Xyloglucan Gel Cleaning Composition for Uniform Dissolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gel cleaning agents using xyloglucan face issues with uniform dissolution, leading to reduced syneresis properties, foaming properties, and tearing or blistering, and the use of sodium lauroyl methylalanine in low concentrations results in inadequate appearance, hardness, and foaming properties.
Innovation Solution
A gel cleaning agent formulation comprising 0.8% to 4.5% xyloglucan, 7.5% to 22.5% sodium lauroyl methylalanine, 40% to 50% polyhydric alcohol, and 30% to 35% water, with a pH of 7.5 or less, and a production method involving cooling solidification and aging to enhance uniformity and hardness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If xyloglucan is used as a gel base in conventional formulations, then gel structure is formed, but uniform dissolution is difficult resulting in reduced syneresis properties and foaming properties
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by introducing sodium lauroyl methylalanine at optimized concentrations (0.1-10% by weight) and adjusting pH to 2-8, which transforms the dissolution behavior of xyloglucan and enables uniform gel formation with improved syneresis and foaming properties
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite gel system combining xyloglucan with sodium lauroyl methylalanine and polyhydric alcohols, where the interaction between these components enhances mutual solubility and produces a gel with superior uniformity, syneresis resistance, and foaming characteristics compared to pure xyloglucan gels
2Stability of the object's composition
If low concentration of sodium lauroyl methylalanine is used (0.01-0.75 parts by weight), then formulation stability is maintained, but appearance transparency and hardness are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the concentration parameter of sodium lauroyl methylalanine to 0.1-10% by weight and controls pH within 2-8, which significantly enhances gel hardness and transparency while preserving formulation stability through balanced interaction with xyloglucan and polyhydric alcohols
3Object-generated harmful factors
If conventional soap base liquid containing 10% sodium lauroyl methylalanine aqueous solution is used, then foaming action is provided, but the actual content (0.01-0.14% by weight) is too small to provide excellent appearance and hardness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent directly increases the quantity parameter of sodium lauroyl methylalanine to 0.1-10% by weight in the gel composition, which simultaneously provides sufficient foaming action and achieves excellent appearance transparency and hardness that were unattainable with conventional low concentrations
