Description

Composition for cold packs and packs containing the same {Composition-of-matter for poulticing and packs for containing the same}

The present invention relates to a composition for cold packs and a pack for cold packs containing the same, and a composition for cold packs having a characteristic of freezing in a gel state by adding an antifreeze material and a super absorbent polymer to water, and a pack of packs filled with the composition.

Existing poultice packs used to relieve swelling, inflammation, etc. after surgery, or those used for skin poultice, include glycerin only, or mixtures of glycerin, germanium, jade powder and ocher powder. However, these products have almost the same effect when heated, but have a much lower effect on the cold pack than ice packs that are frozen in pure water.

However, the most effective ice pack (or ice pack) for cold packs is to put ice in a bag made of rubber or synthetic resin and place it on the affected part or to massage the necessary part. There is a problem that it is difficult to use in narrow areas or jaw areas.

In order to improve the above problems, the applicant invented a cold pack composition and a pack of packs filled with the composition, paying attention to freezing in a gel state, unlike pure water, when glycerol or propylene glycol is mixed with pure water. .

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a composition for cold packs in which a floating material and a super absorbent polymer are added to water to freeze fluidly in a gel state.

Another object of the present invention, to provide a pack for the cold pack made so that the cold compress and hot pack to the affected part containing the composition.

Cold pack composition

Components of the cold pack composition according to the present invention comprises 55 to 79% by weight of water, 20 to 40% by weight of antifreeze material, 1 to 5% by weight of a super absorbent polymer.

The antifreeze material may be either glycerin or propylene glycol, and the superabsorbent polymer may be hydrolized polyacrylonitrile, carbohydrate acrylic copolymer, or polyacrylate. acrylate) and polyacrylamide (poly-acrylamide).

Preferably, the component ratio of water: floating material: polymer in the constituent ratio is 72: 27: 1.

Hereinafter, the Example of the composition which concerns on this invention is described.

Cold contents according to the present invention is added to a pure water, a super-absorbent polymer (advanced material) that absorbs water up to 50 to 100 times with a floating material such as glycerin or propylene glycol, water does not stiffly slush ( To freeze in the form of corn.

Glycerin or propylene glycol does not dissolve in water, so it does not freeze, so 55 to 79% by weight of water does not freeze as a whole, and the superabsorbent polymer absorbs all of 55 to 79% by weight even in small amounts. Therefore, even if the composition according to the present invention is frozen in the refrigerator, only the polymer particles containing water freeze into ice chunks, but glycerin or propylene glycol mixed therebetween serves to prevent ice chunks from sticking to each other. .

As superabsorbent polymers, commercial products are now available. For example, "SGP147" by Henkel Corporation, "SGP502S" by General Mills Chemicals, "Water Lock" by Grain Processing Corporation.

Table 1 shows the basis for determining the component ratio of the composition according to the present invention. Table 1 shows the results of sensory tests of the results of freezing in a freezer in a synthetic resin pack by varying the composition ratio of the composition according to the present invention. As shown in Table 1, when glycerin (or propylene glycol) is 20% or less, it hardens and hardly differs from the ice mass produced by pure water.When glycerin is 40% or more, it hardly freezes and adheres well to skin. Does not contain enough cold effect does not last long. Applicants' test results show that the composition according to the present invention exhibits an optimal effect when the water: glycerine: polymer ratio is 72: 27: 1.

Component ratio (water: glycerin: polymer) characteristic 79: 20: 1 Cold air lasts for a long time, but it is hard to adhere to the skin, so it is not suitable for soft skin or surgical area. 59: 40: 1 It is very soft to the touch, so it is easy to use on sensitive areas, but the cold ice effect does not last long due to the low ice grains. 72: 27: 1 By containing a large amount of fine ice cubes without hard freezing, the slush-type poultice pack adheres seamlessly to the affected area, making it easy to use on soft skin areas or surgical sites, and shows the optimal condition of long-lasting cold effect.

As such, the composition according to the present invention does not freeze hard as pure water, but freezes in a slush form to form a gel. That is, even if frozen in a pack of synthetic resin, such as frozen ice gently so that fine ice powder is rubbed by hand. Therefore, it can be adhered to the affected part of any shape and cold-pressed.

Poultice Pack

The present invention also comprises a cold pack containing the composition for the cold pack comprises one or more poultices to be in close contact with the affected part, and the fixing part for fixing the poultice pack in close contact with the affected part to the affected part. It starts.
