The invention relates generally to compositions that can change color from colored to colorless, one color to another color, or colorless to colored under appropriate conditions, and combinations thereof, and methods to prepare the compositions, such as bubbles, paints, cosmetics, markers and use of these compositions. Particularly, the present invention relates to compositions for general paint applications or, for finger paint applications, blowing bubbles, cosmetics and/or markers, which can be particularly useful for children. The compositions are non-toxic and, if necessary, are washable.
Paints are generally of two types. The first type is solvent borne (or oil based) paints in which a polymeric binder is dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent. The second type is water borne paints in which a polymeric binder is a dispersion of insoluble polymer in water. Water borne paints are often referred as ‘emulsion paints’ and these represent the most common type of wall and ceiling paints.
Paint formulations generally comprise a film forming polymer, one or more type of non-film forming solids, such as titanium dioxide and the like, extenders, thickeners, and other additives such as leveling agents etc. The dispersed insoluble film forming polymers are usually vinyl, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, polyester, alkyds, glycidyl esters, glycidyl ethers etc.
The non-film forming solids are generally colorants and/or titanium dioxide. The most commonly used colorants are pigments which can be either inorganic or organic pigments. Commercially available pigments are available the aggregates and agglomerates forms. Use of pigments in the paint composition often requires pigment dispersion mills for grinding the pigments. Pigments are generally ground to their primary particle size for uniformity before using them in the paints. The ground pigment formulations may flocculate back into agglomerates form which lowers the shelf life of the paints. Thus, the overall process increases the time/cost, and reduces the quality.
Dyes are also used as colorants for paint formulations. Commonly used dyes are basic dyes and food dyes. The paint compositions based on either basic dyes or food dyes are not easily washable, especially, from porous and hard surfaces.
Extenders are particulate non-film forming solids which are often added to paints to lower cost, to modify the rheology, or to improve pigment utilization by inhibiting pigment particle agglomeration. They differ from true pigments in having little or no effect on opacity.
Thickeners are generally polymeric materials that, as name suggests, increase the viscosity of the paint. Thickeners vary widely in their chemical form, but can generally be described as water soluble or water swell-able polymers having hydrophilic groups.
Color change has been a fascination of individuals for a long time. Traditionally, compounds that have exhibited the ability to change from colored to colorless have been leuco dyes.
Leuco dyes are of limited use to produce materials that begin as colored and end as colorless since three components are generally required to effect the transition. Generally, a color former (the leuco dye), a developer (such as a phenolic compound) and a reversible matrix, such as a long chain alcohol, are combined. An often noted drawback with leuco dye systems is their water insolubility.
Traditional painting materials, provide specific color to the substrate. A drawback with traditional painting materials is that they do not change color when required, tend to be messy and leave unwanted marks. Thus parents often limit the use of painting materials, especially finger painting materials because of the possibility of household objects, such as carpet, furniture, skin and clothing, being stained by the finger painting materials. The unwanted marks are usually extremely difficult or impossible to remove.
Accordingly, many manufactures and inventors have spent great time and resources trying to create products and methods to reduce or eliminate staining. They have also spent a great deal of effort to produce products that simulate marking. However, such products have not offered the creative freedom and flexibility of traditional finger painting materials. Most of the commercial finger painting materials labeled “washable” have been found to be difficult or impossible, for example, to remove from fingers, hands or cloths. The traditional paints or finger paints generally do not change color, nor are they completely washable, often leaving residue or stain.
Bubbles have long fascinated children, adults, and scientists alike. The formation of bubbles for recreation and entertainment is a well-recognized and widely practiced past-time. In its simplest form, bubble blowing involves dipping a shaped article having an opening into a liquid soap solution followed by blowing into the opening to form one or more bubbles. A bubble is generally defined as a small volume of gas contained within a thin liquid spherical envelop. A wand, for example, is generally immersed into a bubble solution and air is blown through spherical opening to generate bubbles. Surface tension causes the bubble solution to for a film across the opening. Upon application of a sufficient force or pressure upon one side of the film, a bubble is formed and expelled from the opening.
