Fabric Spray Composition Using Carbon Capture Ethoxylates
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for fabric sprays that improve fragrance performance, aesthetics, and stability while providing an environmental benefit without compromising consumer satisfaction, and addressing climate change by reducing carbon emissions.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating ingredients comprising at least one ethoxylate unit and carbon derived from carbon capture into fabric spray compositions, which enhances fragrance profiles, viscosity, and environmental profile, allowing consumers to identify eco-friendly products while maintaining fragrance quality and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional fabric spray ingredients are used, then fragrance performance and stability are maintained, but environmental impact is negative due to carbon emissions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the source parameter of carbon atoms from conventional fossil fuels to captured carbon dioxide, transforming the environmental parameter without altering the chemical structure or performance characteristics of the ethoxylate ingredients. This allows the product to reduce harmful environmental factors while maintaining reliable fragrance performance.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If eco-friendly ingredients are used, then environmental profile is improved, but fragrance quality and consumer satisfaction may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses captured carbon dioxide to create ethoxylate ingredients that copy the molecular structure and fragrance properties of conventional petrochemical-based ingredients. This copying approach allows eco-friendly substitution without sacrificing fragrance quality or consumer satisfaction.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If carbon capture ingredients are incorporated, then carbon emissions are reduced, but product viscosity and stability may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent ensures that ethoxylate ingredients derived from captured carbon maintain the same molecular homogeneity and physical properties as conventional ingredients. This homogeneity in chemical structure ensures that product stability and viscosity remain consistent, while achieving the benefit of reduced carbon emissions.
