TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] This invention relates to foamable alcoholic compositions, and more particularly, to foamable alcoholic compositions that include a foaming surfactant selected from fluorosurfactants, siloxane polymer surfactants, and combinations thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Foam cleaning products are popular, in part because they are easier to spread on surfaces. Consumers seem to prefer the luxury of foamed soap products. Less foam is needed to produce the same cleaning power as liquids or gels, due at least partly to the higher surface area of the foam. Properly formulated foam products do not produce the drip and splash that is experienced with traditional gelled or liquid products, due to the higher surface tension of the foam. This prevents damage to the floors and walls of facilities where the product dispensers are used. Manufacturing of foam products may be easier than gelled products, which often incorporate powdered thickeners that are difficult to handle.
[0004] Aqueous foam cleaning products have been described, for example, a foam cleaning composition containing a surfactant, a foam-boosting solvent such as a glycol, and at least 80 percent by weight (wt. %) water.
[0005] Alcoholic products are popular as sanitizers for the skin. However, foaming products based upon alcoholic compositions are problematic, because alcohol is known to have strong defoaming properties. Although aerosol-based alcoholic foams are available, these aerosol products are generally more expensive to manufacture than non-aerosol foams.
[0006] A stable foamed composition containing water and an alkoxylated silicone compound has been described that may contain up to 30 wt. % alcohol, and may be stable for one month or longer. However, alcoholic compositions do not exhibit effective antimicrobial properties unless the alcohol is present in an amount of 50 weight percent or more.
[0007] A foamable liquid cleanser containing a surfactant, a humectant, water, and from about 35 to about 70 wt. % alcohol has been described, however the foam produced when this composition is aerated collapses substantially to liquid within about 5 to 45 seconds.
[0008] A skin disinfecting formulation has been described that comprises: (a) an alcohol in an amount from about 50 to about 80 weight percent of the total composition; (b) from about 0.02 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a block copolymer; (c) from about 5 wt. %
to about 25 wt. % of a foaming surfactant; (d) from about 0 wt. % to about 3 wt. % of a thickening agent;
(e) from about 1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of an emulsifier; (f) from about Owt.
% to about 5wt.
% of a preservative; (g) from about 1 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a cleaning agent; (h) from about 0.5 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a polyalkylene glycol; (i) from about 0.05 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a moisturizer and/or emollient; and (j) from about 6 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of water. The foaming surfactants that are taught are ammonium fatty sulfo succinate, cocamide dea, alkonolamides such as cocodiethanolamide, amine oxides such as cetyldimethyl amino oxide and amphoterics such as isostearoamphoropionate and lauramidopropyl betaine surfactant.
to about 25 wt. % of a foaming surfactant; (d) from about 0 wt. % to about 3 wt. % of a thickening agent;
(e) from about 1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of an emulsifier; (f) from about Owt.
% to about 5wt.
% of a preservative; (g) from about 1 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a cleaning agent; (h) from about 0.5 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a polyalkylene glycol; (i) from about 0.05 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a moisturizer and/or emollient; and (j) from about 6 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of water. The foaming surfactants that are taught are ammonium fatty sulfo succinate, cocamide dea, alkonolamides such as cocodiethanolamide, amine oxides such as cetyldimethyl amino oxide and amphoterics such as isostearoamphoropionate and lauramidopropyl betaine surfactant.
[0009] Commercially available non-aerosol alcoholic foams have been forrnulated with specific perfluoroalkyl phosphate surfactants and dispensed from a foaming pump mechanism.
But the foam thus produced is fleeting, and will immediately begin to deflate or liquefy into a water-thin liquid. When the alcoholic foam is dispensed from a common foaming pump mechanism, some of the foam is left within the tubes of the dispenser, and, as the foam breaks down, the composition often drips out of the dispenser. This dripping not only wastes product, it makes the area around the dispenser look unsanitary and may result in damage to the walls and floors, as well as resulting in a slip hazard if the product is dripping on the floor. Thus, there is a need for stabilized foamable alcoholic compositions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
[0019] Foamable alcoholic compositions in accordance with this invention include at least one alcohol and at least one foaming surfactant. In one embodiment, the alcohol is a lower alkanol, i.e. an alcohol containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Typically, these alcohols have antimicrobial properties. Examples of lower alkanols include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, tertiary butanol, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the alcohol comprises ethanol.
[00201 Generally, the alcoholic composition comprises an amount of alcohol of at least about 40 weight percent (wt. %), based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition comprises at least about 45 weight percent alcohol, in another embodiment, the alcoholic composition comprises at least about 50 weight 5 percent alcohol, and in yet another embodiment, the alcoholic composition comprises at least about 60 weight percent alcohol, based upon the total weight of alcoholic composition. More or less alcohol may be required in certain instances, depending particularly on other ingredients and/or the amounts thereof employed in the composition. In certain embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 40 weight percent to about 98 weight percent alcohol, in other embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 45 weight percent to about 95 weight percent of alcohol, in yet other embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 50 weight percent to about 90 weight percent of alcohol, and in still other embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 60 weight percent to about 80 weight percent of alcohol, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0021] - The foaming surfactant contributes foaming properties to the alcoholic composition, and may include anionic, cationic, nonionic, zwitterionic, or amphoteric surfactants and their associated salts. In one embodiment, the foaming surfactant includes a fluorosurfactant, a siloxane polymer surfactant, or a combination thereof.
Fluorosurfactants include compounds that contain at least one fluorine atom. Examples of fluorosurfactants include perfluoroalkylethyl phosphates, perfluoroalkylethyl betaines, fluoroaliphatic amine oxides, fluoroaliphatic sodium sulfosuccinates, fluoroaliphatic stearate esters, fluoroaliphatic phosphate esters, fluoroaliphatic quatemaries, fluoroaliphatic polyoxyethylenes, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
[0022] In one embodiment, the fluorosurfactant contains a charged species, i.e. is anionic, cationic, or zwitterionic. Examples of fluorosurfactants containing a charged species include perfluoroalkylethyl phosphates, perfluoroalkylethyl betaines, fluoroaliphatic amine oxides, fluoroaliphatic sodium sulfosuccinates, fluoroaliphatic phosphate esters, and fluoroaliphatic quaternaries. Specific examples of fluorosurfactants include DEA-C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate, TEA-C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate, NH4-C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate, and C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl betaine.
