Compositions containing a solvated active agent suitable for dispensing as a compressed gas aerosol

摘要

A composition for solvating one or more active agents in an aqueous solution which is suitable for dispensing as a compressed gas aerosol composition is disclosed. The composition includes at least one surfactant, at least one active agent (such as a fragrance or an insecticide), and a compressed gas propellant. The at least one surfactant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 3 wt. %. The at least one active agent is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 2 wt. %. The compressed gas propellant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 1 wt. %. The total surfactant weight to active agent weight ratio for the composition is preferably about 1:3 to 5:1. The composition uses a reduced amount of surfactant and active agent thereby allowing for a more efficient active agent loading and a reduced stickiness or tackiness on surfaces contacted during use.

主权项

1. An aerosol composition comprising, based on 100 total wt. % of said composition,
(a) an active agent-based solution comprising a combination of about 0.1 wt. % to about 2 wt. % of at least one water-insoluble or water-immiscible active agent and about 0.1 wt. % to about 3 wt. % of at least one surfactant, wherein said at least one surfactant is present in relation to said at least one water-insoluble or water-immiscible active agent in a ratio based on total surfactant weight % to active agent weight % of about 1:3 to 5:1; (b) about 0.1 wt. % to about 1 wt. % of a compressed gas propellant; (c) water; and (d) optionally at least one additive which is one or more of a preservative, a corrosion inhibitor, solvent, pH controller, an antimicrobial, processing aid, thickener, thixotrope, and dye;wherein said composition has a volatile organic compound content of 4% or less.
