Petrolatum Composition
THIS INVENTION relates to a petrolatum composition.
Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) Is a soft, oily, seml-solid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from hlgh-boiling hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons which are normally liquid at room température. Depending on their purity, petrolatums range in colour from dark petrolatum which is impure to highly pure petrolatum which is normally white ln colour.
Typlcal properties of a petrolatum are that it should be a soft unctuous mass and be slightly fluorescent in dayiight when molten. A petroleum jelly should be practically insoluble ln water, soluble in methylene chloride or hexane, and practically insoluble in alcohol and in glycerol.
Petroleum jellies hâve a wide range of applications such as pharmaceutical ointment bases, infant care, cosmetics, leather care, elastomers and as a grease or lubricant. Petroleum jelly products are used for human consumption and should therefore be of high purity. For example, the product should contain less than 1ppm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (which are carclnogenic) and the petroleum jelly should pass acidity/alkalinity and sulphated ash tests.
A white petroleum jelly/petrolatum is a purified and wholly or nearly decolourised mixture of semi-solid hydrocarbons (CnH2n+2), obtained from petroleum and high-boiling liquid hydrocarbons. It should hâve a white, or almost white, translucent appearance.
Petrolatums are conventionally produced by blendîng petroleum derived oil 5 components with slack waxes. Slack waxes are obtained during a de-waxing process of lubricant base-oils from crude oil. Such petroleum based petrolatums are described In US2828248 and US1791926.
Although the term 'petrolatum' origlnates from petroleum, which Is a fossil fuel derived product, petrolatum also Includes those types which are derived from 10 synthetic sources, being those of which the molécules of at least one component (or ail of its components) were derived by chemical synthesis. Petrolatum may also contain natural components such as vegetable waxes.
GB 955348 suggests a blend of 10-30% of Fischer-Tropsch wax with 35-45% 15 petroleum and 35-45% of liquid polypropylene, for use as a cable Imprégnant.
JP 2009-234991 describes the use of a Fischer-Tropsch wax and a liquid paraffin to provide a stick cosmetic. The properties of a stick cosmetic are however very different to that of a petrolatum in that a stick cosmetic is not an unctuous paste, which a petrolatum Is. Instead, a stick cosmetic is more solid 20 and harder than a petrolatum because it needs mould release properties.
The use of synthetic components in petrolatum has been suggested in US 7851663, US 3764 and JP 2009-234991. US 7851663 teaches the grafting of long chain olefins and parafflns produced by Fischer Tropsch 25 synthesis, to yield Iso-paraffins with long-chain branching exhibiting properties of petrolatum.
Synthetic waxes, eg. those obtained from the Fischer-Tropsch process, do not contain significant amounts of aromatic and polynuclear aromatic components, 30 which is bénéficiai for petrolatum. However, when synthetic components are used in a petrolatum formulation, obtaining the desired stability and threedimensional network structure of the petrolatum remains a challenge, in particular, when a petrolatum composition contains a linear paraffin which Is liquid at room température, the linear paraffin tends to separate from the heavier components In the formulation leading to a non-stable petrolatum formulation. In order to obtain a stable composition a “solvent binding effect is required.
It Is an object of this invention to provide a stable petrolatum containing normally liquid linear paraffins.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION .

EXAMPLE 1
PRODUCTION OF PETROLATUMS
Petrolatum compositions/samples were produced by the following préparation method: ln each case, the wax component and the low melt wax component 5 were melted ln an oven at 100°C. The paraffin that Is liquid at room température was also pre-heated ln an oven at 100°C. The molten waxes were transferred to a clean stainless steel beaker and placed on a measuring scale ln order to weigh out the amounts of wax required accurately according to the petroleum jelly formula. The température of the waxes was ascertained 10 to be 80°C before the liquid paraffin (also at 80°C) was blended with the molten waxes. The solutions were stirred until the résultant blend was observed to be clear and thereafter left for 5 hours to congeal.
The components used had the properties described in Table 1 below. 15 Viscosity was measured using the ASTM method D445. The drop melting point was measured using ASTM method D127.

Determining of branchlng type and degree of components
The branching type and degree of each of the components of the petrolatum composition was determined by High-Temperature GC (HTGC) using a Varian CP-3800 GC. H2 was used as carrier gas. A Restek MXT-1 capillary column (100% crosslinked dimethyl-polysiioxane) .was used (length: 15 m, internai diameter. 0.28 mm, phase thickness: 0.15 pm). Injection was by means of a programmable on-coiumn Injector, and a flame ionlzation detector (FID) was used. Xylene was used as a solvent for the wax. Table 2 shows the , conditions employed ln this method.