A variety of bubble solutions have been marketed over the years, many of them claiming to have special features like longer lasting bubbles, solutions that produce greater numbers of bubbles, or solution that provide bubbles having a colorful in appearance. Some manufacturers adorn their bubble packaging with illustrations of colored bubbles, or add colorants to tint their bubble solution, in an effort to provoke the illusion of a colored bubble. Some manufactures have added modifying agents like glycerin to produce a transparent bubble with a transparent iridescent rainbow effect. One manufacturer added color directly to the bubble and/or the bubble solution in an effort to create designs on a piece of paper with what they labeled a colored bubble. This composition of liquid solution does not produce a visually colored bubble, but rather a bubble that is used as a vehicle to transport the color to the marking surface. The bubble wall is transparent and does not produce a uniformly colored bubble. Rather the color runs to the bottom of the bubble wall. Others manufacturers claim to produce bubble that is illuminated when viewed in the dark with infrared radiation or black light, but transparent in regular light.
Additionally, the aqueous solutions that are currently provided by manufacturers afford bubbles that do not withstand environmental stresses, such as wind, airborne particulate, or contact with a surface, among many other physically detrimental impediments. Contact with a surface generally causes the bubble to burst, decreasing the enjoyment one obtains from experiencing the bubble.
Traditional marking materials, such as paints, markers, pens, spray-paint, chalk, lipstick, and doll cosmetics, are given to children for drawing, painting, decorating, styling and coloring purposes. A drawback with traditional marking materials is that they tend to be messy and leave unwanted marks. Thus parents often limit the use of marking materials because of the possibility of household objects, such as carpet, furniture, skin and clothing, being stained by the marking materials. The unwanted marks are usually extremely difficult or impossible to remove. Accordingly, many manufactures and inventors have spent great time and money trying to create products and methods to reduce or eliminate staining. They have also spent an equal amount of effort to produce products that simulate marking but do not offer the creative freedom and flexibility of traditional marking materials. Most of the commercial marking materials labeled “washable” have been found to be difficult or impossible, for example, to remove from simple cotton t-shirts.
Cosmetics are generally applied to an area to affect a change in color, tone, appearance, suppleness, or other visible attributes. Generally, the application lasts for many hours, a day, or in the case of hair color, weeks or months. For children, it would be fun to have cosmetics that provide the desired change but do not last for a lengthy period of time.
Therefore, a need exists for new compositions that can provide one or more of: a change in color (or to colorless), water washable, do not leave a stain or residue, provide a wide range of color across the color spectrum, are water solubile, can be easily prepared in high yields with a simple procedure, and are non-toxic.
The present invention provides unique phthalein acid-base compositions as detailed throughout the specification that are useful in paints, bubbles, markers and cosmetics. These phthalein acid-base compositions are previously unknown and can be used in any of the above-identified applications (and those listed throughout the specification). The phthalein compositions provide novel colors, previously not achievable by known synthetic procedures. Additionally, the colored phthalein compositions of the invention can be made to change to colorless, a first color to a second color, or colorless to a color under appropriate conditions.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides an aqueous composition that includes a surfactant and an acid-base indicator. The compositions provide a composition, such as a bubble, that is a uniformly colored composition. Alternatively, the uniformly colored composition can change to colorless under appropriate conditions. The compositions are non-toxic and/or washable.
Prior to the present invention, it was generally considered extremely difficult if not impossible to make a broad spectrum of colored phthalein compositions which provide the entire spectrum of colors from yellow, orange, red, pink, magenta, purple, violet, blue, green and black. Additionally, preparation of phthaleins, up until the present invention did not generally provide high yield, high purity phthaleins by a simple process.
Up until the present invention, there also existed a need to develop color changing systems which were non-toxic and washable. Food dyes are non-toxic but do not change color and leave stains and are thus not washable. Most known dyes/pigments generate stains and leave residue or spots on the substrates. Therefore, the present invention provides phthaleins and compositions thereof that develop a color and which can be easily washable from skin, fabric, leather, hard/porous surfaces such as stones, brick, concrete, and wood (finished/unfinished).
The present invention overcomes some of the disadvantages of known dyes and pigments by providing color compositions which can change color and can provide the spectrum of colors from yellow, orange, red, pink, magenta, purple, violet, blue, green and black.
The present invention therefore provides paint systems, compositions, and methods to use the compositions for the permanent or temporary painting (color change) of intended surfaces with the ability to remove color from unintended surfaces, which can be particularly useful for children.