[0023] In one embodiment, the fluorosurfactant includes a compound that may be represented by the formula [F3CFZC - (CF2CF2),-CH2CH2-0-P203] - [ R'] +
where [Rl ]+ includes DEA, TEA, NH4, or betaine, and where x is an integer from about 4 to about 18.
[0024] Siloxane polymer surfactants may be generally characterized by containing one or more Si-O-Si linkages in the polymer backbone. The siloxane polymer surfactant may or may not include a fluorine atom. Therefore, some foaming surfactants may be classified as both fluorosurfactants and siloxane polymer surfactants. Siloxane polymer surfactants include organopolysiloxane dimethicone polyols, silicone carbinol fluids, silicone polyethers, alkylmethyl siloxanes, amodimethicones, trisiloxane ethoxylates, dimethiconols, quaternized silicone surfactants, polysilicones, silicone crosspolymers, and silicone waxes.
[0025] Examples of siloxane polymer surfactants include dimethicone PEG-7 undecylenate, PEG-10 dimethicone, PEG-8 dimethicone, PEG-12 dimethicone, perfluorononylethyl carboxydecal PEG 10, PEG-20/PPG-23 dimethicone, PEG-11 methyl ether dimethicone, bis-PEG/PPG-20/20 dimethicone, silicone quats, PEG-9 dimethicone, PPG-12 dimethicone, fluoro PEG-8 dimethicone, PEG 23/PPG 6 dimethicone, PEG
23 dimethicone, PEG 17 dimethicone, PEG5/PPG3 methicone, bis PEG20 dimethicone, PEG/PPG20/15 dimethicone copolyol and sulfosuccinate blends, PEG-8 dimethicone\dimmer acid blends, PEG-8 dimethicone\fatty acid blends, PEG-8 dimethicone\cold pressed vegetable oil\polyquaternium blends, random block polymers and mixtures thereof.
[0026] In one embodiment, the siloxane polymer surfactant includes a compound that may be represented by the formula RZ - Si (CH3)2 - [0-Si (CH3)2]a - [0 - Si (CH3) R3 ]b - 0- Si (CH3)2 - R 2 where R2 and R3 independently include a methyl group or a moiety that may be represented by the formula -(CH2)3 - 0 - (CHZCH20),- [CH2CH(CH3)O]d - (CH2CH20)e H
with the proviso that both R 2 and R3 are not CH3, where a is an integer from about 3 to about 21, b is an integer from about 1 to about 7, c is an integer from about 0 to about 40, d is an integer from about 0 to about 40, and e is an integer from about 0 to about 40, with the proviso thata_3 xbandthatc+d+e_ 5.
[0027] The amount of foaming surfactant is not particularly limited, so long as an effective amount to produce foaming is present. In certain embodiments, the effective amount to produce foaming may vary, depending upon the amount of alcohol and other ingredients that are present. In one or more embodiments, the alcoholic composition includes at least about 0.002 wt. % of foaming surfactant, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
In another embodiment, the alcoholic composition includes at least about 0.01 wt. % of foaming surfactant, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
In yet another embodiment, the alcoholic composition includes at least about 0.05 wt. % of foaming surfactant, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0028] In one embodiment, the foaming surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.002 to about 4 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In another embodiment, the foaming surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.01 to about 2 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. It is envisioned that higher amounts may also be effective to produce foam. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not include carriers or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified.
[0029] In some embodiments, for economic or other reasons it may be desirable to limit the amount of fluorosurfactant used. Advantageously, stable foam can be produced from a composition according to the present invention containing greater than about 60 wt. % alcohol, and from about 0.002 to about 0.5 wt. % fluorosurfactant, based upon the total weight of the composition. In certain embodiments, the foamable composition includes greater than about 65 wt. % alcohol, and from about 0.002 to about 0.4 wt. % fluorosurfactant, based upon the total weight of the composition.
[0030] In other embodiments, it may be desirable to use higher amounts of foaming surfactant. For example, in certain embodiments where the foaming alcoholic composition of the present invention includes a cleansing or sanitizing product that is applied to a surface and then rinsed off, higher amounts of foaming surfactant may be employed. In these embodiments, the amount of foaming surfactant is present in amounts up to about 35 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the composition.
[0031] In one or more embodiments, the foaming surfactant is added directly to the alcoholic composition. In other embodiments, the foaming surfactant is added to the alcoholic composition as a solution or emulsion. In other words, the foaming surfactant may be premixed with a carrier to fornl a foaming surfactant solution or emulsion, with the proviso that the carrier does not deleteriously affect the foaming properties of the alcoholic composition. Examples of carriers include water, alcohol, glycols such as propylene or ethylene glycol, ketones, linear and/or cyclic hydrocarbons, triglycerides, carbonates, silicones, alkenes, esters such as acetates, benzoates, fatty esters, glyceryl esters, ethers, amides, polyethylene glycols and PEG/PPG copolymers, inorganic salt solutions such as saline, and mixtures thereof. It will be understood that, when the foaming surfactant is premixed to form a foaming surfactant solution or emulsion, the amount of solution or emulsion that is added to the alcoholic composition may be selected so that the amount of foaming surfactant falls within the ranges set forth hereinabove.
[0032] Foaming surfactant solutions and emulsions are commercially available, for example under the trade names Masurf FS-115 as a 14 wt. % solution of fluoroaliphatic phosphate ester in water, MasurM FS-130 as a 28 wt. % solution of fluoroaliphatic phosphate ester in water, available from Mason Chemical Company. As is known in the art, siloxane surfactants are also commercially available.
[0033] In certain embodiments, the alcoholic composition of the present invention further includes at least one foam stabilizer. In one embodiment, where the foaming surfactant comprises a fluorosurfactant, the foam stabilizer may be selected from polymeric or oligomeric foam stabilizers. In another embodiment, where the foaming surfactant comprises a siloxane surfactant, the foam stabilizer is optional, and may be polymeric or non-polymeric.
In one embodiment, the foam stabilizer comprises a cationic oligomer or polymer.
