Definitions
- the present invention relates to foamable alcohol compositions, systems for dispensing the compositions and methods for the use of the compositions.
- Foamable soap products contain a significant quantity of air. While these compositions can be economically manufactured as compared with non-foamable compositions, the formulation of foamable compositions comprising a high alcohol content has generally required the compositions to be provided as aerosol products which include a propellant (e.g., hydrocarbon, fluorocarbon, compressed gas) to facilitate foaming when the composition is dispensed from an aerosol container.
- a propellant e.g., hydrocarbon, fluorocarbon, compressed gas
- aerosol compositions can also include polymeric gelling agents, moderately high molecular weight (e.g., C 16 to C 22 ) alcohols and nonionic surfactants, for example. Aerosol products are costly to manufacture because of the need for a pressurized container and the inclusion of a foaming propellant.
- non-aerosol soap products having a high alcohol content surfactants have been included in such compositions to facilitate some level of foaming when the compositions are dispensed through a mechanical pump or the like.
- Surfactants can facilitate at least some degree of initial foaming, but such non-aerosol foams are often unstable and tend to collapse as soon as they are dispensed.
- fluorochemical surfactants While some fluorochemical surfactants have been known to facilitate more stable foams in non-aerosol compositions, fluorochemical surfactants may raise environmental concerns.
- the present invention provides a composition, comprising:
- (C) Builder the builder in an amount sufficient to provide stability or to improve the stability of a foam formed from the composition.
- the invention provides a system comprising a container and the composition as described above, the composition contained within the container under pressure and a propellant present within the composition.
- the invention provides a system comprising a dispenser comprising a reservoir and a hand pump; and the composition as described above contained within the reservoir.
- the invention provides a skin sanitizer comprising the composition as described above.
- the invention provides a pre-surgical hand scrub comprising the composition as described above.
- the invention provides a method for sanitizing a surface, comprising applying a volume of the composition as described above to the surface, the composition being in the form of a stable foam.
- Builder refers to a material that can be incorporated as a component in the compositions of the invention to aid in the creation of a stable foam when the composition is dispensed from an aerosol or a non-aerosol dispenser.
- Compositions comprising a builder can produce lower foam densities (greater volume) as compared to the same volume of the composition in the absence of the builder.
- “Emollient” as used herein refers broadly to materials which are capable of maintaining or improving the moisture level, compliance, or appearance of the skin.
- “Foam” refers to a frothy mass of bubbles formed on or from a liquid (e.g., the compositions of the invention).
- HLB means the “hydrophile-liphophile balance,” or the balance between the oil soluble and water soluble moieties in a surface active molecule or surfactant.
- Polymer as used herein refers to a natural or synthetic molecule having repetitive units and a number average molecular weight of at least 20,000.
- poly(propylene oxide) and “poly(ethylene oxide)” are intended to be synonymous with “polypropylene glycol” or “PPG” and “polyethylene glycol” or “PEG,” respectively.
- Poly(propylene oxide) and poly(ethylene oxide) are also abbreviated herein as “PPO” and “PEO,” respectively.
- solvent solvent system
- hydroalcoholic solvent hydroalcoholic solvent
- “Stable,” as used when referring to a foamed composition, refers to foam that maintains a measurable height for a period of time of at least about 5 seconds following creation of the foam (e.g., by shaking the composition or by dispensing the composition from an aerosol or non-aerosol dispenser at ambient temperature). The stability of a particular foam may further be expressed in terms of the height of the foam after a measured period of time (e.g., 6 mm after 1 minute). Foam height measurements are further discussed in the Examples.

- Foam Pump A foam pump nozzle was used to generate foam from each composition.
- the pump used was a pump dispenser, product Code F2, type F2-L11 255/150, available from Airspray International Inc. of North Pompano Beach, Fla.
- Foam Collection vial Vials were used to collect foam from the pump dispenser while the foam height was being measured.
- the vials were made of glass and were of either 40 or 80 mm height having a 25 mm internal diameter and a 27 mm outer diameter.
- the Foam Pump was used to assess the foam forming property of the compositions.
