces of the above fabric were added and stirred at 80 r / m for 5 minutes. After that, the fabric was dewatered in a twin-tub washing machine for 2 minutes. To quantify the fragrance compounds remaining on the dehydrated cloths, nine cloths were placed in glass bottles, 180 mL of acetone was added, and extraction was performed by sonication for 30 minutes. The fragrance adsorption rate was calculated using liquid chromatography (Shimadzu Corporation). The fragrances used for calculating the adsorption rate were selected because they have a low logP value, are difficult to adsorb to cloth unless encapsulated, and are present in a certain amount or more for quantitative purposes. Specifically, methyl isoeugenol was used for model fragrance A-1, and methyl dihydrojasmonate was used for model fragrance A-2. For each textile product treatment agent composition, treatment was performed using the composition immediately after preparation and after it had been stored in a sealed bottle at 40°C or 50°C for a predetermined number of days. The fragrance adsorption rate for each composition was then calculated. The results are shown in Tables 3-1 and 3-2.