[00341 Advantageously, the alcoholic composition of these embodiments exhibits improved foam stability when compared to an alcoholic composition without the foani stabilizer. By "foam stability" is meant the length of time that it takes for a foam to break down into a liquid.
[00351 Polymeric foam stabilizers include polyquatemium polymers. In general, a polyquatemium polymer is one that is designated as such by the CTFA.
Polyquaternium polymers may be characterized by containing a quaternary ammonium group. Non-limiting examples of polyquaterniums include those listed in Table 1, below, including the INCI name and technical name.

[00401 In one embodiment, the foam stabilizer includes a VP/vinylcaprolactam/dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide copolymer sold under the trade names Aquaflex SF-40, or an isobutylene/dimethylaminopropyl maleimide/ethoxylated maleimide/maleic acid copolymer sold under the trade name Aquaflex XL-30.
100411 In one embodiment, foam stabilizer is present in an amount of from about 0.005 to about 4 weight percent active, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In another embodiment, the foam stabilizer is present in an amount of from about 0.01 to about 1 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition, and in yet another embodiment, the foam stabilizer is present in an amount of from about 0.02 to about 0.2 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[00421 In one embodiment, the foam stabilizer is added directly to the alcoholic composition. In one or more other embodiments, the foam stabilizer is added to the alcoholic composition as a solution or emulsion. In other words, the foam stabilizer may be premixed with a carrier to form a foam stabilizer solution or emulsion, with the proviso that the carrier does not deleteriously affect the foaming properties of the alcoholic composition. Examples of carriers include water, alcohol, glycols such as propylene or ethylene glycol, ketones, linear and/or cyclic hydrocarbons, triglycerides, carbonates, silicones, alkenes, esters such as acetates, benzoates, fatty esters, glyceryl esters, ethers, amides, polyethylene glycols and PEG/PPG copolymers, inorganic salt solutions such as saline, and mixtures thereof. It will be 5 understood that, when the foam stabilizer is premixed to form a foam stabilizer solution or emulsion, the amount of solution or emulsion that is added to the alcoholic composition is selected so that the amount of foam stabilizer falls within the ranges set forth hereinabove.
[0043] In one embodiment, the weight ratio of foaming surfactant to foam stabilizer is from about 3.5:1 to about 14.5:1, and in another embodiment, the weight ratio of foaming 10 surfactant to foam stabilizer is from about 8:1 to about 11:1.
[0044] In certain embodiments, the foam stabilizer increases the foam stability, i.e. the amount of time that it takes for foam to break down into a liquid.
Particularly, it has been found that, when the foaming surfactant comprises a fluorosurfactant, the presence of a foam stabilizer improves the stability of the foam. When the foaming surfactant comprises a 15 siloxane polymer, the foam stabilizer is optional.
[0045] The foam stabilizer may operate to improve the stability of the foam in any number of ways. In one or more embodiments, the foam stabilizer also improves the foam quality, i.e.
increases the number of bubbles and/or reduces the size of the bubbles.
[0046] Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 A is a photograph showing a surface with a stabilized foamed composition on the right and an unstabilized foamed composition on the left, immediately after the foams were dispensed. More specifically, both foamed compositions contain the same amounts of ethanol, fluorosurfactant, humectant, and water.
The foamed composition on the right also contains about 0.14 %byweight foam stabilizer. It can be seen that the unstabilized foam contains some small bubbles, but contains a greater amount of large, loose bubbles than the stabilized foam.
[0047] FIG. 1B is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
lA, 1 minute after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that, while the stabilized foam remain essentially unchanged, the unstabilized foam has bccome watery around the edges.
[0048] FIG. 1 C is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
IA, 3 minutes after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that the stabilized foam remains essentially unchanged, while the unstabilized foam has become very watery.
[0049] FIG. 1 D is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
1 A, 5 minutes after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that the stabilized foam remains essentially unchanged, while the unstabilized foam is primarily liquid, with only a few bubbles remaining.
[0050] FIG. 1 E is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
lA, I hour after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that, while the stabilized foam remains very foamy, the unstabilized foam has collapsed to become liquid. In embodiments, the stability of the foam produced when a composition comprising greater than 40 wt. %
alcohol, a fluorosurfactant, and a foam stabilizer is passed through a non-aerosol foaming pump at room temperature if greater than the stability of the foam produced when a composition not including the foam stabilizer is passed through the non-aerosol foaming pump.
100511 In one embodiment, the foam stability of the foam produced when the foamable alcoholic composition of the present invention is passed through a non-aerosol foaming pump at room. temperature is at least about 30 seconds, in another embodiment at least about three minutes, or in other words, the alcoholic composition maintains its foam form and doesn't break down into liquid form for at least three minutes. In another embodiment, the foam stability is at least about five minutes, and in yet another embodiment, the foam stability is at least about 15 minutes. In one or more embodiments, the foam stability is at least about 30 minutes, and in other embodiments, the foam stability is at least about 60 minutes.
[0052] The alcoholic composition of this invention may further include a wide range of optional ingredients, with the proviso that they do not deleteriously affect the foam forming properties of the alcoholic composition, or the stability of the foam. The CTFA International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, Eleventh Edition, 2005, and the International Buyer's Guide, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, describe a wide variety of non-limiting cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients commonly used in the skin care industry, that are suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention. Non-limiting examples of functional classes of ingredients are described in these references. Examples of these functional classes include: abrasives, anti-acne agents, anticaking agents, antioxidants, binders, biological additives, bulking agents, chelating agents, chemical additives; colorants, cosmetic astringents, cosmetic biocides, denaturants, drug astringents, emulsifiers, extemal analgesics, film formers, fragrance components, humectants, opacifying agents, plasticizers, preservatives, propellants, reducing agents, skin bleaching agents, skin-conditioning agents (emollient, humectants, miscellaneous, and occlusive), skin protectants, solvents, foam boosters, hydrotropes, solubilizing agents, suspending agents (nonsurfactant), sunscreen agents, ultraviolet light absorbers, detackifiers, and viscosity increasing agents (aqueous and nonaqueous). Examples of other functional classes of materials useful herein that are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art include solubilizing agents, sequestrants, and keratolytics, and the like. In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition further comprises glycerin.