- the pump was rinsed between samples with deionized water by pumping water through the pump until it came out clear.
- the pump dip tube was removed from the water and then pumped dry of residual water and then placed in the composition to be tested.
- the pump was then pumped 3 times to prime the pump and then 3 more times to purge solution through the nozzle to ensure the system was ready.
- three pumps worth of foam were collected in a collection vial by pumping slowly at a speed of about 1 second for each pump.
- the vial containing the foam was placed on a flat surface, a timer was started and a small ruler with millimeter increments was used to measure the approximate height of the foam, ignoring the height of any remaining unfoamed composition.
- the time to measure the foam height usually took about 5 seconds. Any composition producing a foam which was not stable at least 5 seconds was considered unstable and rated 0 mm.
- the foam height was estimated to be the average height of the foam. A rating of 0 mm was given if the top of the solution was void of foam in any spot, usually the center. The foam height was recorded after 1, 3 and 5 minutes to determine the long term stability of the foam.
- the percentage of foam volume increase over the solution volume was calculated by measuring the foam height in millimeters, subtracting 5 mm from the foam height and dividing the result by 5 (the volume of the un-foamed pumped solution) and multiplying by 100%.
- Foam volume % increase measurements were made immediately following creation of the foam (e.g., after dispensing). Due to the difficulty in determining the exact foam surface, foam heights between 0-5 mm were reported as having a zero percent increase in foam volume.
- Viscosity in centipoise was measured at 23° C. at ambient pressure using a Brookfield viscometer Model LVT equipped with a Brookfield LV spindle #1 @ 60 rpm. All samples were allowed to equilibrate at 23° C. for 24 hours prior to measurement. The viscosity was taken at the lowest speed possible while staying within 10-100% of the viscometer range and more preferably between 20-80% of the range. The viscosity was read after one minute of testing. In all cases the sample size and container geometry was chosen to ensure that there were no wall effects. By “wall effects” it is meant the viscosity value is not affected by the container and is essentially equivalent to the viscosity taken in an infinitely large container. For this reason lower viscosity samples required a larger sample size to accommodate the larger spindles.

Abstract
A composition, systems for dispensing the composition and methods for the use of the composition are described. The composition comprises:
-
- (A) Monohydric alcohol in an amount sufficient to provide antimicrobial activity;
- (B) Surfactant comprising a dimethicone surfactant; and
- (C) Builder, the builder in an amount sufficient to provide stability or to improve the stability of a foam formed from the composition.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/552,126, filed Sep. 1, 2009, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/151,563, filed Jun. 13, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,651,990, which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to foamable alcohol compositions, systems for dispensing the compositions and methods for the use of the compositions.
- Foamable soap products contain a significant quantity of air. While these compositions can be economically manufactured as compared with non-foamable compositions, the formulation of foamable compositions comprising a high alcohol content has generally required the compositions to be provided as aerosol products which include a propellant (e.g., hydrocarbon, fluorocarbon, compressed gas) to facilitate foaming when the composition is dispensed from an aerosol container. These aerosol compositions can also include polymeric gelling agents, moderately high molecular weight (e.g., C16 to C22) alcohols and nonionic surfactants, for example. Aerosol products are costly to manufacture because of the need for a pressurized container and the inclusion of a foaming propellant.
- In the formulation of non-aerosol soap products having a high alcohol content, surfactants have been included in such compositions to facilitate some level of foaming when the compositions are dispensed through a mechanical pump or the like. Surfactants can facilitate at least some degree of initial foaming, but such non-aerosol foams are often unstable and tend to collapse as soon as they are dispensed. While some fluorochemical surfactants have been known to facilitate more stable foams in non-aerosol compositions, fluorochemical surfactants may raise environmental concerns.
- There is a need to provide foamable alcohol-containing compositions that are formulated to be anti-microbial and which can be applied to the skin (e.g., the hands). There is a need for alcohol-containing compositions that will form a stable foam in the absence of an aerosol propellant and which will deliver alcohol to the skin for rapid skin disinfection. Within the foregoing need, it is desirable to provide foamable, low viscosity, alcohol-containing compositions that are safe and efficacious while providing properties that may be desired by the consumer.
