Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wet adhesive composition and a patch using the same, and more particularly, to a patch comprising the composition at least with water and a hydrophilic medium (methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol). The present invention relates to a patch which exhibits tackiness when the surface layer is wetted or wetted. The present invention also relates to a method for using a patch using the composition. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The patch of the present invention is useful as a plug removal agent capable of satisfactorily removing plugs formed in pores, as a skin covering material for wet or wet skin, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Skin covering materials used in hospitals and the like (medical materials affixed to the skin such as dressings) are made of natural rubber-based or acrylic-based medical materials in order to obtain good adhesion to the skin. Adhesive is used. Since these are designed to have good adhesion to the skin, adhesion to a wet surface cannot be expected. In addition, the moisture permeability of the pressure-sensitive adhesive is increased, a water-absorbing polymer is added to the pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a fine through-hole is provided in the base material / pressure-sensitive adhesive, but the adhesiveness to a wet surface is not sufficient. .

[0003] Furthermore, cosmetic packs, especially peel-off type packs, are of a type in which a film-forming agent is formed on the skin surface, and after a certain period of time, the film is formed and then peeled off from the skin. These products are known in the form of jelly, paste and powder. However, the conventional peel-off type pack has a problem in that the standing time until a film is formed after application to the skin, that is, the time required for drying is long.

[0004] The pack is generally made of a composition containing various water-soluble organic polymers as a main component, and is made wet or wet by water or a hydrophilic medium to exhibit adhesiveness. After being brought into a wet state or a wet state by being brought into contact with water or a hydrophilic medium before application, it is attached to an application site, or water or a hydrophilic medium is applied to an application site in advance, and then used after application. .

[0005] When the water-soluble organic polymer has an excessively high molecular weight, there is a problem that it takes a long time to exhibit adhesiveness through water or a hydrophilic medium. On the other hand, a low molecular weight water-soluble organic polymer has the advantage of exhibiting adhesiveness quickly through water or a hydrophilic medium and exhibiting adhesiveness in a short time, but has a low molecular weight, so that it can be mechanically used even in a dry state. Because of its low mechanical strength, not only is it difficult to peel off the dried composition sheet, but also there is a problem that a peeling residue is generated after peeling.

Further, since the amount of water or hydrophilic medium on the surface to be applied varies depending on the application site and the application time, it is generally necessary to obtain a stable application effect even under such conditions. The composition is usually 100 to 300
It is used with a relatively thick film of μm. As a result, there is a problem that a long time is required for drying the coating, or the coating is foamed during the drying process to lower the film strength. Due to foaming and a decrease in film strength, peeling and removal after drying is difficult, and there is a problem that a peeling residue is generated after peeling.

The inventors of the present invention have conducted various studies to solve the above problems. As a result, when inorganic or organic fillers were added to a specific water-soluble organic polymer, the above problems were unexpectedly solved. The present invention has been completed based on the new finding that it can be obtained.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention can solve the above-mentioned problems, exhibits tackiness with water or a hydrophilic medium, adheres well to a sticking site, and dries quickly, and It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition in which the mechanical strength of a dried film is high and peeling is easy.

The present invention has the following features. (1) A wet adhesive composition containing polyethylene oxide as the component A, a liquid plasticizer compatible with the component A as the component B, and a filler as the component C. (2) An adhesive material having at least an adhesive layer containing the wet adhesive composition of (1). (3) The patch according to (2), which has a holding layer on one side of the patch layer. (4) The adhesive material according to (2) or (3), wherein the adhesive layer contains water or a hydrophilic medium at a ratio of 20% by weight or less. (5) The patch according to (3) or (4), wherein the air permeability of the holding layer measured according to JIS P-8117 is 10 seconds or less. (6) The patch according to any one of (2) to (5), further comprising a release layer on the patch layer. (7) A method of using the patch, wherein the surface of the patch layer of the patch according to any one of (2) to (6) is brought into a wet state or a wet state by being brought into contact with water or a hydrophilic medium before the application. (8) After applying water or a hydrophilic medium to the application site in advance,
(2) A method of using the patch, wherein the patch according to any one of (6) to (6) is attached to the attachment site.