[0053] Auxiliary surfactants may be included in the alcoholic compositions for the - purpose of boosting or modifying the foam quality and cFiaracteristics, for modifying the feel of the final formulation during rub in and/or dry time, for providing persistence or long-lasting microbial action of the alcohol, for solubilizing other ingredients such as fragrances or sunscreens, and for irritation mitigation. Auxiliary surfactants include, but are not necessarily limited to, sulfosuccinates, amine oxides, PEG-80 sorbitan laurate, polyglucosides, alkanolamides, sorbitan derivatives, fatty alcohol ethoxylates, quatemary ammonium compounds, amidoamines, sultaines, isothionates, sarcosinates, betaines, and fatty alcohol polyethylene glycols.
[0054] Although a propellant may be used to produce stable foam, advantageously a propellant is not necessary. In certain embodiments, the amount of propellant is less than about 1000 parts per million by weight, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition is substantially free of propellants, such as hydrocarbon propellants. By substantially free is meant that the amount of propellant in the alcoholic composition is less than about 100 parts pcr million by weight, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0055] In one embodiment, alcohol is the only active antimicrobial ingredient introduced into the composition, and in this embodiment the amount of auxiliary antimicrobial ingredients is less than about 0.1 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In other embodiments, the composition includes auxiliary antimicrobial agents in addition to alcohol. Examples of auxiliary antimicrobial agents include, but are not limited to, triclosan, also known as 5-chloro-2(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol and available from Ciba-Geigy Corporation under the tradename IRGASAN ; chloroxylenol, also known as 4-chloro-3,5-xylenol, available from Nipa Laboratories, Inc. under the tradenames NIPACIDE MX or PX; hexetidine, also known as 5 -amino- 1,3 -bis(2-ethylhexyl)-5 -methyl-hex ahydropyrimidine; chlorhexidine salts including chlorhexidine gluconate and the salts of N,N"-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,12-diimino-2,4,11,14-tetraazatetradecanediimidi amide;

and mixtures thereof. When used, the auxiliary antimicrobial agents are present in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 1 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0056] The alcoholic composition of the present invention may optionally further comprise a wide range of topical drug actives, with the proviso that they do not deleteriously affect the foam forming properties of the alcoholic composition, or the stability of the foam.
Examples of topical drug actives include salicylic acid, acetyl salicylic acid, cis-retinoic acid, trans-retinoic acid, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, lipoic acid, azelaic acid, phytic acid, lisophosphotidic acid, tetracycline, ibuprofen, naproxen, acetominophen, hydrocortisone, resorcinol, phenoxyethanol, phenoxypropanol, phenoxyisopropanol, 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxy diphenyl ether, 3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanilide, octopirox, 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid, dihydroxyacetone, benzoyl peroxide, 2,4,4'-trichloro-2-hydroxy diphenyl ether, phenoxyethanol, phenoxypropanol, phenoxyisopropanol, phytic acid, lipoic acid, lisophosphatidic acid, benoxaprofen, flubiprofen, fenoprofen, fenbufen, ketoprofen, indoprofen, priprofen, carprofen, oxaprozin, pranoprofen, miroprofen, tioxaprofen, suprofen, alminoprofen, tiaprofenic acid, fluprofen, bucloxic acid, benzocaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine, chloroprocaine, dibucaine, etidocaine, mepivacaine, tetracaine, dyclonine, hexylcaine, procaine, cocaine, ketamine, pramoxine, phenol, dihydroxyacetone, tyrosine, ethyltryosinate, phospho-DOPA, .beta.-lactim drugs, quinoline drugs, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, erythromycin, amikacin, doxycycline, capreomycin, chlorhexidine, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, clindamycin, ethambutol, hexamidinee isethionate, metronidazole, pentamidine, , gentamicin, kanamycin, lineomycin, methacyclin, methenamine, minocycine, neomycin, netilmicin, paromomycin, streptomycin, tobramycin, miconazole, tetracycline hydrochloride, erythromycin, zinc erythromycin, erythromycin estolate, erythromycin stearate, amikacin sulfate, doxyclcyline hydrochloride, capreomycin sulfate, chlorhexidine gluconate, chlorhexidine hydrochloride, chlortetracycline hydrochloride, oxytetracycline hydrochloride, clindamycin hydrochloride, ethambutol hydrochloride, metronidazole hydrochloride, pentamidine hydrochloride, gentamicin sulfate, kanamycin sulfate, lineomycin hydrochloride, methacycline hydrochloride, methenamine hippurate, methenamine mandelate, minocycline hydrochloride, neomycin sulfate, netilmicin sulfate, paromomycin sulfate, streptomycin sulfate, tobramycin sulfate, miconazole hydrochloride, amanfadine hydrochloride, amnanfadine sulfate, octopirox, parachlorometa xylenol, nystatin, tolnaftate, clotrimazole, 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate, octyl methoxycinnamate, p-amino benzoate, p-aminobenzoic acid, 2-phenyl benzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid, octocrylene, oxybenzone, homomenthyl salicylate, octyl salicylate, 4,4'-methoxy-t-butyldibenzoylmethane, 4-isopropyl dibenzoylmethane, 3-benzylidene camphor, 3-(4-methylbenzylidene) camphor, titanium dioxide, silica, iron oxide, 4-N,N-(2-ethylhexyl)methyl aminobenzoic acid ester of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 4-N,N-(2-ethylhexyl)methyl aminobenzoic acid ester with hydroxydibenzoylmethane, 4-N,N-(2-ethylhexyl)methyl aminobenzoic acid ester of hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzophenone, 4-N,N-(2-ethylhexyl)-methyl aminobenzoic acid ester of 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)dibenzoylmethane, tetracycline, ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, resorcinol, 3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanilide, octopirox, pharmaceutically-acceptable salts and mixtures of the above.
[0057] In one or more embodiments, the balance of the alcoholic composition includes water or other suitable solvent. In one embodiment, one or more volatile silicone-based 5 materials are included in the formulation to further aid the evaporation process. Exemplary volatile silicones have a lower heat of evaporation than alcohol. In certain embodiments, use of silicone-based materials can lower the surface tension of the fluid composition. This provides greater contact with the surface. In one embodiment, the silicone-based material, such as cyclomethicone, trimethylsiloxy silicate or a combination thereof, may be included in 10 the forrnulation at a concentration of from about 4 wt. % to about 50 wt. %
and in another embodiment from about 5 wt. % to about 35 wt. %, and in yet another embodiment from about 11 wt. % to about 25 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0058] In certain embodiments, such as the rinse-off formulation described above, the balance of the alcoholic composition includes foaming surfactant.
