Nail Coating Remover Cream Mask Film Formation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current nail coating removers, such as those using acetone, often damage nails and require cumbersome application methods, and existing products with thickening agents face manufacturing challenges due to limitations in solvent volatility and polymer concentrations.
Innovation Solution
A nail coating remover cream mask comprising a film-forming agent, solvents, and a moisture agent, which forms a film on the nail coating to maintain solvent contact and dissolve the coating, allowing for efficient removal without damaging the nail.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If acetone is used as a nail coating remover, then the nail coating can be removed effectively, but the nail is greatly damaged and the application process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a film-forming polymer as an intermediary substance between the acetone solvent and the nail. This polymer forms a protective film that allows acetone to dissolve the nail coating while preventing direct contact between acetone and the nail plate, thereby reducing nail damage while maintaining removal effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite removal system combining acetone (solvent), film-forming polymer (protective agent), and conditioning ingredients. This composite formulation works synergistically to remove nail coating while protecting and conditioning the nail, resolving the contradiction between removal efficiency and nail health
2Ease of operation
If thickening agents such as alkyl cellulose are added to create a creamy status, then the product has a desirable consistency, but manufacturing becomes difficult due to solvent volatility and polymer concentration limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state parameters of the formulation by using a film-forming polymer that creates a cream mask structure. This allows the product to maintain a stable creamy consistency without relying on traditional thickening agents that cause manufacturing issues, enabling both desirable applyability and manufacturing feasibility
3Productivity
If traditional acetone removal method is used with cotton ball and aluminum foil, then the nail coating can be removed, but the process is cumbersome and requires multiple steps
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the solvent, protective film-forming agent, and conditioning ingredients into a single integrated cream mask formulation. This eliminates the need for separate cotton balls, aluminum foil, and multiple tools, simplifying the application process to a single step while maintaining removal effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The cream mask formulation serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a solvent carrier, forms a protective film, conditions the nail, and facilitates removal. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for multiple separate products and steps, resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and process simplicity