- In one aspect, the present invention provides a composition, comprising:
- (A) Monohydric alcohol in an amount sufficient to provide antimicrobial activity;
- (B) Surfactant comprising a dimethicone surfactant; and
- (C) Builder, the builder in an amount sufficient to provide stability or to improve the stability of a foam formed from the composition.
- In another aspect, the invention provides a system comprising a container and the composition as described above, the composition contained within the container under pressure and a propellant present within the composition.
- In still another aspect, the invention provides a system comprising a dispenser comprising a reservoir and a hand pump; and the composition as described above contained within the reservoir.
- In still another aspect, the invention provides a skin sanitizer comprising the composition as described above.
- In still another aspect, the invention provides a pre-surgical hand scrub comprising the composition as described above.
- In still another aspect, the invention provides a method for sanitizing a surface, comprising applying a volume of the composition as described above to the surface, the composition being in the form of a stable foam.
- It will be appreciated that the terms used herein will be understood as being defined according to the understanding of those skilled in the art at the time of the present invention. However, certain terms used herein shall be understood as having the meaning that is expressly set forth herein:
- “Builder” refers to a material that can be incorporated as a component in the compositions of the invention to aid in the creation of a stable foam when the composition is dispensed from an aerosol or a non-aerosol dispenser. Compositions comprising a builder can produce lower foam densities (greater volume) as compared to the same volume of the composition in the absence of the builder.
- “Emollient” as used herein refers broadly to materials which are capable of maintaining or improving the moisture level, compliance, or appearance of the skin.
- “Foam” refers to a frothy mass of bubbles formed on or from a liquid (e.g., the compositions of the invention).
- “HLB” means the “hydrophile-liphophile balance,” or the balance between the oil soluble and water soluble moieties in a surface active molecule or surfactant.
- “Polymer” as used herein refers to a natural or synthetic molecule having repetitive units and a number average molecular weight of at least 20,000.
- As used herein, “poly(propylene oxide)” and “poly(ethylene oxide)” are intended to be synonymous with “polypropylene glycol” or “PPG” and “polyethylene glycol” or “PEG,” respectively. Poly(propylene oxide) and poly(ethylene oxide) are also abbreviated herein as “PPO” and “PEO,” respectively.
- “Solvent”, “solvent system” or “hydroalcoholic solvent” as used herein refer to the alcohol and water combination in the present invention.
- “Stable,” as used when referring to a foamed composition, refers to foam that maintains a measurable height for a period of time of at least about 5 seconds following creation of the foam (e.g., by shaking the composition or by dispensing the composition from an aerosol or non-aerosol dispenser at ambient temperature). The stability of a particular foam may further be expressed in terms of the height of the foam after a measured period of time (e.g., 6 mm after 1 minute). Foam height measurements are further discussed in the Examples.
- Those skilled in the art will more fully understand the various features and aspect of the invention upon consideration of the remainder of the disclosure, including the Detailed Description, the Examples and the appended claims.
- The invention provides a foamable composition comprised of alcohol, surfactant and builder. The compositions of the invention may be aqueous compositions. Optional ingredients such as antimicrobials and/or emollients, for example, may be included to provide or enhance the properties of the compositions. The compositions of the invention provide the benefits of a foam for the disinfection of skin by providing a composition with a sheer thinning viscosity that is better than that for gelled compositions and which can be more easily rubbed onto sensitive tissue. Additionally, the compositions of the invention generally will dry quicker than a gel following application to a surface such as the hands, for example.
- The compositions of the invention will include at least one alcohol that provides the ability to rapidly kill a broad spectrum of microbes. The compositions of the invention are suitable for use on the skin or other surfaces and may be used as a disinfectant for the hands, for example. In embodiments of the invention, the alcohol or alcohols are monohydric alcohols. Typically, the compositions of the invention comprise alcohols having lower hydrocarbon chain lengths such as C2 to C4 alcohols. In some embodiments, the compositions of the invention comprise a single alcohol. In other embodiments, a blend of two or more alcohols may be present. In some embodiments, the alcohol will consist of ethanol. In still other embodiments, the alcohol will consist of propanol (e.g., n-propanol and/or isopropanol). In still other embodiments, the alcohol will consist of butanol (e.g., n-butanol, sec-butanol and tert-butanol). In some embodiments the alcohol is dissolved in water to provide an alcohol-water solvent.