15 [0059] The alcoholic composition may be prepared by simply mixing the components together. The order of addition is not particularly limited. In one embodiment, the skin sanitizing alcoholic composition is prepared by a method comprising dispersing foaming surfactant in alcohol with slow to moderate agitation, adding water, and then adding a foam stabilizer, and mixing until the mixture is homogeneous.
20 100601 The foamable composition of the present invention may be employed in any type of dispenser typically used for foam products. Advantageously, while the foamable composition can optionally be foamed by aerosolizing the composition, an aerosolized product is not necessary for foaming. Any dispenser that is capable of mixing the foamable alcoholic composition with air or an inert gas may be used. Inert gases include gas that does not substantially react or otherwise deleteriously affect the foamable composition. Examples of inert gases include nitrogen, argon, xenon, krypton, helium, neon, and radon.
In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition is used in dispensers that employ foaming pumps, which combine ambient air or an inert gas and the alcoholic composition in a mixing chamber and pass the mixture through a mesh screen. In this and other embodiments, the viscosity of the composition is less than about 100 mPas, in one embodiment less than about 50 mPas, and in another embodiment less than about 25mPas.
[0061] The alcoholic composition of the present invention produces stabilized foam. As a result, the foamed composition will be less likely to break down to a liquid state and drip from the foaming pump and/or associated dispenser elements.
[0062] Accordingly, the present invention further provides a method of reducing dripping of a composition from a foaming pump. When a foamable composition is dispensed by using a foamable pump, a portion of the dispensed composition, now in foam form, remains in the dispenser head until another aliquot is dispensed. If the foam in the dispenser head breaks down into liquid between uses of the dispenser, the liquid will drip out of the dispenser head.
The time between uses of the dispenser can be designated generally as X
minutes. "X" can vary widely.
[0063] Advantageously, the stabilized foam of the present invention does not drip from the dispenser when X is about 3 minutes or less. In one embodiment, the stabilized foam does not drip from the dispenser when X is about five minutes or less, and in another embodiment, when X is about 15 minutes or less. In one or more embodiments, the stabilized foam does not drip from the dispenser when X is about 30 minutes or less, and in other embodiments, the stabilized foam does not drip from the dispenser when X is about 60 minutes or less.
[0064] In order to demonstrate the practice of the present invention, the following examples have been prepared and tested. The examples should not, however, be viewed as limiting the scope of the invention. The claims will serve to define the invention.
Examples 100651 Example 1 was prepared by dispersing the fluorosurfactant, DEA-C8-18 perfluoroalkylether phosphate, in ethanol with slow to moderate agitation until a homogeneous dispersion was achieved. Next, humectant was added and mixed until the mixture was homogeneous. Water was added, with mixing. The solution was agitated until a homogeneous mixture was achieved.

[0018] FIG. 1 E is a photograph showing a surface with a stabilized foamed composition on the right and an unstabilized foamed composition on the left, 1 hour after the foams were dispensed.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
[0019] Foamable alcoholic compositions in accordance with this invention include at least one alcohol and at least one foaming surfactant. In one embodiment, the alcohol is a lower alkanol, i.e. an alcohol containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Typically, these alcohols have antimicrobial properties. Examples of lower alkanols include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, tertiary butanol, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the alcohol comprises ethanol.
[00201 Generally, the alcoholic composition comprises an amount of alcohol of at least about 40 weight percent (wt. %), based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition comprises at least about 45 weight percent alcohol, in another embodiment, the alcoholic composition comprises at least about 50 weight 5 percent alcohol, and in yet another embodiment, the alcoholic composition comprises at least about 60 weight percent alcohol, based upon the total weight of alcoholic composition. More or less alcohol may be required in certain instances, depending particularly on other ingredients and/or the amounts thereof employed in the composition. In certain embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 40 weight percent to about 98 weight percent alcohol, in other embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 45 weight percent to about 95 weight percent of alcohol, in yet other embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 50 weight percent to about 90 weight percent of alcohol, and in still other embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises from about 60 weight percent to about 80 weight percent of alcohol, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0021] - The foaming surfactant contributes foaming properties to the alcoholic composition, and may include anionic, cationic, nonionic, zwitterionic, or amphoteric surfactants and their associated salts. In one embodiment, the foaming surfactant includes a fluorosurfactant, a siloxane polymer surfactant, or a combination thereof.
Fluorosurfactants include compounds that contain at least one fluorine atom. Examples of fluorosurfactants include perfluoroalkylethyl phosphates, perfluoroalkylethyl betaines, fluoroaliphatic amine oxides, fluoroaliphatic sodium sulfosuccinates, fluoroaliphatic stearate esters, fluoroaliphatic phosphate esters, fluoroaliphatic quatemaries, fluoroaliphatic polyoxyethylenes, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
[0022] In one embodiment, the fluorosurfactant contains a charged species, i.e. is anionic, cationic, or zwitterionic. Examples of fluorosurfactants containing a charged species include perfluoroalkylethyl phosphates, perfluoroalkylethyl betaines, fluoroaliphatic amine oxides, fluoroaliphatic sodium sulfosuccinates, fluoroaliphatic phosphate esters, and fluoroaliphatic quaternaries. Specific examples of fluorosurfactants include DEA-C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate, TEA-C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate, NH4-C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate, and C8-18 perfluoroalkylethyl betaine.

where [Rl ]+ includes DEA, TEA, NH4, or betaine, and where x is an integer from about 4 to about 18.
[0024] Siloxane polymer surfactants may be generally characterized by containing one or more Si-O-Si linkages in the polymer backbone. The siloxane polymer surfactant may or may not include a fluorine atom. Therefore, some foaming surfactants may be classified as both fluorosurfactants and siloxane polymer surfactants. Siloxane polymer surfactants include organopolysiloxane dimethicone polyols, silicone carbinol fluids, silicone polyethers, alkylmethyl siloxanes, amodimethicones, trisiloxane ethoxylates, dimethiconols, quaternized silicone surfactants, polysilicones, silicone crosspolymers, and silicone waxes.
