Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Oral, personal, and home care products interact strongly with packaging materials, leading to product waste, shape deformation, and leakage due to adsorption and penetration, while oxygen residues cause oxidation, necessitating improved packaging solutions.
Innovation Solution
A coated packaging article with an interior surface featuring a liquid coating composed of edible oil and surfactant, which acts as a divider and lubricant to prevent interaction with packaging materials and protect against oxidation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of substance
If packaging materials are used for oral, personal, or home care products, then the products can be contained and transported, but the ingredients adsorb and/or absorb to the packaging surface causing product waste
Solution Approach 1:
A coating layer is applied to the interior surface of the packaging to act as an intermediary barrier between the packaging material and the product ingredients. This coating prevents direct contact and adsorption/absorption interactions, thereby reducing product waste while maintaining packaging functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
A thin film coating is applied to the interior surface of the packaging. This flexible coating layer serves as a protective barrier that prevents ingredient interaction with the packaging material, ensuring complete product dispensing while maintaining packaging integrity.
2Reliability
If packaging materials are used for oral, personal, or home care products, then the products can be contained, but the ingredients penetrate through the interior surface causing packaging function loss
Solution Approach 1:
The coating serves as an intermediary layer that blocks ingredient penetration through the packaging interior surface. This barrier prevents harmful interactions between product ingredients and packaging material, maintaining packaging function and preventing shape deformation.
Solution Approach 2:
A thin film coating is applied to the interior surface to create a protective barrier that prevents ingredient penetration. This flexible film maintains packaging integrity and prevents shape deformation while blocking chemical interactions.
3Quantity of substance
If packaging materials are used for oral, personal, or home care products, then the products can be contained, but interactions between ingredients and packaging alter product composition
Solution Approach 1:
The coating acts as an intermediary barrier that prevents direct interactions between packaging materials and product ingredients. This maintains the original product composition and stability by blocking chemical and physical interactions that would otherwise alter the product.
Solution Approach 2:
A thin film coating is applied to create a protective barrier that preserves product composition. This coating prevents ingredient-packaging interactions that would alter product chemistry, ensuring product stability throughout the storage and usage period.
4Shape
If packaging materials are used for oral, personal, or home care products, then the products can be contained, but packaging shape deformation and product leaking occur
Solution Approach 1:
The coating serves as an intermediary protective layer that prevents ingredients from deforming the packaging structure. This barrier eliminates direct chemical interactions that cause shape deformation and prevents product leaking, maintaining packaging function.
Solution Approach 2:
A thin film coating is applied to the interior surface to prevent packaging shape deformation. This flexible film maintains structural integrity and prevents product leaking while blocking harmful ingredient-packaging interactions.
5Adaptability or versatility
If oxygen residues are present in the product, then the product can be formulated with water and other ingredients, but oxidation occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The coating acts as an intermediary barrier that isolates the product from oxygen residues in the packaging environment. This protective layer prevents oxidation of product ingredients while allowing the product to be formulated with water and other necessary ingredients.
Solution Approach 2:
A thin film coating is applied to create an oxygen-barrier layer that protects the product from oxidation. This flexible film allows product formulation with water-based ingredients while blocking oxygen residues from causing oxidative degradation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The coating effectively prevents product interaction with packaging, maintains stability, and ensures complete dispensing, while providing antioxidant protection.
Implementation Method 1
The ingredients of the product may adsorb and/or absorb to the surface of the packaging
Implementation Method 2
The ingredients of the product may adsorb and/or absorb to the surface of the packaging
Implementation Method 3
oxygen residues exist in almost all products due to its presence in water and other ingredients for formulating the products. Thus, there is a need for protecting the product from oxidation due to residual oxygen introduced during manufacturing
Implementation Method 4
the coating may include an edible oil and a surfactant