The present invention provides paint systems which include acid-base indicator dyes compositions that can change color from colored to colorless, one color to another color, or colorless to a colored under appropriate conditions, and can further include a substrate which includes a treated surface. For example, application of paint to a treated surface produces color that will not fade with exposure to air. Conversely, application of the composition to non-treated substrates produce a painted mark whose color will fade with pressure, water, or extended exposure to air. Little or no colored paint composition will remain after pressure, water, or extended exposure to air on untreated substrates such as skin, clothing, carpeting, walls, finished or unfinished wood, stones, bricks or other household surfaces.
Paint systems of the present inventions can be applied with the use of various devices known in the art such as, brushes, felt-type writing instruments, wick-type writing instruments, by means of spatulas, and also with the fingers (finger paints). Paint compositions of the present invention are usually present either in a low viscosity state, a high viscosity state or in a pasty state.
In particular, the present invention provides a painting system for general paint application and finger paint application.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a painting system that can be easily washable and is also non-toxic.
One or more additives, such as, for example, surface-active agents, antioxidants, buffers, basics, or glycerin, humectants, rheology-controlling agents, defoaming agents, ultraviolet absorbers, photostabilizers, curing agents, preservatives can be included in the paint systems.
In one aspect of the invention, a treated surface of a substrate useful with the acid-base dye composition in the paint has a coating which has a material that is alkaline. The alkalinity of the treated surface interacts with the acid-base indicator dye(s) deposited by the paint to retain visible color on the treated surface. The composition can also include a binder for retaining the alkaline components on the substrate. For example, as a child or other user applies the painting composition to the treated surface, the color will remain on the surface and will not easily fade with exposure to air, pressure or water. In addition to retaining its color, the color is not easily transferred from the substrate. The present invention inhibits the permanent development of color marks on non-treated surfaces like skin, clothing, or other unintended surfaces, since most surfaces are not alkaline. If, however, undesired stains are developed on household surfaces or other unintended surfaces, such stains can be readily removed via washing. The acid-base indicators are freely soluble in water, thus can be easily removed via washing.
Typically the treated surface of a suitable substrate is coated with a chemical that imparts a desired pH to the surface or throughout the substrate. In one example, the substrate includes paper. In one embodiment, the pH of the treated surface, i.e., paper, can be acidic (a pH between 0 and about 7). In another embodiment, the pH of the paper is above 7, and in particular about 8.8.
In one aspect, the bases useful with the paint systems of the invention are water soluble, non-toxic, and non-flammable. Many materials are weak bases due to the presence of an amino group (—NH2) attached to an organic compound. Ammonia (water), dimethylamine, diethylamine, ethylamine, glycine and hydrazine, methylamine, trimethylamine, alanine, triethanolamine are examples of weak bases. Other examples of bases include alkali and alkaline hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, rubidium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, and barium hydroxide. The base can be impregnated throughout the substrate/surface or simply on the surface.
The present invention surprisingly provides color changing, color disappearing bubble compositions, that have a uniform coloration about the bubble. Additionally, the present invention provides compositions that have film forming capabilities such that the resultant bubble can withstand physical contact with a surface. The film formed bubble can be colored, have a color changing composition, or can be without color.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides an aqueous composition that includes a surfactant and a colorant. The compositions provide a bubble that begins as a uniformly colored bubble, but then changes coloration or the coloration disappears within a few seconds to within a few minutes. Suitable colorants include acid-base indicators, leuco dyes and/or metal salts. When a leuco dye is included in the composition, an electron accepting compound or oxidizing agent is generally included. The compositions are non-toxic and/or washable, if necessary.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides compositions that provide film forming bubbles. The film forming compositions include a film forming resin and, optionally, a colorant as described herein. Generally the film forming resin is a polymeric material that can form a film about the surface of the bubble, such that the resultant bubble can withstand contact with a surface. The film forming compositions can be adapted to provide substantially colorless bubbles, uniformly colored, or color changing bubbles. The compositions are non-toxic and/or washable, if necessary.
In still another embodiment, the present invention provides methods to prepare compositions that provide the various bubble producing solutions used throughout the present specification.
In still yet another embodiment, the present invention provides kits that include the compositions of the invention and instructions how to prepare bubbles from the compositions.
The present invention provides marking systems, compositions, a methods to use the compsitions that allow for the permanent marking of intended surfaces and the removal of color from unintended surfaces, which can be particularly useful for children.