[0025] Examples of siloxane polymer surfactants include dimethicone PEG-7 undecylenate, PEG-10 dimethicone, PEG-8 dimethicone, PEG-12 dimethicone, perfluorononylethyl carboxydecal PEG 10, PEG-20/PPG-23 dimethicone, PEG-11 methyl ether dimethicone, bis-PEG/PPG-20/20 dimethicone, silicone quats, PEG-9 dimethicone, PPG-12 dimethicone, fluoro PEG-8 dimethicone, PEG 23/PPG 6 dimethicone, PEG
23 dimethicone, PEG 17 dimethicone, PEG5/PPG3 methicone, bis PEG20 dimethicone, PEG/PPG20/15 dimethicone copolyol and sulfosuccinate blends, PEG-8 dimethicone\dimmer acid blends, PEG-8 dimethicone\fatty acid blends, PEG-8 dimethicone\cold pressed vegetable oil\polyquaternium blends, random block polymers and mixtures thereof.
[0026] In one embodiment, the siloxane polymer surfactant includes a compound that may be represented by the formula RZ - Si (CH3)2 - [0-Si (CH3)2]a - [0 - Si (CH3) R3 ]b - 0- Si (CH3)2 - R 2 where R2 and R3 independently include a methyl group or a moiety that may be represented by the formula -(CH2)3 - 0 - (CHZCH20),- [CH2CH(CH3)O]d - (CH2CH20)e H
with the proviso that both R 2 and R3 are not CH3, where a is an integer from about 3 to about 21, b is an integer from about 1 to about 7, c is an integer from about 0 to about 40, d is an integer from about 0 to about 40, and e is an integer from about 0 to about 40, with the proviso thata_3 xbandthatc+d+e_ 5.
[0027] The amount of foaming surfactant is not particularly limited, so long as an effective amount to produce foaming is present. In certain embodiments, the effective amount to produce foaming may vary, depending upon the amount of alcohol and other ingredients that are present. In one or more embodiments, the alcoholic composition includes at least about 0.002 wt. % of foaming surfactant, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
In another embodiment, the alcoholic composition includes at least about 0.01 wt. % of foaming surfactant, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
In yet another embodiment, the alcoholic composition includes at least about 0.05 wt. % of foaming surfactant, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0028] In one embodiment, the foaming surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.002 to about 4 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In another embodiment, the foaming surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.01 to about 2 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. It is envisioned that higher amounts may also be effective to produce foam. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not include carriers or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified.
[0029] In some embodiments, for economic or other reasons it may be desirable to limit the amount of fluorosurfactant used. Advantageously, stable foam can be produced from a composition according to the present invention containing greater than about 60 wt. % alcohol, and from about 0.002 to about 0.5 wt. % fluorosurfactant, based upon the total weight of the composition. In certain embodiments, the foamable composition includes greater than about 65 wt. % alcohol, and from about 0.002 to about 0.4 wt. % fluorosurfactant, based upon the total weight of the composition.
[0030] In other embodiments, it may be desirable to use higher amounts of foaming surfactant. For example, in certain embodiments where the foaming alcoholic composition of the present invention includes a cleansing or sanitizing product that is applied to a surface and then rinsed off, higher amounts of foaming surfactant may be employed. In these embodiments, the amount of foaming surfactant is present in amounts up to about 35 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the composition.
[0031] In one or more embodiments, the foaming surfactant is added directly to the alcoholic composition. In other embodiments, the foaming surfactant is added to the alcoholic composition as a solution or emulsion. In other words, the foaming surfactant may be premixed with a carrier to fornl a foaming surfactant solution or emulsion, with the proviso that the carrier does not deleteriously affect the foaming properties of the alcoholic composition. Examples of carriers include water, alcohol, glycols such as propylene or ethylene glycol, ketones, linear and/or cyclic hydrocarbons, triglycerides, carbonates, silicones, alkenes, esters such as acetates, benzoates, fatty esters, glyceryl esters, ethers, amides, polyethylene glycols and PEG/PPG copolymers, inorganic salt solutions such as saline, and mixtures thereof. It will be understood that, when the foaming surfactant is premixed to form a foaming surfactant solution or emulsion, the amount of solution or emulsion that is added to the alcoholic composition may be selected so that the amount of foaming surfactant falls within the ranges set forth hereinabove.
[0032] Foaming surfactant solutions and emulsions are commercially available, for example under the trade names Masurf FS-115 as a 14 wt. % solution of fluoroaliphatic phosphate ester in water, MasurM FS-130 as a 28 wt. % solution of fluoroaliphatic phosphate ester in water, available from Mason Chemical Company. As is known in the art, siloxane surfactants are also commercially available.
[0033] In certain embodiments, the alcoholic composition of the present invention further includes at least one foam stabilizer. In one embodiment, where the foaming surfactant comprises a fluorosurfactant, the foam stabilizer may be selected from polymeric or oligomeric foam stabilizers. In another embodiment, where the foaming surfactant comprises a siloxane surfactant, the foam stabilizer is optional, and may be polymeric or non-polymeric.
In one embodiment, the foam stabilizer comprises a cationic oligomer or polymer.
[00341 Advantageously, the alcoholic composition of these embodiments exhibits improved foam stability when compared to an alcoholic composition without the foani stabilizer. By "foam stability" is meant the length of time that it takes for a foam to break down into a liquid.
[00351 Polymeric foam stabilizers include polyquatemium polymers. In general, a polyquatemium polymer is one that is designated as such by the CTFA.
Polyquaternium polymers may be characterized by containing a quaternary ammonium group. Non-limiting examples of polyquaterniums include those listed in Table 1, below, including the INCI name and technical name.

[00401 In one embodiment, the foam stabilizer includes a VP/vinylcaprolactam/dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide copolymer sold under the trade names Aquaflex SF-40, or an isobutylene/dimethylaminopropyl maleimide/ethoxylated maleimide/maleic acid copolymer sold under the trade name Aquaflex XL-30.
