The carbonated bathing agent in the present invention may be any publicly known one.

As the carbonate bathing agent preferably used in the present invention, those described in Japanese Patent No. 6268332 previously proposed by the present inventor can be used, and examples thereof are given below.

In the present invention, bicarbonate is granulated with polyethylene glycol (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “PEG”) or the like, and then an organic acid (particularly citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid or fumaric acid) is mixed with PEG. Or by granulating, mixing each under a condition of a certain ratio, adding the excipient of the present invention to form tablets by compression molding, and designing the pH of the tablets immediately after dissolution to be in the following range. When water penetrates the tablet, it reacts vigorously and uniformly and continuously to generate carbon dioxide gas, and the generated carbon dioxide gas bubbles can be generated as micro-sized fine carbon dioxide gas for a long time, and the tablet dissolves. The micro-sized bubbles continue to be foamed until the end, and the pH of the water is adjusted to 5.5 or higher so that the bubbles are neutralized in water and dissociate into bicarbonate ions before the bubbles volatilize into the air to dissolve a high concentration of bicarbonate ions. The effect of the present invention is maximized when it is designed to be 9.0, preferably 6.0 to 8.5, and particularly 6.3 to 8.0.

Further, in the present invention, since the mixture of bicarbonates is a granulated product prepared by coating with PEG using a fluidized bed, the effects of the present invention such as continuous and uniform reaction in tablets are obtained. The expression of is greatly exerted.

Further, in the present invention, the higher the tablet hardness is 15 kg or more, preferably 25 kg or more, and particularly preferably 30 kg or more, the continuous and stable reaction of the chlorine-neutralizing compound is obtained, and the chlorine neutralization inside the tablet is achieved. It is preferable that the portion in which the reaction is suppressed and the tablets are dissolved is molded to have high hardness so as to quickly remove chlorine in hot water.
The higher the chlorine removal effect, the greater the effect on health promotion such as blood circulation promotion and body temperature increase even when taking a shower bath.

Further, in the present invention, as the tablet friability is 10.0 wt% or less, particularly preferably 5.0 wt% or less, more preferably 3.0 wt% or less, a continuous stable reaction of the chlorine-neutralizing compound is obtained, Not only can the chlorine neutralization reaction efficiency inside the tablet be maximized, but health-promoting effects such as blood circulation promotion and body temperature increase can be exhibited even when taking a shower bath.

Examples of the organic acid used in the present invention include citric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, etc., but particularly when citric acid is used as the organic acid, the neutralization reaction in the tablet is suppressed and chlorine is removed in hot water. It is possible to enhance the ability and realize fine carbon dioxide gas foaming, and the effect of the present invention is more remarkably exhibited as a preferable compound.

When a granulated product is obtained by granulating at least one of bicarbonate and organic acid in a fluidized bed, when a mechanical fluidized bed granulator that does not substantially use air as a stirring action is used, The reaction can be efficiently enhanced. As the fluidized bed of the mechanical stirring method, the powder is fluidized by using mechanical blades such as a propeller without using the air for stirring. In this case, it is possible to reduce the amount of PEG and granulate by reducing the amount of PEG, without absorbing moisture brought in from humid air during granulation, and also by using a vacuum pump during granulation. It is preferably used because the effect of making the diameter of foaming bubbles extremely small can be exhibited while making the reaction more active.

A mechanical fluidized bed granulator that does not substantially use air as a stirring action is preferably used, a plow shovel is arranged in a horizontal drum, centrifugal diffusion and vortex action are caused, and a mixer for three-dimensional flow is used. This type of granulator is commercially available, for example, as manufactured by Reedige Germany or Matsuzaka Giken.

The granulator is more preferably equipped with a vacuum pump for reducing the pressure. That is, the effect of the present invention can be improved by reducing the pressure during cooling and operating so that the water content may fly even a little.

Further, it is preferable that a chopper is provided to prevent the granulated granules from becoming coarse particles upon cooling. That is, by operating the chopper at the time of cooling to regulate the particle size, the effect of making the diameter of the carbon dioxide gas bubbles in the present invention more microscopic is exhibited, and a more preferable granulation method is obtained.

In the present invention, the most preferred production method is to granulate sodium bicarbonate with a fluidized bed granulator using PEG and a mechanical stirring method, and add a certain proportion of organic acid, anhydrous sodium carbonate and PEG to the granulated product. Is added and mixed, and then compression-molded under high pressure to obtain tablets.

Of course, a mixture mainly containing an organic acid may be granulated using PEG, and a bicarbonate may be mixed with PEG without granulation to obtain a tablet by compression molding with an organic acid granulated product. Since the amount of the compound to be granulated is relatively small, it is a preferable method as a manufacturing method from the viewpoint of steps. In any case, from the viewpoint of cost, it is desirable to granulate either the bicarbonate or the organic acid, and mix the other one to produce. By compression-molding this granulated product into a single-agent tablet, the neutralization reaction of the present invention can be maintained for a long time and the amount of dissolved carbon dioxide gas can be increased. However, it is also a preferable production method to use both the bicarbonate and the organic acid by mixing them with PEG or coating them.