The present invention provides marking systems which includes acid-base indicator dyes compositions that can change color from a first color to colorless, a first color to a second color, or colorless to a color under appropriate conditions, and may or may not include a substrate which includes a treated surface. Writing with the marking instrument on the treated surface of the treated substrate produces color that will not fade with exposure to air. Application of the compositions to non-treated substrates produce a mark that's color will fade with pressure, water, or extended exposure to air. Little or no color mark will remain after pressure, water, or extended exposure to air on untreated substrates such as skin, clothing, carpeting, walls or other household surfaces.
The marking instrument can be in any of a number of different forms, including a marker, pencil, crayon, spray-paint, chalk, nail polish, make-up compact, squirt gun, hair dye, lipstick, finger paint, splatter art, spray chalk, glue, cosmetics, paint, doll cosmetics, drawing, painting, decorating, styling and coloring purposes or the like. One or more additives, such as, for example, surfactants, antioxidants, buffers, basics, or glycerin, humectants, preservatives can be included in the marking composition.
The treated surface of the substrate useful with the acid-base dye composition in the marker has a coating which has a material that is alkaline. The alkalinity operates chemically with the acid-base indicator dyes deposited by the marker to hold visible color on the surface of the treated surface. The coating can also include a binder for retaining the alkaline components on the substrate. As a child or other user applies the marking composition to the treated substrate surface, the color will remain on the surface and not easily fade with exposure to air, pressure or water. In addition to retaining its color, the color is not easily transferred from the substrate. The present invention inhibits the permanent development of color marks on non-treated surfaces like skin, clothing, or other unintended surfaces, since most surfaces are not alkaline. If, however, undesired stains are developed on household surfaces or other unintended surfaces, such stains can be readily removed via washing.
Typically the substrate coating comprises a chemical that can effect the pH of the paper. In one instance, the pH of the paper could be acidic (a pH between 0 and about 7). Ideally, the pH of the paper is above 7, and in particular about 8.8.
In one aspect, the bases are water soluble, non-toxic, and non-flammable. Many materials are weak bases due to the presence of an amino group (—NH2) attached to an organic compound. Alanine, ammonia (water), dimethylamine, ethylamine, glycine and hydrazine, methylamine, trimethylamine, alanine are examples of weak bases. Other examples of bases include alkali and alkaline hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, rubidium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, and barium hydroxide. The base can be impregnated throughout the paper or on the surface of the paper.
The present invention also relates to cosmetic temporary coloring compositions which contain, as an active ingredient, at least one colorant, such as an acid-base indicator as described vide infra. The cosmetics include traditional facial cosmetics as well as hair care products.
The present invention also relates to colored fog, colored squirt gun ammo, disappearing inks, disappearing messages, fake blood, secret messages that appear and disappear, splat ball ammo, hairspray highlights arts/crafts (bath tub foam, bath tub paint, bath tub tints, body/face paints, dry erase markers, finger paints, glue sticks, lawn paints, liquid glue, no-mess markers, pencils, sidewalk paint, sidewalk spray chalk, sidewalk stick chalk, splatter art, spray mount, stamp pads, temporary marker for sewing, temporary tattoos, water color paint) or entertainment (temporary field/golf course marking) colored compositions which contain, as an active ingredient, at least one colorant, such as an acid-base indicator as described vide infra.
While multiple embodiments are disclosed, still other embodiments of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description. As will be apparent, the invention is capable of modifications in various obvious aspects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the detailed descriptions are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.
Paint Applications
Prior to the present invention, it was generally considered extremely difficult if not impossible to make color changing paint compositions. The present invention overcomes the drawbacks associated with paints and finger paints, especially for color change, washability and toxicity.
Traditionally, paint compositions comprise a film forming polymer (a binder) which can be either an alkyd, vinyl, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, polyester, glycidyl esters, glycidyl ethers, one or more types of a non-film forming solid which can be inorganic/organic pigments such as titanium oxide (dioxide), basic/food dyes, extenders, thickeners, and additives etc. These traditional paint compositions provide a specific color to the substrate and are not easily removed once dried, and thus leave residue/marks/stains on the painted surface.
Children enjoy various finger painting colors, but most of the commercially available finger painting systems are not completely washable (removable), even though some are claimed as “washable”. The finger painting systems in the market thus leave stains/marks/residue on fingers, skin and cloths.
Prior to the present invention, it has proven extremely difficult, if not impossible, to develop color changing paint compositions. The present invention surprisingly provides color changing paint compositions and methods to make and use the compositions. The present invention also provides color changing paint compositions that can be used for any type of paint applications and finger paints applications.