[0010]

When a patch is produced by incorporating the component C into the wet-adhesive composition of the present invention, the adhesive layer is wetted or wetted by water or a hydrophilic medium when the patch is produced. When made into a dry state after being made into a property, its mechanical strength is improved. Therefore, the range of selection of a low molecular weight material that easily wets as the component A and easily exhibits tackiness is widened. In addition, since the time required for drying after application is reduced by including the component C, a long time is not required for drying as in the related art even if the application layer is a thick film. The reason that the patch of the present invention dries in a shorter time than in the past is presumed that the interface between the C component and the AB component functions as a path for water dissipation.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The wet adhesive composition of the present invention contains polyethylene oxide as the component A, a liquid plasticizer compatible with the component A as the component B, and a filler as the component C.

As the component A, polyethylene oxide is used. If the molecular weight of the component A is too large, the adhesive layer obtained from the wet adhesive composition of the present invention tends to have insufficient adhesive strength with water or a hydrophilic medium. On the other hand, if the molecular weight is too low, even under the mixture of component C, the mechanical strength of the adhesive layer obtained from the wet adhesive composition of the present invention tends to decrease, and after application, the adhesive layer is dried. There is a problem that a part of the adhesive material remains when the adhesive material is peeled off from the application site. Therefore, as the A component,
Those having an average molecular weight of 10,000 to 2,000,000, especially 50,000 to 1
One million is preferred.

As the component B, a material which is compatible with the component A and which exhibits a plasticizing effect when dissolved is used. For example, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, hexamethylene glycol, other polyethylene glycols, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, other polypropylene glycols, glycerin, diglycerin, other polyglycerins, 1,3-butylene glycol , 1,4
-Butylene glycols such as butylene glycol,
Sorbitol, sugar alcohols such as mannitol, lanolin, lecithin, glycerides such as olive oil,
And the like. The component B may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

As the C component, various inorganic or organic fillers that are hardly soluble or insoluble in the mixture of the A component and the B component are used. As the inorganic filler, for example, silica, alumina, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, talc,
Examples thereof include inorganic oxides and composite oxides such as clay, kaolin, and glass; other inorganic compounds such as barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, hydroxyapatite, ceramics, and carbon; and metals such as metals and alloys. . Examples of the organic filler include fiber-forming organic polymers such as cellulose, silk, polyester, and polyolefin; polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, styrene, and other organic polymers. These fillers are usually preferably in a powder state, and the shape is not particularly limited, but is preferably spherical from the viewpoint of uniform dispersibility, and the average particle size is 0.0
Those having a thickness of 1 to 50 μm, particularly 0.1 to 10 μm are preferred. The C component may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

If the amount of the component B is too large with respect to the amount of the component A, the mechanical strength of the patch obtained from the composition of the present invention after being applied and dried is poor, and conversely the amount is too small. In addition, the flexibility of the patch obtained from the composition of the present invention is poor, and it is difficult to favorably fit the shape of the patch site. Also, if the amount of the component C is too large relative to the amount of the component A, the flexibility of the patch obtained from the composition of the present invention is poor, making it difficult to fit the shape of the patch site well. In this case, the effect of improving the mechanical strength after the patch obtained from the composition of the present invention is applied and dried is poor, and the time required for drying after the application is long. The amount of the component B is preferably 1 to 7 per 100 parts by weight of the component A.
It is 5 parts by weight, more preferably 5 to 50 parts by weight. The amount of the component C is preferably 10 to 200 parts by weight, more preferably 25 to 100 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the component A.

The patch of the present invention has at least a patch layer containing the above-mentioned wet adhesive composition. This adhesive material may be used as a sheet-like material consisting of an adhesive layer alone, but not only is it easy to handle in general, but also the mechanical strength of the adhesive material is improved and the peeling performance is further improved. It is preferable to have a holding layer on one side.

The holding layer may be of various structures made of various materials as long as it contributes to the improvement of the mechanical strength without impairing the drying speed of the adhesive layer after application and the flexibility before and after application. . Regarding the structure, a sheet-like material such as an aggregate of fibers such as a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, a knitted fabric, and paper, and a film such as a porous film and a gas-permeable film is exemplified. In particular, those having an appropriate elasticity that is easily adapted to the curved surface of the portion to be stuck are particularly preferable. As for the material, synthetic or natural organic polymers such as nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane and cellulose are exemplified.