The PEG used in the present invention preferably has an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 8,000 in order to achieve the effects of the present invention. From the viewpoint of improvement of molding stability, punch adhesion resistance, capping, and tablet forming speed by a compression molding tableting machine such as a rotary tableting machine, PEG having an average molecular weight of about 4,000 to 6,000, particularly preferably PEG6000, The granulation result can be made favorable, and when the tablet is dissolved in hot water, the carbon dioxide gas component can be dissolved in bicarbonate ion to the maximum extent.

The ratio of PEG to 100 parts by mass of the mixture A (which may be the granulated product A) of bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen carbonate or potassium hydrogen carbonate) is 1/100 to 1/5, particularly preferably 1/100. If the ratio of PEG is less than the above amount, it becomes difficult to obtain sufficiently high hardness, or it becomes difficult to obtain sufficiently low friability, the diameter of carbon dioxide gas bubbles becomes large, and the foaming time increases. In some cases, the concentration of bicarbonate ions that dissolve in water cannot be increased, and when the amount of PEG is greater than the above, the amount of carbon dioxide gas bubbles generated is suppressed, and the amount of bicarbonate that dissolves in water is also reduced. The amount of carbonate ions may become small.

In the present invention, after the granules A or PEG mixture A of bicarbonate is obtained, the organic acid or the organic acid granules B or the PEG organic acid mixture B is added in the step of adding anhydrous sodium carbonate or anhydrous potassium carbonate. By adding an anhydride such as, it is possible to more significantly exert the effect of the present invention, while making the bubble diameter of carbon dioxide a small microsize, the effect of increasing the amount of foaming and maintaining it for a long time Is obtained.

As the above-mentioned anhydride, the effect of the present invention, which is more preferable when anhydrous sodium carbonate or anhydrous potassium carbonate is added, can be exhibited.

Further, in the present invention, at least one selected from C6 to C18 alkane sulfonate, olefin acid sulfonate and sucrose fatty acid ester, sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate and PEG are not added to the organic acid in the present invention. It was found that the carbon dioxide component dissolved in hot and cold water can be increased by expanding the micro-sized bubbles of the present invention for a long time when the mixture A is compression-molded with the mixture A to give tablets. A tablet could be obtained. In this case, the manufacturing process can be largely omitted, and the manufacturing method is also desirable in terms of cost efficiency.

On the other hand, an organic acid is mixed with PEG and at least one excipient according to the present invention selected from C6 to C18 alkane sulfonate, olefin acid sulfonate and sucrose fatty acid ester, sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, Alternatively, when granulating, mixing with Mixture A at a constant temperature, and compression-molding, the micro-sized bubbles of the present invention are foamed for a long time to maximize the carbon dioxide gas component dissolved in water and stabilize chlorine removal urinary power. It was found that a tablet that can be maintained until the end can be obtained, which is a desirable manufacturing method.

The use ratio of PEG to the organic acid in this production method is preferably 5 to 15 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the organic acid.

The amount of the granulated product B or mixture B added to the granulated product A or mixture A of bicarbonate is 1/100 to 2/3, preferably 1/50 to 2/3, particularly preferably 1/10 to 1 /3.

The effect of the present invention can be obtained by adding the above-mentioned anhydride to the organic acid without particular granulation, but it is more preferable to add it together with PEG or to make it into granule B and mix it with granule A. Then, tableting by compression molding can produce a tablet having a preferable neutralization reactivity.

Further, in the present invention, the above anhydrous process is performed in any step during compression molding, such as a step of preparing the granulated material A or the mixture A, or a step of mixing the granulated material A and the mixture B or the granulated material B. It is preferable to add a substance.

In the present invention, excipients used for powder mixing and tableting are sodium alkane sulfonate having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, sodium olefin sulfonate having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, sucrose fatty acid ester, sodium sulfate, Magnesium sulfate and the like. Preferred compounds to be used are sodium n-(normal) octane sulfonate, sodium tetradecene sulfonate, a mixture of sodium alkane sulfonates of C6 to C18, sucrose laurate, sucrose myristate, sucrose palmitate. The ester sodium sulfate magnesium sulfate is used. Among these, sodium n-(normal) octane sulfonate, sodium tetradecene sulfonate, and sodium n-heptane sulfonate are particularly preferable for effectively achieving the object of the present invention.
The amount of sodium n-(normal)octane sulfonate, sodium tetradecene sulfonate, or sodium n-heptane sulfonate of the present invention added is 1/10 to 1/l based on the organic acid used in the tablet of the present invention. The amount is preferably 1000. The amount of other excipients added may be the same.

