  • Patent Document 1 discloses a toothpaste composition of a specific viscosity that is contained in a pump-type toothpaste container including an airless pump and a tube for supplying the toothpaste composition to the airless pump, and that contains a specific amount of thickening silica.
  • Patent Document 1 JP 2021-8323 A
  • the present invention provides a dentifrice comprising an upright bottle container (X) having an airless pump member with a nozzle connected to an upper opening of a container body, the bottle container being filled with a dentifrice composition (Y) at an initial filling rate of less than 100%,
  • the upright bottle container (X) has a mechanism for sucking in the dentifrice composition (Y) from an inlet (x1-1) via an inlet valve (x1-2) in response to the operation of a pump, and for discharging the dentifrice composition (Y) from a discharge port of a nozzle;
  • the present invention provides a dentifrice in an upright bottle container (X), in which an intake port (x1-1) is not immersed in a dentifrice composition (Y) before use of the dentifrice is started, and in which the dentifrice composition (Y) has a Helipath viscosity (y1) at 25°C of 1300 dPa ⁇ s or more and 5000 dPa ⁇ s or less,
  • the present inventors have newly focused their attention on the problem that when a paste with high shape retention, such as dentifrice, is filled into an upright airless pump container and an attempt is made to eject the dentifrice from the container, air present in the container gets mixed into the dentifrice composition, causing excessive protrusion and other splashing when ejected, particularly when the airless pump container is filled with dentifrice to an initial filling rate of less than 100%.
  • improvements are still required in order to sufficiently prevent the agent from protruding or splashing due to air getting into the container when the agent is ejected, while also achieving good ejection properties and shape retention on the toothbrush.
  • the present invention relates to a dentifrice in which a dentifrice composition is filled into an upright bottle container using an airless pump, and which is capable of ensuring good ejection properties and shape retention while adequately suppressing splashing.
  • the inventors therefore conducted extensive research to solve the above problems, and discovered a toothpaste that is filled with a toothpaste composition having specific viscosity characteristics in an upright bottle container with a specific inlet, thereby effectively preventing unwanted splashing and ensuring good ejection properties and shape retention.
  • the dentifrice in which the dentifrice composition is filled in an upright bottle container of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as “the dentifrice of the present invention") can effectively prevent splashing such as excessive protrusion caused by air getting into the container, and also exhibits good ejection properties and shape retention, making it possible to experience comfortable and convenient use.

  • 2 is an enlarged view showing an upper opening of the container body in FIG. 1 .
  • This is an enlarged view showing the top opening of the container body in a container having a dip tube disposed at the lower end of an airless pump member, which is one embodiment of an upright bottle constituting the dentifrice of the present invention.
  • the dentifrice of the present invention is an upright bottle container (X) in which an airless pump member equipped with a nozzle is connected to the top opening of the container body, and dentifrice composition (Y) is filled at an initial filling rate of less than 100%.
  • the upright bottle container (X) of the present invention is a container comprising a container body having a bottom and a top opening, and an airless pump member equipped with a nozzle connected to the top opening of the container body. That is, as shown in the schematic diagram of Figure 1, the upright bottle container (X) 1 of the present invention has a flow path formed through the top opening 21 of the container body 2 and the airless pump member 3 to the discharge port of the nozzle 32. Therefore, when in use, by operating the airless pump with container 1 held upright, the toothpaste composition can be easily ejected from nozzle 32, making this a container that contributes to improving usability and convenience.
  • the airless pump member 3 is a member equipped with a pump that does not allow air to flow in, and the pressure inside the pump varies in conjunction with the pressure applied to the pump, enabling the toothpaste composition filled in the container body 2 to be sucked into the airless pump member 3 and ejected from the nozzle 32 to the outside in a single operation.

  • the internal pressure of the pump 31 fluctuates, making it possible to operate the inlet valve (x1-2).
