Definitions

  • p-Phenylenediamine color developing agents are known in the art, and may be used either in their free form or in their salt form. For example, some of the compounds are described in US. Pat. No. 2,193,015 (1940) and 2,108,243 (1938); British Pat. No. 778,437 (1957); J. Am. Chem. Soc, Vol. 73, pp 3100 3125 1951), etc.
  • p-phenylenediamine color developing agents (hereinafter referred to as merely color developing agent) have heretofore been marketed as fine powders. However, they are so light that they tend to scatter and, in addition, they will cause medicinal dermatitis (poisoning) on the parts of a body contacting them due to their toxicity (mainly dermatitis problems). In addition, some of these color developing agents become difficult to handle due to the solidification during storage even though, when they were produced, they were powders tending to scatter.
  • the proportion of excipients can be varied depend ing upon the kind of color developing agent and the conditions of the powder thereof, but, in general, from 0.2 to 1.3 Kg of excipients per 10 Kg of the color developing agent are preferably used.
  • Suitable excipients such as water or lower alcohols having a boiling point of lower than C, such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, etc. are preferably employed. Higher alcohols are not preferred because they require a long drying time due to their high boiling point during which the qualities of the color developing agents tend to be degraded, and because of their bad smell or poor working properties due to the solidifying characteristic of some of them.
  • the addition of the excipient is preferably conducted incrementally since a large addition of excipient makes the kneaded product paste-like, which requires a long time in drying.
  • an alkyl cellulose such as methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose or propyl cellulose per 10 Kg of the color developing agent is added together with the excipient and, after kneading sufficiently, the kneaded mixture is extruded in the form of a rod, and then dried at an appropriate temperature.
  • the proportion of the excipients can be determined by previously measuring the reduction in weight on drying (the reduction in weight should be preferably less than 10 percent and, if above 10 percent, drying or processing should be conducted), and subtracting the reduction in weight. Then kneading and granulating are conducted in the same manner as with dried powders, and subsequently, drying is conducted.
  • the mixing and kneading work are preferably conducted using a kneader, and the extrusion is conveniently conducted using a screw extruder, etc.
  • a fluidized layer drier is used for drying.
  • the granular product of the color developing agent thus granulated and dried shows increased solubility in water due to the porous structure provided thereto, and, in a dry condition, the shape thereof by the usual vibration and shock in wrapping, transport, etc., is not easily lost and no powdery dust is produced.
  • the problems previously encountered with medicinal dermatitis never occur.
  • the smaller surface area in comparison with the finely powdered products serves to prevent air-oxidation, and
  • the granular product can be weighed out with a measuring spoon or a measuring cup, which markedly shortens the wrapping and processing time and serves to improve the working property.
  • Crushing weight One particle of a color developing agent formulated into granules is removed, and a load is applied thereto to measure the weight on crushing.
  • Solidifying property with the lapse of time 100 grams of a granulated product is left in a closed glass bottle for 3 months.
  • Oxidizability A granulated product and a powdered product were left in an atmosphere for 2 months, and the degree of discoloration was observed for a comparison of oxidizability.
  • Solubility 1 gram of each of a powdery product and a granulated product was weighed out and the time required to dissolve it in ml of water at room temperature was measured for comparison.
  • EXAMPLE 1 temperature.
  • the resulting cake thus kneaded was subjected to a screw extrusion to mold it into a rod of 1.0 1.5 mm in diameter.
  • the resulting rod was dried using a hot air fluidized bed drier at a temperature below 80 C, and the granules formed which passed through a 1680a sieve and did not pass through a 250;; sieve were collected to obtain 9.9 Kg of the granules.
  • the resulting granulated product had a crushing weight of 150 g and was not crushed by usual vibrations and shock. Therefore, no dust was formed.
  • EXAMPLE 2 400 ml of a mixed solution of water and ethyl alcohol of a concentration of 50 percent was sprayed over 10 Kg of the wet powder of the color developing agentprepared according to the process described in Example 1 and containing a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol whose reduction in weight on drying was 4 percent, while kneading in a kneader. After kneading for 15 minutes, the mixture was subjected to screw extrusion to mold it into a rod of 1.0 1.5 mm in diameter, and 9.5 Kg of the granulated product was obtained in the same manner as described in Example 1. Crushing weight: 140 g; Solubility: seconds (before granulation), 60 seconds (after granulation); Solidifying property: the granulated product did not solidify after 3 months; Oxidizability: the granulated product did not discolor.
  • EXAMPLE 3 50 grams of methyl cellulose was added to a dried material of the color developing agent prepared according to the process described in Example 1 while kneading in a kneader, and 300 g of water was sprayed over the mixture. After kneading the mixture for 15 minutes at room temperature, the mixture was subjected to screw extrusion to mold it into a rod of 0.5 1.0 mm in diameter, and 9.5 Kg of the granulated product was obtained in the same manner as described in Example 1. Crushing weight: 230 g. Addition of methyl cellulose increased the crushing weight by a factor of about 2. Solubility in water: 40 seconds; Solidifying property: the granulated product did not solidify after 3 months. Oxidizability: the granulated product did not discolor.
  • EXAMPLE 4 500 grams of isopropyl alcohol was sprayed over 10 Kg of the wet powder of the color developing agent having a reduction in weight on drying of 4 percent prepared according to the process described in Example 1 while kneading in a kneader. After kneading the mixture for 15 minutes at room temperature, the mixture was subjected to screw extrusion to mold it into a rod of 1.0 mm in diameter. Then, 9.3 Kg of the granulated product was obtained in the same manner as described in Example 1.
  • Crushing weight 120 g
  • Solubility 120 seconds (before granulation), 60seconds (after granulation); Solidifying property with the lapse of time: the granulated product did not solidify after 3 months; Oxidizability: the granulated product did not discolor.
  • EXAMPLE 5 900 ml of a mixed solution of water and isopropyl alcohol of a concentration of 50 percent was sprayed over 10 Kg of the dried powdery material of 4-amino- N,N-diethylaniline monosulfate monohydrate, NH C H N(C H 'H SO 'H O, prepared according to the process described in British Pat. No. 778,437 (1957) while kneading in a kneader, and the mixture was kneaded for 15 minutes at room temperature. The 5 resulting cake was subjected to extrusion to mold it into a rod and granulated in the same manner as described in Example 1 to obtain 9.8 Kg of the granulated product.
  • EXAMPLE 10 10 Kg of the dried powdery product of 4-amino-N- ethyl-N-(beta-methylsulfonamidoethyl)aniline mono- Sulfate, NH2C6H4N(C2H5)(CH2)ZNHSOZCH3'H2SO4,