The present invention, therefore, provides paint systems that advantageously minimize or eliminate messiness, i.e., inadvertent or stray marks, during use. The painting systems of the present invention comprise a composition composed of (A) an aqueous solution, that can include one or more organic solvent(s); (B) a coloring agent which is an acid-base indicator(s) as described herein, that changes color from colored to colorless, one color to another color, or colorless to colored under appropriate conditions; (C) a film forming agent/thickener, also known as a “binder”; optionally (D) one or more surface active agents (E); and/or, optionally, additives such as a preservative and/or a pigment, clay, etc. such as titanium dioxide.
In certain embodiments, the paint composition includes a pigment, such as titanium dioxide, a clay, talc, calcium carbonate, mica and those known in the art. Pigments generally act as fillers and provide “hiding” capabilities for the underlying color of the substrate. Pigments can also provide one or more of the following: UV protection, corrosion resistance, mildew resistance, stain resistance, weather resistance, prevents moisture permeability, helps promote adhesion and/or strength.
Pigments can be inorganic or organic and can provide coloring to a paint. Suitable inorganic pigments can be white (e.g., titanium dioxide, Pigment White 6), colored or black. Titanium dioxide is generally available as rutile or anatase.
Rutile titanium dioxide is used decorative paints, maintenance and industrial gloss finishes; decorative semi-gloss, eggshell and matt finishes; marine paints; undercoats; and emulsion paints for interior and exterior use. Anatase titanium dioxide used in industrial finishes where good whiteness is important but where weather resistance is not required, e.g., domestic and hospital equipment. Commercial products include Bayertitan (Bayer), Finntitan (Kemira), Tipure (DuPont), Tronox (Kerr McGee).
Additional white inorganic pigments include Pigment White 1 (white lead), Pigment White 2 (basic lead sulfate), Pigment White 4 (zinc oxide), Pigment White 6, Pigment White 11 (antimony oxide), Pigment White 32 (zinc phosphate), barium compounds (barytes and blanc fixe or barium sulfate), calcium compounds (calcium carbonate, gypsum, calcium silicate), aluminum compounds (china clay, mica, bentonite), magnesium compounds (magnesium carbonate, asbestine, talc), silica (natural silica such as quartz, flint, kieselguhr, celite, diatomite and synthetic silica).
Colored inorganic pigments include, for example, Pigment Yellow 31 (barium chromate), Pigment Yellow 32 (strontium chromate), Pigment Yellow 34/Pigment Red 104 (lead chromes), Pigment Yellow 36/36.1 (zinc chromes), Pigment Yellow 37/Pigment Red 108 (cadmium sulfide), Pigment Yellow 42, Pigment Red 101, Pigment Red 105 (red lead), Pigment Blue 23 (utramarine blue), Pigment Blue 27 (prussian blue), Pigment Blue 29, Pigment Green 15 (chrome green), Pigment Green 17 (chromium oxide) and Pigment Green 18 (guignet's green).
Luminous/Fluorescent inorganic pigments include, for example, zinc sulfide, cadmium sulfide, calcium sulfide, strontium sulfide and barium sulfide.
Black pigments include, for example, Pigment Black 7 (carbon black), lamp (vegetable) black, drop (bone) black, graphite, iron oxide black, cobalt oxide black, nickel oxide black and mixed metal oxide black etc.
Colored organic pigments include, for example, Pigment Yellow 1, Pigment Yellow 3, Pigment Yellow 5, Pigment Yellow 12, Pigment Yellow 13, Pigment Yellow 14, Pigment Yellow 16, Pigment Yellow 17, Pigment Yellow 34, 42, Pigment Yellow 74, Pigment Yellow 83, Pigment Yellow 106, Pigment Yellow 108, Pigment Yellow 113, Pigment Yellow 117, Pigment Yellow 126, Pigment Yellow 129, Pigment Yellow 185, Pigment Orange 5, Pigment Orange 13, Pigment Orange 16, Pigment Orange 34, Pigment Orange 36, Pigment Orange 43, Pigment Orange 67, Pigment Red 1, Pigment Red 3, Pigment Red 7, Pigment Red 9, Pigment Red 12, Pigment Red 48, Pigment Red 48.1, Pigment Red 48.4, Pigment Red 49, Pigment Red 49.1, Pigment Red 52.1, Pigment Red 53.1, Pigment Red 57, Pigment Red 83, Pigment Red 88, Pigment Red 104, 112, Pigment Red 122, Pigment Red 123, Pigment Red 146, Pigment Red 169, Pigment Red 170, Pigment Violet 19, Pigment Violet 23, Pigment Violet 27, Pigment Blue 1, Pigment Blue 15, Pigment Blue 15.1, Pigment Blue 15.3, Pigment Blue 15.6, Pigment Blue 16, Pigment Blue 61, Pigment Blue 62, Pigment Green 7, Pigment Green 8, Pigment Green 10, and Pigment Green 36.