Particularly desirable sodium alkane sulfonate and sodium olefin sulfonate include at least one of a mixture of sodium alkane sulfonate of C6 to C18, sodium tetradecene sulfonate, and sodium normal octane sulfonate.

Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, dry sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, silicic acid anhydride, sodium hydroxide, dextrin, and calcium silicate are the additives that exhibit the effect of the present invention. In addition, other additives such as fragrances, pigments, and surfactants are included.

In the compression molding for producing the tablet according to the present invention, a known compression molding machine can be used without any special limitation, and for example, a hydraulic press machine, a single-shot tableting machine, a rotary tableting machine, a briquetting machine, etc. Can be used. The size of the punch used in this tableting machine or the like is preferably 7 mm or more when the punch is circular, and when the punch is triangular or quadrangular, the diameter is 7 mm or more when converted to a circular punch. Those are preferable. The same applies to the thickness of the punch. When a round tablet is obtained, the diameter of the tablet is preferably 7 mm or more, more preferably 10 mm or more, and the thickness is 7 mm or more, preferably 10 mm or more. In terms of conversion, each of the diameter and the thickness is preferably 7 mm or more, and particularly preferably 10 mm or more.

As described above, the tablet according to the present invention does not necessarily have a circular shape having a flat surface, and the shape thereof is not limited to an oval shape, a so-called tablet shape, or a spherical shape as long as it is a solid substance having a size of 7 mm or more.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the hardness and friability of the present invention and the tablet of a certain size or more slowly cause micro-sized effervescence to more efficiently dissolve carbon dioxide in hot and cold water, and therefore the hardness is 15 kg. As described above, it is preferably 25 kg or more, particularly preferably 35 kg or more, and the friability is 10.0 wt% or less, preferably 5 wt% or less, particularly preferably 3 wt% or less, and the diameter or thickness is particularly preferably 10 mm or more, The generation of carbon dioxide gas in the tablet occurs more effectively, the carbon dioxide gas is efficiently dissolved in water, the diameter of bubbles becomes finer, and the object of the present invention can be effectively achieved.

The hardness of the tablet according to the present invention will be described below.

In order to realize the present invention, the hardness as the tablet breaking strength from the diametrical direction used in the examples of many patent specifications was measured.

According to this method, the breaking strength of the tablet is measured. The hardness [kg] of the tablet was measured four times using a digital tablet hardness meter New Speed Checker TS75NL manufactured by Okada Seiko Co., Ltd. as a method for measuring the hardness in the diameter direction. .. In this case, the hardness was reproducible, and no large variation in the value was observed.

When the bubble diameter of carbon dioxide gas generated in hot and cold water, which is a preferable tablet condition of the present invention, is visually measured, the tablet diameter is 7 mm or more, particularly 10 mm or more, and the bubbles are uniformly generated without any merger of the bubbles, and the neutralization reaction is performed. The tablets react until the tablets are completely dissolved, and the carbon dioxide is neutralized so that bicarbonate ions can be efficiently dissolved in hot and cold water. Even if it was measured, if it was an average value of four measurements, the fluctuation range of the measured value was negligible, and it was confirmed that the tablet had an average hardness of 15 kg or more, particularly 25 kg or more.

Hereinafter, the friability of the tablet according to the present invention will be described. As for the friability, tablets are placed in a tablet friability tester (Kayagaki Medical Science Co., Ltd.) so that the tablet weight is 31 g or more. For example, when the weight of one tablet is 15 g, 3 tablets are put and rotated for 2 minutes (rotation speed is 25 rotations/minute). After finishing, the powder on the surface of each tablet is brushed off (abrasion) with a brush (for example, used for cleaning an analytical balance), and calculated by the following formula.
[(Total tablet weight before abrasion (g)-total tablet weight after abrasion (g) total)/tablet weight before abrasion (total) (g)] x 100 = tablet friability (wt%)
In addition, for example, when one tablet has a tablet weight of 40 g, one tablet is put, and when 60 g, one tablet is put, and when one tablet is 16.5 g, two tablets are put.

When the tablet friability is 10.0 wt% or less, micro-sized foaming in the tablet can be caused slowly, and the dissolution of carbon dioxide in the liquid can be efficiently controlled. Therefore, the friability is 10.0 wt% or less, preferably 5.0 wt% or less, and particularly preferably 3.0 wt% or less. The friability in the present invention means that carbon dioxide gas is generated more efficiently in the tablet after the dissolution of the tablet is started, the carbon dioxide gas is efficiently dissolved in water, and the bubble diameter is It becomes finer, and the effect of the present invention is excellently exhibited.

In the present invention, it is desirable to add no compound other than the compound of the present invention as much as possible, but it is also possible to add one or more of an acidic component, an alkaline component, a scent component, and if necessary, a hot spring component.

As described above, after adding the necessary components of the present invention in a preferred amount ratio of the present invention, a pH adjusting agent that sufficiently exerts the effects of the present invention is added to adjust the pH in water after dissolution. It is important to make it within the scope of the invention.
