DESCRIPTION

FORMULATION TO INCREASE WATER DENSITY

Technical field of the invention

The present invention relates to the field of chemical formulations intended to modify the density of water and, more specifically, to increase it. The present

Invention has important applications in multiple sectors such as sports, medical and industrial.

State of the art prior to the invention

As a natural background in which the present invention has been inspired, the Dead Sea waters can be cited, whose high salinity allows a high degree of buoyancy and the practically total absence of animal and plant life.

The average composition of Dead Sea waters extracted from bibliographic data is as follows, with an average salt content of the order of 331.7 g / 1.

In the previous data, the values corresponding to bromides and sulfates have been omitted, as they are few significant. As can be seen, the Dead Sea waters have an average salt content of the order of 331.7 g / 1.

It could be extremely interesting for a wide variety of applications to artificially achieve aqueous media in which the saline content is very high.

Although many systems are known to increase or decrease the density of water for industrial uses, the applicant has directed his research efforts to the search for a formulation suitable for application in various fields: swimming pools, ponds, reservoirs, bathrooms for rehabilitation centers, baths for dermatological treatments, beauty center baths and liquid containers in general in all formats, sizes and construction design.

This and other objectives have been achieved with a water density regulating formulation that constitutes

the subject matter of the present invention described more fully and in detail in the following sections.

Detailed description of the invention

More specifically, the present invention relates to a formulation intended to increase the density of water constituted by non-toxic and water-soluble salts, among which it is worth mentioning. The regulatory formulation of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises:

-75% sodium gluconate -5% monosic glutamate -1% magnesium chloride -8% sodium chloride -1% sodium carbonate -5% magnesium carbonate -5% glycerin

These salts can be incorporated into the water within a wide range of values, which can range from lg / cm3 to saturation. The present invention, as indicated in its statement, refers to a process for increasing the density of water.

For the preparation of this formulation, the above-mentioned salts are introduced into a mixing tank in a solid and dry state at room temperature and in a controlled humidity atmosphere given the high

hygroscopicity of said salts. Normally, the ambient temperature will be between 20 ° and 30 ° C and the humidity will be controlled at values of the order of 20-30.

Once all the salts have been introduced into the mixing tank, they are mixed together until a perfectly homogeneous mixture is achieved.

The formulation thus obtained can be used in the form of solid powder, as obtained from the process, by packaging them under the precise humidity control conditions, or they can be packaged in the form of a moist concentrate, maintaining the proportions indicated above. Either way is useful and advantageous for its commercialization.

The water density regulatory formulation, described in accordance with the preceding paragraphs, has proven useful in many different fields.

Among the different applications, the so-called floating pools are worth mentioning. For this application, the product of the invention is incorporated into the pool water until it reaches the desired density value to allow the buoyancy of people. This is of special interest in the world of sports because it allows the practice of swimming to inexperienced, elderly or young children with much greater safety and ease. Likewise, certain sports such as water polo and the like are greatly facilitated, where greater buoyancy considerably reduces the physical effort required to stay in the water.

Another application of great interest is in the rehabilitation centers, where many of the exercises are carried out in the water or could be performed in the water because, as is known, in such means movements are especially facilitated especially in person with difficulties for it. Well, if water already facilitates the performance of rehabilitation exercises in more or less disabled people, the possibility of doing them in water with a high density would greatly improve the following situation and the acceptance by the patient. Hence, the density regulating formulation is especially useful in this sector, allowing the control of water density based on the specific purpose intended.

Another important aspect to consider is the dermatological benefits that provide the skin with treated waters with the regulatory formulation of the present invention. Thus, it has been shown to be especially effective in cases of psoriasis, dermatitis of different etiology and other types of skin lesions. It is well known that seawater, with its high salt content, is very beneficial for this type of skin condition. With the present invention, the same or better beneficial effects are achieved because

They control artificially avoiding contamination of natural saltwater that can sometimes lead to more problems than benefits.

Continuing with the issue of pollution, the regulatory formulation of the present invention, by significantly increasing the saline content of water, exerts itself as a controlling effect of pollution preventing the development of microbes, fungi and algae. But it also has the advantage of being compatible with the antiseptic products conventionally used for the disinfection of swimming pools, rehabilitation baths, and the like, such as chlorine (incorporated in the form of sodium dichloro isocyanurate or similar products), iodine as well as algaecides and common flocculants The pollution-reducing capacity of the formulation of the present invention makes it possible to minimize the use of this type of decontaminating products or even avoid its use, which also represents a significant economic saving in maintenance costs, a healthier bath, and that sometimes these antiseptic products cause irritations or allergies.

Another application, closely related to the above, of the regulatory formulation of the present invention is the construction of artificial beaches in natural areas of land or reservoirs, in interior or coastal areas, with which all the beneficial effects on health and sea water leisure, but avoid all its inconveniences, especially pollution, the presence of jellyfish, crustaceans, etc. That are often the cause of undesirable problems.

• Another important advantage of the waters treated with the present formulation is that its freezing point is significantly reduced, being able to reach -11 ° C, whereby the water will not freeze in winter in many areas where it is currently frozen. This would avoid problems of cracks in the containers that often force the emptying of swimming pools and similar containers at the end

the bathing season, this is reinforced by the fact that the formulation of the invention imparts water stability, being sufficient to check its condition and leave it covered during the season in which it is not used. This also contributes to a significant saving of water and formulation of the invention.

EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not intended to be limiting in scope, defined exclusively by the attached claim note. EXAMPLE 1

A formulation was prepared in accordance with the present invention with the following proportions:

70% Sodium Gluconate - 10% Monosodium Glutamate - 1% Magnesium Chloride - 8% Sodium Chloride - 1% Sodium Carbonate - 5% Magnesium Carbonate - 5% Glycerin

The constituent salts of the formulation in powdered form are mixed at room temperature and under controlled humidity conditions until a perfect homogenization of the final mixture, in states according to the procedure used, can be liquid and dry, the formulation being non-corrosive or oxidant .

Humidity conditions were controlled at 23 and the ambient temperature was 23.5 ° C. the salts were mixed in the tank until perfect homogeneity. The mixture thus obtained was packaged under controlled humidity conditions and stored until further commercialization.

The formulation obtained and incorporated in test water in the proportions indicated in table 2, was studied in terms of its capacity to reduce urine contamination, the main pollutant of swimming pools. From the tests carried out with different percentages of urine, it can be concluded that:

1 .- The formulation of the invention prevents the appearance of turbidity, stabilizes the pH and prevents the decomposition of additives.