- Embodiments of the invention may comprise compositions having an alcohol content between about 35% and about 99.5% by weight. In some embodiments, the compositions of the invention will have an alcohol content within the range from about 60% to about 80%. Compositions having an alcohol content within the foregoing ranges typically provide an efficacious bacterial kill.
- At least one surfactant is present in the compositions of the invention. In some embodiments, surfactant may be present in the compositions of the invention at concentration ranges from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In some embodiments, the surfactant may be present in a composition at a concentration ranging from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain surfactants may impart a tacky or even a greasy feel to a composition when the surfactant concentration is greater than 5% by weight. While such surfactant concentrations are contemplated as within the scope of the invention, the skilled artisan may wish to consider the cosmetic effects of surfactant concentrations when formulating a composition for use by the consumer. In some embodiments, the compositions of the invention are formulated with non-fluorinated surfactants and without the need for fluorochemical propellants.

- Combinations of two or more of the foregoing dimethicone surfactants in a single composition are also contemplated within the scope of the invention
- At least one builder may be included in the compositions of the invention in order to stabilize the foams produced from the compositions when the compositions are shaken, or when they are dispensed from either an aerosol or a non-aerosol dispenser. In some embodiments, the inclusion of certain builders can provide cosmetic attributes to the compositions of the invention. Suitable builders can include one or more of the following: poly(ethylene oxide), hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose.

In some embodiments, the builder will comprise a poly(ethylene oxide) having an average molecular weight in the range from about 200,000 to about 4,000,000. One poly(ethylene oxide) suitable for use in the compositions of the invention is that know under the designation POLYOX™ and commercially available from Dow Chemical Canada Inc., Sarnia, Ontario. Suitable POLYOX compositions include those designated as “WSR N12K” having an average molecular weight of 1,000,000; “WSR-301” having an average molecular weight of 4,000,000; “WSR N60K” having an average molecular weight of 2,000,000; and “WSR N-80” having an average molecular weight of 200,000.
- The builder, when included in the compositions of the invention, may be present at a concentration between about 0.001% and about 5% by weight. In some embodiments, the builder may be present at concentrations less than or equal to about 0.1%. In some embodiments, the builder is present in the composition at concentrations of about 0.06%.
- In general, the builder enhances the stability of the foam produced when the composition of the invention is shaken or when the composition is dispensed.

- The compositions of the invention will typically be of very low viscosities at 23° C. In some embodiments, the compositions of the invention can have different viscosities depending on the state of the composition. For example, a composition in a pre-dispensed condition, i.e., it is in a “pre-foamed” state in a dispenser prior to being dispensed, can have a viscosity within the range from about 0.5 to about 100 cps at 23° C. In some embodiments, the prefoam viscosities of compositions of the invention will range from about 0.5 cps to about 50 cps. In still other embodiments, the prefoam viscosities of compositions of the invention will range from about 0.5 cps to about 20 cps. When a composition of the invention is dispensed from a non-aerosol pump-type dispenser, the composition will foam, and the foam will typically be of a higher viscosity than the viscosity of the liquid “non-foamed”composition prior to dispensing. It will also be appreciated that the addition of an emollient and/or other optional ingredients (discussed herein) can also have an affect on viscosity (either positively or negatively).
- The compositions of the invention will foam when shaken of dispensed from a dispenser. It will be appreciated that the foam densities of the compositions can vary depending on any of a variety of factors. For example, the viscosity of the unfoamed composition, discussed above, can have an effect on foam density. Moreover, the design of the dispenser or the non-aerosol pump used to deliver the foamed composition can have an effect on the foam density of the composition to the extent that the dispenser and/or the pump effect the foaming of the composition. Additionally, the amount of force applied to the pump and the relative speed at which the pump is operated when dispensing the composition can also have an effect on the foaming of the composition and its resulting viscosity.
