Description

Anti-mite composition

The present invention provides a mite repellent composition with long-lasting and wide-range mite repelling and mite prevention effects.

According to the report, mites are eight-legged creatures with a size of only about 0.2mm~0.3mm. They have an amazing reproductive capacity and can grow 17 times in just ten weeks. The humid environment and pleasant temperature in Taiwan are also very suitable for mites to reproduce. In addition, they have eight suction cups on their feet. Even if you use an air purifier or vacuum cleaner, you can only remove mites on the surface of objects, but not mites in deeper layers. Therefore, 92% of major allergies in Taiwan are caused by mites.

Although the Environmental Protection Agency has suggestions for preventing mites, the most effective way is still environmental management, such as reducing indoor humidity to below 50% and washing bedding frequently with hot water. However, people lead busy lives and spend their free time on leisure and entertainment, so they have little interest in spending time cleaning the environment.

There are many anti-mite sprays on the market. Generally speaking, no matter what the smell is, as long as it is natural essential oil, dust mites will be repelled or killed. However, the effect of existing sprays is limited. Generally, they are only effective where the spray is attached. The range is very small and it is easy for mites to avoid it. In addition, the spray effect is short-lived. It is known that the spray effect can be as short as a few hours or as long as one or two days. Basically, it can only be used for emergency purposes. In particular, the common anti-mite spray ingredients are mostly eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary, etc., and the effect is limited.

Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned problems and deficiencies in usage and create an environment that mites do not like is the direction that the applicant of this invention and related manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study and improve.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the applicant of this invention has collected relevant information, evaluated and considered various aspects, and used the years of experience accumulated in this industry, through continuous trials and modifications, to design the invention patent of this anti-mite agent composition with long-term and wide-range mite repelling and mite prevention effects.

The main purpose of the present invention is to mix eight ingredients including citronellol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, geranyl acetate, geraniol, terpineol, citronellol formate, and nerol in a specific ratio to provide a mite repelling and mite prevention effect that cannot be achieved by general mite repellent sprays.

To achieve the above purpose, the main structure of the present invention includes: 1% to 5% by weight of citronellol, 15% to 30% by weight of linalool, 1% to 5% by weight of phenylethyl alcohol, 5% to 10% by weight of geranyl acetate, 10% to 25% by weight of geraniol, 1% to 5% by weight of terpineol, 5% to 10% by weight of citronellol formate, 1% to 10% by weight of nerol, and 25% to 40% by weight of an anticoagulant.

Through the above technology, the problems of conventional anti-mite sprays, such as the small area where they are applied and the insects easily avoid them, the short duration of application and the limited effect of using only common ingredients, can be overcome, and the practical progress of the above advantages can be achieved.

Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic diagram of the composition of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the anti-mite composition 1 of the present invention mainly includes: 1% to 5% by weight of citronellol, 15% to 30% by weight of linalool, 1% to 5% by weight of phenylethyl alcohol, 5% to 10% by weight of geranyl acetate, 10% to 25% by weight of geraniol, 1% to 5% by weight of terpineol, 5% to 10% by weight of citronellyle formiate, 1% to 10% by weight of nerol, and 25% to 40% by weight of anticoagulant.

Through the above explanation, we can understand the structure of this technology. According to the corresponding coordination of this structure, we can achieve the advantages of long-term and wide-range mite repelling and mite prevention. The detailed explanation will be given below.

Please refer to the first to third figures at the same time, which are the component composition schematic diagrams to the implementation schematic diagrams of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. When the above components are assembled, it can be clearly seen from the figures that the component composition schematic diagram of the first figure presents the proportion range of each component in a long bar graph, and each component is represented by two long bars with a lower limit value and an upper limit value.

Citronellol is an organic substance that is soluble in ethanol and most non-volatile oils and propylene glycol. It has a sweet rose scent and is often used to blend floral scents. It also has antibacterial effects, such as inhibiting the activity of Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus typhi. Therefore, in addition to its aromatic function, citronellol itself is also a good mosquito repellent within a short distance.

Linalool is a colorless oily liquid with the scent of lilac, bell orchid and rose, as well as woody and fruity aroma. It has a soft, light and penetrating aroma without camphor or terpene smell. It is insoluble in water, but can be miscible with ethanol and ether. Linalool and its acetate can inhibit the growth of fungal spores or mycelium, and have a certain anti-mold effect. It also has a good antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Aspergillus niger. Therefore, in addition to its aromatic function, linalool itself also has a certain degree of anti-mold and antibacterial effect.

Geraniol is a colorless to yellow oily liquid at room temperature. It has a mild, slightly sweet rose scent. It is the main aromatic molecule in essential oils such as palm grass and geranium. It tastes bitter and is difficult to dissolve in water, but it can be dissolved in organic solvents. There are also literatures that prove that geraniol has the effect of blocking the growth of the mites' nervous system. Therefore, in addition to its aromatic function, geraniol itself can be used as the main ingredient for anti-mite.