If the air permeability of the holding layer is insufficient, drying of the adhesive layer after application is delayed, and there is a possibility that a peeling residue may be generated at the site of application when peeling. Therefore, the air permeability of the holding layer is determined by JI
It is preferable that the value measured according to the method of SP-8117 is 10 seconds or less. The thickness is 5 to 500 μm
And particularly preferably about 10 to 200 μm.

When the patch of the present invention has a holding layer, a state in which the sticking layer is simply laminated on one side of the holding layer and a state in which a part of the composition of the sticking layer is impregnated from one side of the holding layer into the inside. Any of them may be used. In the latter case, when the composition of the impregnated adhesive layer extends to the surface opposite to the surface on which the adhesive layer is formed of the retaining layer, if the adhesive layer absorbs excessive water or a hydrophilic medium, the adhesive layer is adhered. The surface opposite to the layer-forming surface may be sticky, causing inconvenience in handling. Therefore, in this case, it is preferable that the impregnation of the adhesive layer with the composition does not extend to the opposite surface of the holding layer.

The adhesive layer contains the above-mentioned wet adhesive composition, and a coating solution comprising the wet adhesive composition and water or a hydrophilic medium is applied to a film or the like (when a holding layer and a release layer are provided). Are formed by applying them on these layers and drying them. The adhesive material of the present invention absorbs water or a hydrophilic medium applied to the application site, or absorbs water or a hydrophilic medium applied in advance, and exhibits adhesiveness. It is preferable that the content of the medium is set in advance, and that the water or hydrophilic medium has good absorbability and can easily exhibit the adhesive effect.
% By weight, particularly preferably 15% by weight or less. When the content exceeds 20% by weight, the absorbability of water or a hydrophilic medium tends to be poor, and the adhesive effect may be poor.

If the mechanical strength of the adhesive layer in the dry state after application is too low, a peeling residue is likely to be generated at the application site during peeling because the film is weak. On the other hand, if the mechanical strength is excessive, the flexibility is poor and it is difficult to fit the shape of the sticking portion satisfactorily, and problems such as pain when peeling are liable to occur. The adhesive layer having such mechanical strength determines the compounding ratio by trial and error within the range of the compounding amount described above in consideration of the type and physical properties of the component A, component B, and component C to be used. It can be easily manufactured.

The amount of water or hydrophilic medium previously applied to the adhesive layer or the amount of water or hydrophilic medium previously applied to the application site differs for each use. It is preferable to have a thickness capable of absorbing the carbon dioxide, specifically, about 10 to 500 μm, particularly 50 to 25 μm.
About 0 μm is preferable.

The adhesive material of the present invention is preferably further provided with a release layer on the adhesive layer from the viewpoint that the adhesive layer can be stored hygienically and that the adhesive material can be stacked or stored in a roll. . Examples of the release layer include polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, paper whose surface is polymer-treated, and other films and sheets.

When the patch of the present invention has a holding layer and a release layer, it can be produced, for example, by the following method. Add B and C components to A component,
After stirring uniformly, water or a hydrophilic medium is added to adjust the viscosity and concentration to 20 to 70% by weight to make a liquid. Next, the liquid material is applied on the release layer in such an amount that the thickness after drying falls within a desired range, and dried as necessary to form an adhesive layer. Next, a holding layer is laminated thereon and dried to obtain a patch. The drying conditions are such that the content of water or hydrophilic medium in the obtained adhesive layer is 30% by weight.
The following conditions are selected.

The above liquid material may contain cosmetics, if necessary.
Perfumes, fungicides, coloring agents, alcohols, drugs, ultraviolet absorbers, or other drugs and additives commonly used in patches can be added in usual amounts.

The obtained patch is cut into an arbitrary shape, and the release layer is peeled off immediately before use. In addition, during storage of the patch, the patch is stored under appropriate humidity conditions in order to prevent a decrease in the content of water or a hydrophilic medium in the patch by drying.

When using the above-mentioned adhesive material, water or a hydrophilic medium is applied to the adhesive layer before application to make it wet or wet, and then it is applied to the application site, or
After applying water or a hydrophilic medium to the application site in advance, the application material is applied to the application site.

Such an adhesive material is a plug plug removing agent which can satisfactorily remove plug plugs formed in pores, such as a cosmetic pack such as a peel-off type pack, or a wet or wet plug plug. It is useful as a skin covering material for the skin surface.