100411 In one embodiment, foam stabilizer is present in an amount of from about 0.005 to about 4 weight percent active, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In another embodiment, the foam stabilizer is present in an amount of from about 0.01 to about 1 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition, and in yet another embodiment, the foam stabilizer is present in an amount of from about 0.02 to about 0.2 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[00421 In one embodiment, the foam stabilizer is added directly to the alcoholic composition. In one or more other embodiments, the foam stabilizer is added to the alcoholic composition as a solution or emulsion. In other words, the foam stabilizer may be premixed with a carrier to form a foam stabilizer solution or emulsion, with the proviso that the carrier does not deleteriously affect the foaming properties of the alcoholic composition. Examples of carriers include water, alcohol, glycols such as propylene or ethylene glycol, ketones, linear and/or cyclic hydrocarbons, triglycerides, carbonates, silicones, alkenes, esters such as acetates, benzoates, fatty esters, glyceryl esters, ethers, amides, polyethylene glycols and PEG/PPG copolymers, inorganic salt solutions such as saline, and mixtures thereof. It will be 5 understood that, when the foam stabilizer is premixed to form a foam stabilizer solution or emulsion, the amount of solution or emulsion that is added to the alcoholic composition is selected so that the amount of foam stabilizer falls within the ranges set forth hereinabove.
[0043] In one embodiment, the weight ratio of foaming surfactant to foam stabilizer is from about 3.5:1 to about 14.5:1, and in another embodiment, the weight ratio of foaming 10 surfactant to foam stabilizer is from about 8:1 to about 11:1.
[0044] In certain embodiments, the foam stabilizer increases the foam stability, i.e. the amount of time that it takes for foam to break down into a liquid.
Particularly, it has been found that, when the foaming surfactant comprises a fluorosurfactant, the presence of a foam stabilizer improves the stability of the foam. When the foaming surfactant comprises a 15 siloxane polymer, the foam stabilizer is optional.
[0045] The foam stabilizer may operate to improve the stability of the foam in any number of ways. In one or more embodiments, the foam stabilizer also improves the foam quality, i.e.
increases the number of bubbles and/or reduces the size of the bubbles.
[0046] Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 A is a photograph showing a surface with a stabilized foamed composition on the right and an unstabilized foamed composition on the left, immediately after the foams were dispensed. More specifically, both foamed compositions contain the same amounts of ethanol, fluorosurfactant, humectant, and water.
The foamed composition on the right also contains about 0.14 %byweight foam stabilizer. It can be seen that the unstabilized foam contains some small bubbles, but contains a greater amount of large, loose bubbles than the stabilized foam.
[0047] FIG. 1B is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
lA, 1 minute after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that, while the stabilized foam remain essentially unchanged, the unstabilized foam has bccome watery around the edges.
[0048] FIG. 1 C is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
IA, 3 minutes after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that the stabilized foam remains essentially unchanged, while the unstabilized foam has become very watery.
[0049] FIG. 1 D is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
1 A, 5 minutes after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that the stabilized foam remains essentially unchanged, while the unstabilized foam is primarily liquid, with only a few bubbles remaining.
[0050] FIG. 1 E is a photograph showing a surface with the foamed compositions of FIG.
lA, I hour after the foams were dispensed. It can be seen that, while the stabilized foam remains very foamy, the unstabilized foam has collapsed to become liquid. In embodiments, the stability of the foam produced when a composition comprising greater than 40 wt. %
alcohol, a fluorosurfactant, and a foam stabilizer is passed through a non-aerosol foaming pump at room temperature if greater than the stability of the foam produced when a composition not including the foam stabilizer is passed through the non-aerosol foaming pump.
100511 In one embodiment, the foam stability of the foam produced when the foamable alcoholic composition of the present invention is passed through a non-aerosol foaming pump at room. temperature is at least about 30 seconds, in another embodiment at least about three minutes, or in other words, the alcoholic composition maintains its foam form and doesn't break down into liquid form for at least three minutes. In another embodiment, the foam stability is at least about five minutes, and in yet another embodiment, the foam stability is at least about 15 minutes. In one or more embodiments, the foam stability is at least about 30 minutes, and in other embodiments, the foam stability is at least about 60 minutes.
[0052] The alcoholic composition of this invention may further include a wide range of optional ingredients, with the proviso that they do not deleteriously affect the foam forming properties of the alcoholic composition, or the stability of the foam. The CTFA International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, Eleventh Edition, 2005, and the International Buyer's Guide, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, describe a wide variety of non-limiting cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients commonly used in the skin care industry, that are suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention. Non-limiting examples of functional classes of ingredients are described in these references. Examples of these functional classes include: abrasives, anti-acne agents, anticaking agents, antioxidants, binders, biological additives, bulking agents, chelating agents, chemical additives; colorants, cosmetic astringents, cosmetic biocides, denaturants, drug astringents, emulsifiers, extemal analgesics, film formers, fragrance components, humectants, opacifying agents, plasticizers, preservatives, propellants, reducing agents, skin bleaching agents, skin-conditioning agents (emollient, humectants, miscellaneous, and occlusive), skin protectants, solvents, foam boosters, hydrotropes, solubilizing agents, suspending agents (nonsurfactant), sunscreen agents, ultraviolet light absorbers, detackifiers, and viscosity increasing agents (aqueous and nonaqueous). Examples of other functional classes of materials useful herein that are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art include solubilizing agents, sequestrants, and keratolytics, and the like. In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition further comprises glycerin.
[0053] Auxiliary surfactants may be included in the alcoholic compositions for the - purpose of boosting or modifying the foam quality and cFiaracteristics, for modifying the feel of the final formulation during rub in and/or dry time, for providing persistence or long-lasting microbial action of the alcohol, for solubilizing other ingredients such as fragrances or sunscreens, and for irritation mitigation. Auxiliary surfactants include, but are not necessarily limited to, sulfosuccinates, amine oxides, PEG-80 sorbitan laurate, polyglucosides, alkanolamides, sorbitan derivatives, fatty alcohol ethoxylates, quatemary ammonium compounds, amidoamines, sultaines, isothionates, sarcosinates, betaines, and fatty alcohol polyethylene glycols.
