Description

Composition for aiding ironing

The present invention relates to an ironing aid composition that is sprayed when ironing clothing and textile products, and more particularly by using a specific essential oil extracted from natural plants can prevent discoloration or discoloration of clothing and textile products, The present invention relates to an iron adjuvant composition having excellent fragrance and antibacterial effect.

In general, ironing aids containing processed starch or oxidized starch are used to further improve the wrinkle removal effect during the ironing process after washing and drying, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-18476, 88-4294. No. 87-288644 and the like. However, the paste such as processed starch or oxidized starch is easy to press under high temperature, and can cause yellowing or staining, so it can not be used for clothing of wool or high-grade rayon system, and can not be used when using a steam iron.

Accordingly, there has been a demand for an ironing aid composition which is free from damages such as discoloration and discoloration of clothing and textile products and safety concerns to the human body.

In addition, fabric softeners are used to give fragrance effects to textiles and clothing during the washing process at home. Recently, products that give fragrance effects to clothing deodorants are gradually increasing, and as the interest in hygiene increases, And products related to antibacterial and sterilization are increasing in laundry detergents related to textiles. However, these products tend to damage fibers because the fragrance does not last for a long time or mainly uses synthetic raw materials, and there is a risk of harming the human body such as allergies and skin spots, although the degree varies depending on the individual. There is a risk of causing problems with its own stability.

Accordingly, the present applicant has completed the ironing aid composition which can impart antimicrobial and fragrance functions during the ironing process instead of improving the problems of the ironing aid composition and at the same time using the fabric softener having the above problems.

The present invention has been provided to efficiently solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of the ironing aid having antibacterial and fragrance efficacy without damages such as discoloration or discoloration in clothing and textile products and safety to the human body It is to provide a composition.

In order to achieve the above object, the iron adjuvant composition according to the present invention includes a component selected from the group consisting of basil oil, marjoram oil, lemongrass oil, clover oil, bay oil, cumin oil, time oil or a mixture of two or more thereof. 0.001 to 1% by weight and the balance comprises water.

In addition, the ironing aid composition of the present invention is characterized in that it further comprises 0.1 to 10% by weight of lower alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The ironing aid composition of the present invention is configured to include essentially water and ingredients selected from the group consisting of basil oil, marjoram oil, lemongrass oil, clover oil, bay oil, cumin oil, time oil or a mixture of two or more thereof. Other ethanol may be additionally added.

The oil components are selected only from volatile oils extracted by extruding or steam distillation of various natural plants (hereinafter referred to as "essential oils"), especially essential oils having excellent antibacterial properties. These are natural mixtures of various chemicals and, unlike fatty oils, evaporate without leaving residue. In addition, it has a scent and has the characteristic of the original plant or flower and is extracted from twigs, roots, fruits, fruit bark, bark, seeds, trees, leaves, flowers, stems, and the like. Generally, it is used as a fragrance of about 300 species, and an essential oil of a kind of natural plant contains about 100 compounds, and terpene, alcohol, ester, aldehyde, ketone, and phenolic are typical components.

Hereafter, basil oil, marjoram oil, lemongrass oil, clover oil, bay oil, thyme oil and cumin oil were used as test materials, and the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was measured for each test material, and the results were obtained. It is shown in Table 1 below.

The antimicrobial activity was measured by the paper disc method by Maruzel's method. 1 ml of bacterial suspension was added to a 80 mm diameter watch plate, mixed with 10 ml of medium, and left to form a medium. It is determined by inserting a circular filter with an essential oil having a diameter of 6 mm and a thickness of 0.68 mm, incubating for 24 hours at a temperature of 37 ° C., and then measuring the diameter of the growth inhibiting ring.

(Unit: mm) Escherichia coli Staphylococcus Pseudomonas aeruginosa Basil oil 1.5 2.5 1.9 Marjoram oil 1.2 1.7 0.8 Lemongrass Oil 1.2 3.0 1.3 Clover oil 1.6 1.9 0.9 Bay oil 1.6 2.0 1.0 Time oil 2.2 5.0 1.0 Cumin oil 1.0 1.6 2.0

As can be seen from the results of Table 1, the essential oils were excellent in antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Ethanol, on the other hand, may be added to better solubilize the essential oil to obtain a transparent and stable ironing aid composition.

Hereinafter, the effect of the ironing aid composition of the present invention according to this configuration will be described in detail.

The essential oil component selected from the group consisting of basil oil, marjoram oil, lemongrass oil, clover oil, bay oil, cumin oil, thyme oil or a mixture of two or more thereof is less than 0.001% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. When used in the absence of fiber damage prevention and antibacterial and aromatic effects, when used in an amount of more than 1% by weight solubilization may be difficult. Therefore, the essential oil component of the present invention is preferably included in an amount of 0.001 to 1% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

Meanwhile, among the present invention, lower alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms may be selectively used, and among them, ethanol is more preferable. On the other hand, the alcohol optionally contained in the present invention has little effect of solubilizing essential oil when used in an amount of less than 0.1% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, when used in an amount of more than 10% by weight of the other composition Reducing the content of the components can affect the physical properties of the composition. Therefore, the alcohol in the present invention is preferably included in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

Hereinafter, the ironing aid composition will be described in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not limited only to these examples.