- In addition to alcohol-water, surfactant and builder, the compositions of the present invention may optionally include other ingredients such as salts, emollients, stabilizers, antimicrobials, fragrances, therapeutic agents, propellants and additional emulsifiers. Each of these optional ingredients along with the effect each has upon the properties of the final composition is discussed below.
- Emollients can optionally be added to the compositions of the invention so that the compositions can be provided in a form that is capable of increasing the moisture content of the stratum corneum when the composition is applied to a user's hands, for example. Emollients are generally separated into two broad classes based on their function. The first class of emollients function by forming an occlusive barrier to prevent water evaporation from the stratum corneum. The second class of emollients penetrate into the stratum corneum and physically bind water to prevent evaporation. The first class of emollients is subdivided into compounds which are waxes at room temperature and compounds which are liquid oils. The second class of emollients includes those which are water soluble and are often referred to as humectants.
- As referred to herein, the alcohol-water, surfactant and builder components used in the compositions of the invention are separate and distinct from components identified as emollients and optionally added to the composition. Emollients may be added to the compositions in addition to the aforementioned silicone block surfactants and builder compounds which may also aid in maintaining or improving the skin condition of the user. In some embodiments, added emollients may be included the compositions of the invention at a concentration between about 0 and about 30% by weight. In some embodiments, the added emollient can be present in the composition at a concentration between about 0.5% and about 20%. In still other embodiments, the emollient concentration can be between about 1% and about 12% by weight. Suitable emollients may be selected from any of the classes known in the art. A general list of useful emollients appears, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,478,853 and in EPO patent application 0 522 624A1 as well as in the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook published by The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, Wash. D.C. (1992) under the listings “Skin Conditioning agents,” “emollients,” “humectants,” “miscellaneous” and “occlusive.”
- In some embodiments, suitable emollients may be chosen from the following nonlimiting list of general emollients, occlusive emollients and humectants. Examples of general emollients include short chain alkyl or aryl esters (C1-C6) of long chain straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl alcohols or acids (C8-C32) and their polyethoxylated derivatives; short chain alkyl or aryl ester (C1-C6) of C4-C12 diacids or diols optionally substituted in available positions by —OH; alkyl or aryl C1-C10 esters of glycerol, pentaerythritol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, as well as polyethoxylated derivatives of these and polyethylene glycol; C12-C22 alkyl esters or ethers of polypropylene; C12-C22 alkyl esters or ethers of polypropylene/polyethylene glycol copolymer.

- The addition of one or more emollients may affect the viscosity and stability of the compositions of the present invention. In some embodiments, a single emollient may be added to the composition. In some embodiments, two or more emollients may be added to the composition. While any of a variety of emollients may be added to the formulations of the present invention, some embodiments will include wax and oil type emollients either alone or combined with water soluble emollients. In some embodiments of the invention, emollient systems can be comprised of humectants in addition to occlusive wax and oil emollients in concentrations that achieve a moisturizing effect and which maintains and improves the condition of the skin upon repeated use. Emollients may be non-comedogenic and chosen to avoid skin irritation or sensitization reactions.
- In addition to the antimicrobial effects attributable to the presence of alcohol in the compositions of the present invention, one or more other antimicrobial agents (“secondary antimicrobial agents”) may be added to enhance the antimicrobial properties of the compositions when they are used as pre-surgical hand scrubs or pre-surgical patient skin scrub replacements, for example. In other words, the foamed composition of the present invention can deliver a secondary antimicrobial agent to the skin. In some embodiments, the secondary antimicrobial agent is added in levels up to 10% by weight of the total composition. In some embodiments, it may be desirable to incorporate a secondary antimicrobial agent in the compositions of the invention to provide continued antimicrobial resistance to the growth or regrowth of the microorganisms following evaporation of the alcohol.