Phenylethyl alcohol is a colorless transparent liquid, slightly soluble in water, miscible with organic solvents such as alcohol and ether, has a typical rose scent, and can be used as a preservative or antibacterial agent due to its stable chemical properties.

Geranyl acetate is a colorless to yellow oily liquid at room temperature. It has the aroma of rose and lavender. It is insoluble in water and glycerin, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol. It is often used to prepare floral fragrances such as rose, orange blossom, osmanthus, or fragrances in cosmetics and soaps.

Terpineol is a colorless transparent liquid at room temperature. It is commonly divided into four molecular formulas with different smells, such as rosin, citrus, vanilla, and needles. The rosin smell has a considerable bactericidal ability against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Terpineol also has a relaxing and calming effect, as well as a slight insect repellent effect. It is also an excellent antioxidant. Therefore, in addition to its aromatic function, terpineol itself also has other functions such as sterilization, insect repellent, stress relief, and antioxidant.

Citronellyl formate is a light yellow transparent liquid with the aroma of sweet rose and myrtle, and a slight fresh fragrance of lemon and cucumber. It is insoluble in water and glycerin, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol. It is widely used in various floral daily flavors, and edible flavors such as apple, sweet orange, peach, and plum.

Nerolidol is a colorless liquid with a peaceful aroma of rose and orange blossom, a hint of lemon and citrus fruit, and has a temporary soothing effect on the nerves.

In the anti-mite composition 1 of the present invention, the eight components of citronellol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, geranyl acetate, geraniol, terpineol, citronellol formate, and nerol each have the same or different aromas. After being mixed in appropriate proportions, they have a complex and soft aroma that smells pleasant. Citronellol and terpineol have mosquito repellent effects, and they have a very unpleasant smell for mites. Because it is a complex aroma, mites are not easy to adapt to this smell, and this smell can be used to prolong the anti-mite effect. In addition, citronellol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, and terpineol themselves have antibacterial effects on the same or different strains of bacteria, especially linalool can also inhibit the growth of molds and has a mildew-proof effect.

Geraniol is still used as the main anti-mite component of the anti-mite agent composition 1 because it has the effect of blocking the growth of the mites' nervous system. However, the anti-mite effect of geraniol alone is not satisfactory in actual use experience, although it is more effective than other common ingredients. Experiments have shown that when eight ingredients, including citronellol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, geranyl acetate, geraniol, terpineol, citronellyl formate, and nerol, are mixed with an anticoagulant as a carrier, they have an anti-mite effect of one plus one being greater than two. In particular, when mixed at a specific weight percentage of the present invention, the anti-mite effect can reach three times the effect of general ingredients. When using, you can use a fragrance machine 2 or an air purifier that can add essential oils to it, and atomize the anti-mite agent composition 1 and disperse it in the air to achieve the effect of preventing and repelling mites.

The anticoagulant is used to prevent the liquid from solidifying, and can be selected from ethanol, dipropylene glycol, and propylene glycol. In this embodiment, ethanol is used as an example. Most of the eight components, including citronellol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, geranyl acetate, geraniol, terpineol, citronellol formate, and nerol, are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents (such as ethanol). Combined with the antiseptic effect of phenylethyl alcohol and the antioxidant effect of terpineol, the service life of the anti-mite composition 1 can be effectively extended and the storage is also easier. For example, the anti-mite composition 1 can be placed in a transparent glass jar 3 and stored in a cool place.

Please refer to the fourth and fifth figures at the same time, which are a schematic diagram of the composition of another preferred embodiment of the present invention and a schematic diagram of the implementation. It can be clearly seen from the figure that this embodiment is similar to the above embodiment, except that the preferred composition ratio of each component of the anti-mite agent composition 1 is presented in a pie chart, wherein the preferred weight percentage of citronellol is 3%, the preferred weight percentage of linalool is 22%, and the preferred weight percentage of phenethyl is 10%. The preferred weight percentage of alcohol is 2%, the preferred weight percentage of geranyl acetate is 7%, the preferred weight percentage of geraniol is 18%, the preferred weight percentage of terpineol is 3%, the preferred weight percentage of citronellyl formate is 7%, the preferred weight percentage of nerol is 5%, and the preferred weight percentage of anticoagulant is 33%. Experiments have shown that the above ratio is the best composition ratio for anti-mite effect. In addition, this embodiment presents the anti-mite agent composition 1 in the form of a spray can 4, which can be used by users to spray the area to be strengthened or bedding parts (such as flannel sofas) locally.

However, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Therefore, all simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings should be included in the patent scope of the present invention and should be stated.

In summary, the anti-mite composition of the present invention can achieve its efficacy and purpose when used. Therefore, the present invention is truly an invention with excellent practicality. In order to meet the application requirements for invention patents, an application is filed in accordance with the law. I hope that the review committee will approve the present invention as soon as possible to protect the applicant's hard work. If the review committee of the Jun Bureau has any doubts, please feel free to write to us for instructions. The applicant will do his best to cooperate and will be grateful for the convenience.