In one embodiment, a substrate can be provided with a suitable coating or impregnated with at least one color-maintaining material, e.g., an acid or a base. Upon application of the acid-base indicator dye to the treated surface or substrate, the dye pH level is maintained and thus the color is maintained. If, however, the colored paint is contacted with an unintended surface, the stain can be readily removed with the application of pressure, water, or extended exposure to air.
In certain instances, the present invention provides the ability to have a temporary color that is easily removable from the surface/substrate is desired. For example, when one is testing color samples on a wall. Typically, the wall coating is not alkaline. Treatment with a paint of the invention that is basic will not maintain color indefinitely. Advantageously, after the observer has viewed how the color looks on the wall, the paint composition can be easily removed with water or water with a detergent.
Typically, the paint compositions of the invention can be applied by known methods and suitable instruments. The paint instruments include, but are not limited to, brushes, rollers, sprayers, writing instruments, e.g., felt-type writing instruments, wick-type writing instruments, spatulas, fingers and the like.
Paint Compositions of the Invention
The compositions of the present invention generally contain between about 5 and about 70 parts water, in particular between about 10 and about 60, and more particularly between about 20 and about 50 percent based on a total weight percentage of the final composition. In one aspect, the water utilized can be ordinary tap water or spring water. In another aspect the water can be deionized water or water purified by reverse osmosis. Optionally, an organic solvent (alcohols, polyethers, glycol ethers, etc.) can also be used, alone or in combination with water.
In one aspect the compositions of the invention include acid-base indicators that are generally colored under basic condition and change color or fade to clear in non-basic condition. Acid-base indicators which are colored on alkaline pH side (pH >7) and turn clear on acidic pH (pH <7) are most useful. Typically, the acid-base indicators are colored at pH between about 9 and about 10, and turn clear at pH between about 6 and about 8.
Representative examples of acid-base indicators useful in the compositions of the present invention include, but are not limited to, picric acid, matius yellow, 2,6-dinitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, phenacetolin, 2,5-dinitrophenol, isopicramic acid, o-nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol, p-nitrophenol, 6,8-dinitro-2,4-(1H,3H)quinazolinedione, nitroamine, ethyl bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)acetate, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-tribromobenzoic acid, 2-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)azopyridine, metanil yellow, p-methyl red, 4-phenylazodiphenylamine, benzopurpurin 4B, tropaeolin OO, fast garnet GBC base, alizarin yellow R, benzyl orange, m-methyl red, 4-(m-tolyl)-azo-N,N-dimethyl-aniline, oil yellow II, methyl orange, ethyl orange, hessian purple N, congo red, N-pnehyl-1-naphthyl-aminoazobenzene-p-sulfonic acid, 4-(4′-dimethylamino-1′-naphthyl)-azo-3-methoxy-benzenesulfonic acid, p-ethoxychrysoidine, α-naphthyl red, chrysoidine, 1-naphthylaminoazobenzene-p-sulfonic acid, methyl red, 2-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-azopyridine, ethyl red, propyl red, N-phenyl-1-naphthyl-aminoazo-o-carboxybenzene, nitrazol yellow, brilliant yellow, brilliant yellow S, orange II, propyl-o-naphthyl orange, orange I, orange IV, hessian, Bordeaux, diazo violet, α-naphthol violet, alizarin yellow GG, chrome orange GR, sulfone acid blue R, lanacyl violet BF, tropaeolin O, orange G, crystal violet, methyl violet B, malachite green, brilliant green, ethyl violet, methyl violet 6B, ethyl/methyl green, basic fuchsine, acid, fuchsine, patent blue V, alkali blue, aniline blue, o-naphthol benzein, pentamethoxy red, hexamethoxy red, tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester K salt, tetraiodophenolsulfophthlein, bromochlorophenol blue, bromocresol green, chlorocresol green, chlorophenol red, bromocresol purple, sulfonaphthyl red, bromophenol red, dibromophenol-tetrabromophenol-sulfophthlein, bromothymol blue, aurin, phenol red, o-cresol benzein, o-cresol red, α-naphtholphthlein, m-cresol purple, p-xylenol blue, thymol blue, phenoltetrachlorophthlein, o-cresolphthalein, α-naphtholbenzein, phenoltetraiodophthlein, phenolphthalein, thymolphthlein, eosin Y, erythrosine B, erythrosine, galleon, brilliant cresyl blue, resazurin, lacmoid, litmus, azolitmus, azolitmin, neutral red, nile blue 2B, nile blue A, hematoxylin, quinaldine red, pinachrome, indo-oxine, quinoline blue, bis-5-bromovanillidenecyclohexanone, bis-(2′-hydroxystyryl)ketone, curcumin, bis-(4-hydroxy-3-ethoxy-benzylidene)cyclohexanone, thiazole yellow G, alizarin blue B, alizarin red S, carminic acid, alizarin orange, alizarin, rufianic acid, rufianic blue, alizarin blue SWR, and indigocarmine.
