Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of daily chemicals, in particular to microemulsion and a preparation method thereof.

Background

If the diameter of dispersed liquid drops is between 5nm and 100nm after two or more mutually immiscible liquids are mixed and emulsified, the system is called microemulsion. Microemulsions are transparent disperse systems whose formation is related to the solubilization of micelles, also known as "swollen micellar solutions" or "micellar emulsions", microemulsions for short. Microemulsions are generally transparent or translucent liquid stable systems composed of oil, water, surfactants, co-surfactants, and electrolytes, among others. The microemulsion is characterized in that the size of dispersed phase particles is 0.01-0.1 mu m, the particles are uniform and invisible under a microscope; the particles are spherical; the microemulsion is semitransparent or transparent, the thermodynamics is stable, if the system is transparent, the fluidity is good, and the microemulsion is not layered after being separated for five minutes by using the centrifugal acceleration of 100g of a centrifugal machine; is miscible with oil and water in a certain range. The system in which the dispersed phase is oil and the dispersion medium is water is called O/W type microemulsion, and vice versa is called W/O type microemulsion.

In the existing method for preparing the microemulsion, a large amount of surfactant is required to be added to obtain the stable microemulsion, but the microemulsion prepared by the method has great irritation and limits the application of the microemulsion. Some manufacturers also use special equipment to prepare the microemulsion, but the high cost of the process also limits its application.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve the problem that a large amount of surfactant is required to be added or special equipment is required to be adopted in the preparation of the existing microemulsion, the invention aims to provide the microemulsion, the dosage of the surfactant in the microemulsion is small, the irritation is small, the stability is good, and components with various effects can be added to obtain different purposes, so that the application range is enlarged; for this reason, the invention also provides a preparation method of the microemulsion.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect of the present invention, a microemulsion is provided, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 35-77 parts of water, 2-4 parts of emulsifier, 15-50 parts of organic solvent and 0.5-1 part of arbutin.

Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided for illustrative purposes, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the present disclosure.

A microemulsion comprises the following components in parts by weight: 35-77 parts of water, 2-4 parts of emulsifier, 15-50 parts of organic solvent and 0.5-1 part of arbutin.

In the field of daily chemicals, water, an emulsifier and an organic solvent are mixed, and based on the hydrophilic and oleophilic properties of the emulsifier, the three can form a stable emulsion system after being stirred at a high speed, and are dispersed relatively uniformly but not transparent; in order to obtain a clear microemulsion system, the amount of emulsifier needs to be increased. However, the use amount of the emulsifier is increased, so that the irritation is increased, and the use range is limited.

The emulsifier is an anionic emulsifier or a nonionic emulsifier, and when one or more of hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-20 glucose half stearate, Tween-60 and Tween-80 are selected and mixed in the system, the emulsifying effect is better, and the stability of the obtained microemulsion is more durable.

Wherein, the organic solvent is selected from one or more of ethanol, propylene glycol and butanediol.

When the micro-emulsion is used in the field of daily chemicals and the moistening performance and the efficacy need to be improved, a moistening agent and various plant additives can be added into the micro-emulsion, wherein the commonly used moistening agent is one or a mixture of more of caprylic/capric triglyceride, jojoba oil, isooctyl palmitate, mineral oil, sweet almond oil, meadowfoam oil and grape seed oil. The plant additive can be one or more of flos Tagetis Erectae extract, Lavender extract, herba Thymi extract, violet extract, and Ginseng radix extract.

The microemulsion can also be added with a preservative and a thickening agent, wherein the preservative is methyl ester, propyl ester or ethyl ester, and the thickening agent is one or a mixture of xanthan gum, cellulose and carbomer.