- Non-limiting examples of suitable secondary antimicrobial agents include parachlorometaxylenol; triclosan; chlorhexidine and its salts such as chlorhexidine gluconate, poly hexamethylene biguanide and its salts such as poly hexamethylene biguanidine chloride, iodine, idodophors; fatty acid monoesters; poly-n-vinyl pyrrolidone-iodophors; silver oxide, silver and its salts, peroxides (e.g. hydrogen peroxide), antibiotics (e.g. neomycin, bacitracin, and polymixin B).

- The present invention further encompasses embodiments incorporating antimicrobials such as benzoyl peroxide so that the composition may be useful as an acne medication, for example. In some embodiments, the compositions of the present invention may also be formulated with barrier compounds to form barrier creams and lotions. Materials which may be added to provide barrier protection for use as skin barriers to protect against diaper rash include but are not limited to 0.1 to 60% aldioxa, allantoin, aluminum acetate, aluminum hydroxide, bismuth subnitrate, boric acid, calamine, cellulose (microporous), cholecalciferol, cocoa butter, cod liver oil (in combination), colloidal oatmeal, cysteine hydrochloride, dexpanthenol, dimethicone, glycerin kaolin, lanolin (in combination), live yeast cell derivative, mineral oil, peruvian balsam, peruvian balsam oil, pertrolatum, protein hydrolysate (1-leucine, 1-isoleucine, 1-methionine, 1-phenylalanine, and 1-tyrosine), racemethionine, shark liver oil, sodium bicarbonate, sulfur, talc, tannic acid, topical starch, vitamin A, white petrolatum, zinc acetate, zinc carbonate and zinc oxide.
- In some embodiments, the compositions of the invention may comprise one or more formulations containing antifungal agents for the treatment of fungal infections of the skin such as athlete's foot and the like.
- While some embodiments will include one additional secondary antimicrobial agent, other embodiments of the invention can include two or more additional secondary antimicrobials. While the foregoing secondary antimicrobials can be added to the compositions individually or singly, combinations of two or more of the foregoing secondary antimicrobials are also contemplated within the scope of the invention.
- In some embodiments, the compositions of the present invention may be formulated into non-aerosol products that can be dispensed from a reservoir using a hand-pump, for example, to dispense an amount of the composition whenever the hand pump is actuated. The amount of the composition dispensed by the pump may or may not be metered so that the amount of composition dispensed may or may not be consistent. Moreover, the compositions of the invention are not limited to being dispensed from only one type of dispenser or through only one type of hand pump.
- In some embodiments, the compositions are capable of being formulated into an aerosol foam or a mousse by addition of propellant to the composition. Suitable propellants can be chosen from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorinated alkanes, and lower alkanes (C1-C5) as well as nitrous oxide dimethyl ether and other solvent-soluble propellants. Suitable lower alkanes include propane, butane, and isobutane, for example. In some embodiments, the propellant can comprise a 70/30 mixture of propane/isobutane. In order to produce an aerosol composition the composition is first formulated and charged into an appropriate pressure rated container. A suitable propellant may then be added to the composition under pressure at approximately 2-30% preferably 3-20% by volume. The propellant may form a separate layer on the composition or the propellant may be emulsified or miscible in the composition.
- The compositions of the invention can be used in any of a variety of applications including use as a sanitizer for application to a surface. The compositions of the invention are suitable for use on mammalian skin including the human hands. In some embodiments, the compositions may be used as a pre-surgical hand scrub. In non-aerosol formulations of the invention, the compositions may be contained in a non-aerosol dispenser equipped with a conventional hand pump, and the composition may be pumped onto the hands or other areas of the body. The pumping action required to dispense the compositions will create a discrete volume of a dispensed composition in the form of a stable foam. Likewise, in embodiments comprising an aerosol, the aerosol formulation may be dispensed from a pressurized container in a discrete volume of foamed composition. After dispensing, the foam may be spread upon the surface of the skin to sanitize the skin, the hands or the like. While some residue may remain on the skin following evaporation of the alcohol component, the residue can comprise emollients or the like to provide a desired cosmetic effect. Consequently, the compositions of the invention provide a means for sanitizing skin in the form of a foamable composition which does not need to be rinsed from the skin following application of the foam to the area in need of sanitization. Alternatively, undesired residue remaining on the surface can be rinsed off with water, for example.