With the suitable selection of acid-base indicators, it is possible to produce any color. The acid-base indicators are preferably in an acidic form, such that when a paint is utilized with a base treated surface, for example, the treated area will change color. Additionally, combinations of two or more indicators may be used.
Acid-base indicators are usually effective when present in small amounts in the compositions of the invention but generally are present in amounts from about 0.01% up to about 15% by weight, from about 0.05% to about 10% by weight and from about 0.1% to about 8% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
It should be understood that the term “comprising” (or comprises) includes the more restrictive terms consisting of and consisting essentially of.

Methods of Synthesis
The particular phthaleins described above can be obtained via synthetic methods illustrated below. It should be understood that in R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10, are as previously defined for structural formula (I).
Starting materials useful for preparing compounds of the invention and intermediates thereof are commercially available or can be prepared by well-known synthetic methods (see, e.g., Harrison et al., “Compendium of Synthetic Organic Methods”, Vols. 1-8 (John Wiley and Sons, 1971-1996); “Beilstein Handbook of Organic Chemistry,” Beilstein Institute of Organic Chemistry, Frankfurt, Germany; Feiser et al., “Reagents for Organic Synthesis,” Volumes 1-21, Wiley Interscience; Trost et al., “Comprehensive Organic Synthesis,” Pergamon Press, 1991; “Theilheimer's Synthetic Methods of Organic Chemistry,” Volumes 1-45, Karger, 1991; March, “Advanced Organic Chemistry,” Wiley Interscience, 1991; Larock “Comprehensive Organic Transformations,” VCH Publishers, 1989; Paquette, “Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis,” 3d Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1995). Other methods for synthesis of the compounds described herein and/or starting materials are either described in the art or will be readily apparent to the skilled artisan.
A typical synthesis is depicted in Scheme 1, wherein 2 equivalents of a phenol or phenol equivalent are condensed with 1 equivalent of a phthalic anhydride or equivalent under essentially acid anhydrous conditions.
Generally, the phenol and anhydride are condensed in the presence of an acid under anhydrous conditions. For example, polyphosphoric acid and zinc chloride can be utilized. The carbon atom at 4-position-position with respect to the aromatic hydroxyl group must not be substituted as it is necessary for reaction. Polyphosphoric acid acts as a condensing agent as well as reaction medium. The reaction with only polyphosphoric acid afforded tarry products but when very small amount of zinc chloride was added to polyphosphoric acid, clean product was isolated. Very small amount of zinc chloride was found to increase yield and purity of the product. Polyphosphoric acid can be replaced with orthophosphoric acid, chlorosulfonic acid, methane sulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid or other acids under anhydrous conditions. Suitable solvents include non-protic solvents known in the art such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, methylene chloride, ether, etc.
The reaction proceeds with the formation of an isobenzofuranone (Ia), which is then treated with a base under aqueous conditions. The salt can be isolated or the solution can be acidified to produce the protonated phenol/carboxylic acid. For example, one molar equivalent of Ia was condensed with either two molar equivalent of sodium hydroxide in 85% ethanol or two molar equivalent of sodium ethoxide in ethanol. The products are generally solids and can be easily purified via filtration, crystallization, and other methods known in the art.

