Solution Overview

Problem

Existing deodorizing products that use 1-para-menthen-8-thiol and 3-mercaptohexyl acetate combinations are limited in their ability to rapidly eliminate and prevent the diffusion of unpleasant odors, and the synergistic effect of combining these with undecylenic acid or its derivatives has not been explored.

Innovation Solution

A deodorizing composition comprising 1-para-menthen-8-thiol, 3-mercaptohexyl acetate, and undecylenic acid or its derivatives, which can be used in various forms such as aerosols, candles, or incorporated into solid polymer materials, effectively neutralizing odors by synergistic action.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If 1-para-menthen-8-thiol and 3-mercaptohexyl acetate are used alone or in combination, then odor masking is achieved, but rapid elimination and prevention of odor diffusion are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines three distinct deodorizing agents (1-para-menthen-8-thiol, 3-mercaptohexyl acetate, and undecylenic acid or its derivatives) into a single synergistic composition. This merging of multiple functional components achieves both rapid odor elimination and effective prevention of odor diffusion, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity in odor control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite deodorizing composition that integrates multiple chemical agents with complementary mechanisms of action. The composite formulation leverages the specific properties of each component (masking, absorption, and diffusion prevention) to achieve superior overall performance that neither individual agent could accomplish alone.