- From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that the present invention also encompasses systems for dispensing the compositions comprising a reservoir and an amount of composition retained therein, and means for dispensing the composition from the reservoir.
- The compositions of the present invention may be prepared by a variety of techniques and the ingredients may be added to one another in any order of addition. To ensure a composition of maximum stability, the components may be subjected to high shear (e.g. homogenized) for a limited time period.
- The following non-limiting Examples are provided to illustrate features of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. All percent amounts are weight/weight percent (wt/wt %) unless otherwise noted.
- The compositions in the Examples were prepared in 60 gram samples by combining all components in a glass jar and rolling the jar overnight, on a mechanical roller. The foam builder was introduced to the mixture by first preparing a premix of the foam builder at ranges from 0.5% to 8.0% wt/wt, prepared in water/alcohol. The appropriate weight of premix was then added to the mixture containing the other components prior to the step of mixing by rolling overnight.
- According to the Material Safety Data Sheets of certain dimethicone copolyol surfactants, the surfactants are known to contain significant quantities of PEO/PPO block copolymers of the type described herein as builders. These copolymers may be byproducts of the manufacturing process for the copolyol surfactants. The surfactants and builders used in the compositions of the Examples are listed in Tables 1 and 2.

The pump used was a pump dispenser, product Code F2, type F2-L11 255/150, available from Airspray International Inc. of North Pompano Beach, Fla.
- Foam Collection vial—Vials were used to collect foam from the pump dispenser while the foam height was being measured. The vials were made of glass and were of either 40 or 80 mm height having a 25 mm internal diameter and a 27 mm outer diameter.
- The Foam Pump was used to assess the foam forming property of the compositions. The pump was rinsed between samples with deionized water by pumping water through the pump until it came out clear. The pump dip tube was removed from the water and then pumped dry of residual water and then placed in the composition to be tested. The pump was then pumped 3 times to prime the pump and then 3 more times to purge solution through the nozzle to ensure the system was ready. Finally, three pumps worth of foam were collected in a collection vial by pumping slowly at a speed of about 1 second for each pump. The vial containing the foam was placed on a flat surface, a timer was started and a small ruler with millimeter increments was used to measure the approximate height of the foam, ignoring the height of any remaining unfoamed composition. The time to measure the foam height usually took about 5 seconds. Any composition producing a foam which was not stable at least 5 seconds was considered unstable and rated 0 mm. The foam height was estimated to be the average height of the foam. A rating of 0 mm was given if the top of the solution was void of foam in any spot, usually the center. The foam height was recorded after 1, 3 and 5 minutes to determine the long term stability of the foam.
- The percentage of foam volume increase over the solution volume was calculated by measuring the foam height in millimeters, subtracting 5 mm from the foam height and dividing the result by 5 (the volume of the un-foamed pumped solution) and multiplying by 100%. Foam volume % increase measurements were made immediately following creation of the foam (e.g., after dispensing). Due to the difficulty in determining the exact foam surface, foam heights between 0-5 mm were reported as having a zero percent increase in foam volume.
- Viscosity in centipoise (cP) was measured at 23° C. at ambient pressure using a Brookfield viscometer Model LVT equipped with a Brookfield LV spindle #1 @ 60 rpm. All samples were allowed to equilibrate at 23° C. for 24 hours prior to measurement. The viscosity was taken at the lowest speed possible while staying within 10-100% of the viscometer range and more preferably between 20-80% of the range. The viscosity was read after one minute of testing. In all cases the sample size and container geometry was chosen to ensure that there were no wall effects. By “wall effects” it is meant the viscosity value is not affected by the container and is essentially equivalent to the viscosity taken in an infinitely large container. For this reason lower viscosity samples required a larger sample size to accommodate the larger spindles.
- Examples 1-13 were prepared using various amounts of the surfactant Dow 190; plus a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) foam builder, available from Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Mich., under the trade name POLYOX™ WSR N12K; distilled water, and an alcohol solvent. Foam height measurements according to the above test method were taken for each sample. The foam height measurements and formulations for each of the Examples are set forth in Table 3.