[0054] Although a propellant may be used to produce stable foam, advantageously a propellant is not necessary. In certain embodiments, the amount of propellant is less than about 1000 parts per million by weight, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition is substantially free of propellants, such as hydrocarbon propellants. By substantially free is meant that the amount of propellant in the alcoholic composition is less than about 100 parts pcr million by weight, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0055] In one embodiment, alcohol is the only active antimicrobial ingredient introduced into the composition, and in this embodiment the amount of auxiliary antimicrobial ingredients is less than about 0.1 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In other embodiments, the composition includes auxiliary antimicrobial agents in addition to alcohol. Examples of auxiliary antimicrobial agents include, but are not limited to, triclosan, also known as 5-chloro-2(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol and available from Ciba-Geigy Corporation under the tradename IRGASAN ; chloroxylenol, also known as 4-chloro-3,5-xylenol, available from Nipa Laboratories, Inc. under the tradenames NIPACIDE MX or PX; hexetidine, also known as 5 -amino- 1,3 -bis(2-ethylhexyl)-5 -methyl-hex ahydropyrimidine; chlorhexidine salts including chlorhexidine gluconate and the salts of N,N"-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,12-diimino-2,4,11,14-tetraazatetradecanediimidi amide;

and mixtures thereof. When used, the auxiliary antimicrobial agents are present in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 1 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.

[0057] In one or more embodiments, the balance of the alcoholic composition includes water or other suitable solvent. In one embodiment, one or more volatile silicone-based 5 materials are included in the formulation to further aid the evaporation process. Exemplary volatile silicones have a lower heat of evaporation than alcohol. In certain embodiments, use of silicone-based materials can lower the surface tension of the fluid composition. This provides greater contact with the surface. In one embodiment, the silicone-based material, such as cyclomethicone, trimethylsiloxy silicate or a combination thereof, may be included in 10 the forrnulation at a concentration of from about 4 wt. % to about 50 wt. %
and in another embodiment from about 5 wt. % to about 35 wt. %, and in yet another embodiment from about 11 wt. % to about 25 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition.
[0058] In certain embodiments, such as the rinse-off formulation described above, the balance of the alcoholic composition includes foaming surfactant.
15 [0059] The alcoholic composition may be prepared by simply mixing the components together. The order of addition is not particularly limited. In one embodiment, the skin sanitizing alcoholic composition is prepared by a method comprising dispersing foaming surfactant in alcohol with slow to moderate agitation, adding water, and then adding a foam stabilizer, and mixing until the mixture is homogeneous.
20 100601 The foamable composition of the present invention may be employed in any type of dispenser typically used for foam products. Advantageously, while the foamable composition can optionally be foamed by aerosolizing the composition, an aerosolized product is not necessary for foaming. Any dispenser that is capable of mixing the foamable alcoholic composition with air or an inert gas may be used. Inert gases include gas that does not substantially react or otherwise deleteriously affect the foamable composition. Examples of inert gases include nitrogen, argon, xenon, krypton, helium, neon, and radon.
In one embodiment, the alcoholic composition is used in dispensers that employ foaming pumps, which combine ambient air or an inert gas and the alcoholic composition in a mixing chamber and pass the mixture through a mesh screen. In this and other embodiments, the viscosity of the composition is less than about 100 mPas, in one embodiment less than about 50 mPas, and in another embodiment less than about 25mPas.
[0061] The alcoholic composition of the present invention produces stabilized foam. As a result, the foamed composition will be less likely to break down to a liquid state and drip from the foaming pump and/or associated dispenser elements.
[0062] Accordingly, the present invention further provides a method of reducing dripping of a composition from a foaming pump. When a foamable composition is dispensed by using a foamable pump, a portion of the dispensed composition, now in foam form, remains in the dispenser head until another aliquot is dispensed. If the foam in the dispenser head breaks down into liquid between uses of the dispenser, the liquid will drip out of the dispenser head.
The time between uses of the dispenser can be designated generally as X
minutes. "X" can vary widely.
[0063] Advantageously, the stabilized foam of the present invention does not drip from the dispenser when X is about 3 minutes or less. In one embodiment, the stabilized foam does not drip from the dispenser when X is about five minutes or less, and in another embodiment, when X is about 15 minutes or less. In one or more embodiments, the stabilized foam does not drip from the dispenser when X is about 30 minutes or less, and in other embodiments, the stabilized foam does not drip from the dispenser when X is about 60 minutes or less.
[0064] In order to demonstrate the practice of the present invention, the following examples have been prepared and tested. The examples should not, however, be viewed as limiting the scope of the invention. The claims will serve to define the invention.
Examples 100651 Example 1 was prepared by dispersing the fluorosurfactant, DEA-C8-18 perfluoroalkylether phosphate, in ethanol with slow to moderate agitation until a homogeneous dispersion was achieved. Next, humectant was added and mixed until the mixture was homogeneous. Water was added, with mixing. The solution was agitated until a homogeneous mixture was achieved.
[0066] The foamable mixture was passed through an Airspray foaming pump. The foam was rated for quality and stability as described hereinbelow, and the results are summarized in Table 2.
[0067] A simple 1 -5 rating system was used to rate the foam of each system, with 5 being the best.
[0068] Foam Quality Rating Scale: Quality is a measurement of the visible appearance of the dispensed foam when dispensed from a typical commercial foaming pump.
Scale0-5 0 No foam 1 Watery, weak foam with large loose bubbles 2 Large, loose bubbles, some small bubbles 3 Foam has about equal amounts of smaller and larger bubbles 4 Foam has primarily small, tight bubbles 5 Creamy, dense foam with small, tight bubbles [0069] Foam Stability Rating Scale. Stability was rated by measuring the time it takes for the foam to breakdown into a liquid. A poor stability rating correlates to dripping from a wall or table top dispenser. Ratings of 3 or higher show considerable stabilization of the alcohol foam.
Scale 0 - 5 0 Immediately melts (<30 seconds) 1 Melts in about 30-60 seconds 2 Melts in about 1-15 minutes 3 Melts in about 15-30 minutes 4 Melts in about 30-60 minutes 5 Foam remains after about 60 minutes [0070] Example 2 was prepared as described for Example 1, except that polyquaternium 11 was added after the water, and agitated until a homogeneous mixture was achieved. The foamable mixture was passed through a foaming pump and rated as for Example 1.
The results are summarized in Table 2. The term "qs" indicates a sufficient amount to total 100 percent.