EXAMPLE 2
USE OF PETROLATUMS IN PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
General experimental conditions
Rheoiogy Is the science of deformation and flow of substances as a function of the shear rate or shear stress appiied to the product. The rheological measurements for this Example were conducted using an Anton Paar rheometer (Anton Paar GmbH, Osterrelch, Austria). The Anton Paar rheometer 10 Is a straln-controlled rheometer that Is capable of both dynamic or steady shear straln measurements and measuring the résultant torque values exerted by the sample in response to the Imposed shear straln. The dynamlc/steady shear straln is appiied by the step-motor and the torque Is measured by the ; force rebaiance transducer (FRT).
T. K. Parklns, J.B. Turner, Starting Behavlor of Gathering Lines and Pipelines Filled with Gelled Prudhoe Bay J.Pet. Technol. 23 (1971) 301-308 found that the thermal and shear history, aging and composition of a jelly significantly affect the yield stress measurement. ln ail measurements carried out in this 20 Example, a freshly prepared sample was used and the sample was rested for min after loading to allow material relaxation and temperature équilibration. It was found that 40 min Is enough time to allow the samples to be completely relaxed and to be thermally equilibrated. Ail measurements were repeated at least three times for each test and highly reproducible data were obtained 25 within the coefficient of variation of ± 5% in ali cases.
ln this Example, ail measurements were performed with a parallel-plate fixture with a radius of 25mm and a gap size of 2.5mm. The larger gap size between the two plates ensures smaller gap error.
Measurement methods for the study of primary skln feeling
During this Investigation the onset of flow tf of cream samples was determined from the maximum of the viscosity curve qmax (Fig. 1).
Sensory assessment results were obtained from a panel comprising of 15 people of different âge groups, sex and ethnicity. The panel was asked to assess and rate four cream samples, a value of 10 being a product with good sensory assessment and a value of 0 being a product with poor sensory 5 assessment (Table 4). The samples were assessed during a biind test and the samples that the panel received were labelled Creams A-D.

The cream formulation used contains 15% petroleum jelly or petrolatum (Tables), and a range of between 0-100% Fischer Tropsch petroleum jelly products were used to préparé émulsions (Table 4). Cream A contained 0% Fischer-Tropsch wax and Is a traditional minerai based petroleum jelly. Cream 5 B also contains a 100% minerai based petroleum jelly with a slightiy different formulation than the petroleum jelly used in Cream A. Cream C contains a petroleum jelly that is fully based on Fischer-Tropsch wax; whereas for Cream D a predominantly synthetic petroleum jeliy containing 65% Fischer-Tropsch wax was used.
The sensory assessment for spreadability. of the product by the panel was correlated with the maximum viscosity and shear stress measured at the onset of fiow, being depicted by the window as shown in Figure 2. The boundaries of the window were determined by the results of cream samples obtaining 15 good sensory assessment results by a panel of people as shown in Figure 2.
The graphical window is depicted as measured values for the shear stress and maximum viscosity at the onset of fiow, providing the upper and lower limit for products with good sensory assessment. Figure 2 shows where products in accordance with the Invention feature In relation to rheological properties 20 measured compared to literature data of creams with good skin feellng assessment.
As shown in Fig. 2 only Cream D (containing 65% Fischer-Tropsch wax) tested during this investigation fails within this window of good primary skin feel as 25 found by R. Brummer, S. Gorderskty, Rheoiogical studios to objectify sensations occurring when cosmetic émulsions are applied to the skin, Coiloids and Surfaces, Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects 152 (1999) 89-94. During this investigation it was found that a formulation containing petroleum jelly based on 65% Fischer-Tropsch wax raw material has the best 30 primary sensory assessment or spreadability when compared to traditional minerai based products. Comments from the panel regarding Cream D were that it had a smooth application and was easlly absorbed. The 100% FischerTropsch based petroleum jelly Cream C falls just outside the boundary for good sensory assessment. Cream C is doser to the window than the minerai based products, Cream A and B. Cream C was also given a higher rating by the panel. It is interesting to note that the further away a product falls from the window defined for good sensory assessment (2); the lower the rating that was given by the panel. Cream A Is the furthest away from the window and was 5 also given the lowest rating by the panel.
