Definitions
- the present invention relates to air care products and, in particular, to products which are capable of diffusing perfume or deodorising components into the surrounding air.
- Solid state devices are also known which comprise solid materials or carriers impregnated with an active ingredient . Such devices may be formed of various materials which are capable of absorbing the ingredient and subsequently releasing it in a more or less controlled manner. Examples of such known materials include gels, such as agar-agar or sodium stearate gels, synthetic polymer resins, or blocks of mineral material, e.g. plaster or silica. Solid state devices have the advantage that ⁇ hey are easy to handle and can be easily shaped. Typically, the solid state devices are enclosed within a housing with one or more grills which communicate with the surrounding air .
- WO 96/05870 discloses a device for perfuming, deodorising or sanitising air or enclosed spaces which comprises an anhydrous gel element. Such a device is capable cf diffusing volatile substances at a relatively constant rate throughout the entire lifetime of the device and, furthermore, is capable of releasing substantially all of the volatile substance into the air or enclosed space within its effective lifetime.
- the devices of WO 96/05870 although practically very useful, are unattractive since they are in the form of substantially colourless gels. However, because of the manner in which the gels are formed we found zhat it was difficult to incorporate dyes or colourants ir. ⁇ o the gels. Many dyes would not disperse within he system and resulted in unattractive non-homogenous products in which the dye was not uniformly dispersed therethrough. Neither the colourless gels of WO 96/05870, nor the non- homogenous coloured gels would be attractive to the purchaser of such devices which generally will be on display in the room or space vrhich they are intended to perfume or deodorise.
- the present invention provides a coloured anhydrous gel element for perfuming or deodorising air or enclosed spaces which gel element is formed by cross-linking a functionalised liquid polymer selected from maleinised pclytutadier.e, maleinised polyisoprene or a copolymer of ethylene and maleic anhydride with a cross-linking agent which contains at least one complementary functional group in the presence of a non-aqueous perfume or deodorising base and at least one metal-free solvent dye which is soluble in the non- aqueous perfume or deodorising base cr which is provided as a solution in a non-aqueous solvent which is compatible which the non-aquec s perfume or deodorising base .
- a functionalised liquid polymer selected from maleinised pclytutadier.e, maleinised polyisoprene or a copolymer of ethylene and maleic anhydride with a cross-linking agent which contains at least one complementary functional group in the presence
- the present invention also provides a process for preparing a coloured gel element as defined above which comprises cross-linking the functionalised liquid polymer with the cross-linking agent in the presence of the non- aqueous perfume or deodorising base and at least one metal-free solvent dye.
- the term “functionalised liquid polymer” as used herein is meant a material which is liquid at room temperature and which has a. viscosity of not more than 5 PaS at 25°C, preferably from 0.25 to 1.0 Pas.
- the functionalised liquid polymer which is used in the present invention s preferably a maleinised polybutadiene having a number average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 21,000 cr a maleinised polyisoprene having a number average molecular weight of from 200,200 to 500,000. Examples of these materials are given in EP-A- 0023084. These materials are commercially available and are sold under the trade name LITHENE (Revertex Limited) .
- LITHENE N4-B-l ⁇ :--A and LITHENE N4-5000-10MA are also particularly useful.
- the liquid polymer may comprise a copolymer of ethylene and maleic anhydride, for example.
- cross-linking agents which may be used in forming the anhydrous gels are as follows:
- CRODAMET cleylami e having 2 ethylene oxide units per molecule
- JEFFAMINE Huntsman Corporation
- D and ED series for example JEFFAMINE D-400, JEFFAMINE EDR-148 and Jeffamine D-2000;
- polyoxyalkylenetriamines such as those sold under the trade name JEFFAMINE (Huntsman
- T series for example JEFFAMINE T-403.
- polybutadiene having a hydroxylic functionality known as HFPB (Revertex Limited) which gellifies when admixed with maleinised polybutadiene.
- HFPB hydroxylic functionality
- specific catalysts allow a better control of the gel formation and examples of such catalysts are the tertiary amines (e.g. DAMA 1010; origin: Albermarle SA) .
- Mixtures cf Hycar CTBN 1300 x 21 which is an amine terminated liquid polybutadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer (origin: E.F. Goodrich) and maleinised polybutadiene are particularly advantageous.
- the functionalised liquid polymer and the cross- linking agent are mixed in a molar ratio of between 3:1 and 5:1 preferably of about 1:1, based on the molar ratio cf the functional groups which are present.
- the perfume base which is used in the device of the invention may comprise any of the current bases used in perfumery. These can be discrete chemicals; more often, however, they are more or less complex mixtures of ⁇ 'olatile liquid ingredients of natural or synthetic crigin. The nature of these ingredients can be found in specialised books of perfumery, e.g. in S . Arctander ⁇ Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, Montclair N.J., USA 1969) cr Perfumery, Wiley-Intersciences, New York, USA 1994.
- the perfume base may be replaced by a deodorising base, such as a base which comprises a deodorising composition.
- the characteristic feature of all the compositions of the present invention is that the liquid polymer, cross- linking agent and dye which are used in the preparation of the gellified composition are all soluble in the perfume or deodorising base.
- one or more of the liquid polymer, cross-linking agent or dye may be dissolved in a solvent which is compatible with the perfume of deodorising base, but generally this is not necessary since the components will dissolve in the active base.
- the perfume or deodorising base is non-aqueous and will generally constitute from 50 to 95% by weight, preferably from 60 to 90% by weight, more preferably from 70 to 85% by weight of the gel element.
- Optional additives which may be included in the gel composition include plasticisers such as diethylphthalate .
- Examples of suitable classes of dyes which may be used in the present invention are monoazo dyes, diazo dyes, anthraquinone dyes or methine dye, provided that the dyes are metal-free solvent dyes.
- Specific examples of dyes which may be successfully used in the present invention are:
- Dyes such as those listed above are generally in powder form. Accordingly, in orcer to be useful in the present invention the dye is generally soluble in the perfume or deodorising base. Hov.-ever, it may be possible to use some dyes which are either net soluble in or insufficiently soluble in the said base by using the dyes as concentrated solutions in a ncn-aqueous solvent which is compatible with the base.
- a relatively small amount of dye will be sufficient to colour the anhydrous gel, for example amounts of from 0.01 to 1.0% by v;eight, typically about 0.05% by weight based on the gel element, may be used.
- the anhydrous gel element of the present invention may be used as the active element of a solid state air freshening or deodorising device with the gel element being incorporated within a housing with one or more grilles which communicate with the ambient air.
- the gel element may be formed in situ within the recesses or grooves of a solid casing or housing.
- This type of device does not require the use of a grille to cover the gel element .
- the recesses or grooves of the solid casing or housing are filled with.
- the mixture of functionalised liquid polymer, cross- linking agent, perfume or deodorising base and dye and the cross-linking reaction to form the gel takes place in si tu .
- the gel so- formed thus adheres to the sides and/or bottom of the recesses or groove in order to provide an integral structure.
