Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional self-adhesive sanitary compositions for toilet bowls have inadequate rinsing properties and require the use of glycerin, leading to energy-intensive solidification and ecological concerns in industrial production.
Innovation Solution
A composition with an adhesion promoter and a solvent having a conductivity of at least 50 µS/cm, preferably water with electrolytes, which forms a flowable gel that adheres to the inner surface of a toilet basket, eliminating the need for glycerin and optimizing rinsing behavior without additional cooling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If glycerin or polyhydroxy compounds are added to improve rinsing properties and prevent residue formation, then the composition achieves good rinsing behavior, but the solidification process becomes slower and requires additional cooling energy
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and removes glycerin and polyhydroxy compounds from the composition entirely. The patent specifies compositions that are free from these substances, achieving rinsing properties through alternative means (the specific composition formulation) while eliminating the problematic solidification behavior associated with these compounds.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameters by excluding glycerin and polyhydroxy compounds, and by specifying particular concentration ranges of other ingredients. This parameter change modifies the solidification characteristics to enable faster setting without requiring additional cooling energy.
2Speed
If additional cooling is applied to accelerate solidification of compositions containing glycerin, then the gel sets faster, but energy consumption increases and production costs rise
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes glycerin and polyhydroxy compounds from the composition, which are the substances that cause slow solidification. By extracting these components, the composition achieves appropriate solidification speed through its inherent formulation without requiring additional cooling energy input.
Solution Approach 2:
The composition is formulated to self-regulate its solidification process through its inherent composition characteristics. The specific formulation enables the gel to solidify at an appropriate rate under normal processing conditions without requiring external cooling energy input or intervention.
3Ease of operation
If conventional self-adhesive compositions are used to achieve independent adhesion to toilet surfaces, then the product can be applied without a holder, but residues remain on the surface after rinsing
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and removes glycerin and polyhydroxy compounds from the composition. This extraction eliminates the substance class that causes residue formation on toilet surfaces, while the composition maintains its self-adhesive properties through alternative formulation components.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameters by excluding specific substances and specifying alternative ingredient ranges. This parameter modification achieves the dual goal of maintaining ease of application while eliminating harmful residue formation on surfaces.