Where the painting composition is intended to be “colored”, selection of an appropriate basic material is important for color change of acidic dye indicators in the colored compositions of the present invention. Desirable basic reagents, which should readily volatilize at ambient temperatures for use in the present compositions, include, but are not limited to, aminoalcohols, such as alkylamines, such as methylamine, dimethylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethyleneamine, diethyleneamine, morpholine, ammonia, triethanolamine.
The selection of the kind and the amount of basic reagent used enables control of fading time of the color. Suitable basic reagents which readily volatilize at ambient temperatures, typically have a vapor pressure higher than about 10 mm Hg at 20° C. The selection of the base also depends on solubility in water, toxicity and odor. Therefore, aminoalcohols useful in the compositions of the present invention include, but are not limited to triethanolamine (TEA) and/or diethylamine. TEA, for example, is clear, non-toxic and does not emit a noxious odor. Some of the surface active agents, e.g., Colonial SLS, are alkaline nature and can serve as the basic reagent.
In painting compositions where color is not desired (clear to color), a base is not included in the composition, but is provided, for example) by the surface of the substrate written upon.
Alternatively, the painting composition can be basic and highly colored by use of a fugative base or a base that is not fugitive in nature, such as a metal hydroxide. The pH of the substrate will then determine whether the color of the painting composition is unchanged upon application, disappears or changes color. Therefore, by choice of dye and pH of the painting composition and pH of the surface of the substrate, painting compositions are provided that can be colored and remain so, can change from color to clear, or color to color, or uncolored to a color. It is the combination of the acid-base dye and the reactive substrate surface that determines how the color change, or maintenance, is effected.

The painting compositions of the invention often include surface active agent(s) (surfactants). Suitable surface-active agents include anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic compounds and combinations thereof. The surface-active agent can be either polymeric or non-polymeric.
The term “surface active agent” is recognized in the relevant art to include those compounds which modify the nature of surfaces, e.g. reducing the surface tension of water. Surface active agents are generally classified into four types: cationic (e.g. modified onium salts, where part of the molecule is hydrophilic and the other consists of straight or branches long hydrocarbon chains such as hexadecyltrimethyl bromide), anionic, also known as amphiphatic agents (e.g., alkyl or aryl or alkylarylsulfonates, carboxylates, phosphates), nonionic (e.g., polyethylene oxides, alcohols) and ampholytic or amphoteric (e.g. dodecyl-beta-alanine, such that the surface-active agent contains a zwitterionic group). One or more surface-active agents can be used in the present invention.
Cationic surface-active agents useful as surface tension reducing agents in the present invention include long chain hydrocarbons which contain quaternarized heteroatoms, such as nitrogen. Suitable cationic surface-active agents include quaternary ammonium compounds in which typically one of the groups linked to the nitrogen atom is a C12-C18 alkyl group and the other three groups are short chained alkyl groups.
Anionic surface-active agents (amphiphatic agents) are characterized by a single lipophilic chain and a polar head group which can include sulfate, sulfonate, phosphate, phosphonate and carboxylate. Exemplary compounds include linear sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS), linear alkyl sulfates and phosphates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and linear alkyl ethoxy sulfates. Additional examples of anionic surface-active agents include substituted ammonium (e.g., mono-, di-, and tri-ethanolammonium), alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of C6-C20 fatty acids and rosin acids, linear and branched alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkane sulfonates, olefin sulfonates, hydroxyalkane sulfonates, fatty acid monoglyceride sulfates, alkyl glyceryl ether sulfates, acyl sarcosinates, acyl N-methyltaurides, and alkylaryl sulfonated surface-active agents, such as alkylbenezene sulfonates.

Additionally, suitable nonionic surface-active agents include polyoxyethylene carboxylic acid esters, fatty acid glycerol esters, fatty acid and ethoxylated fatty acid alkanolamides. Block copolymers of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, and block polymers of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide with propoxylated ethylene diamine are also included as acceptable nonionic surface-active agents. Semi-polar nonionic surface-active agents like amine oxides, phosphine oxides, sulfoxides, and their ethoxylated derivatives are included within the scope of the invention.

Surface-active agents do not act as film forming agents.
In another aspect, alkanolamide or a mixture with other surface-active agents can be used in the compositions of the invention. Alkanolamides are commercially available and are the reaction products of one or more fatty acids having 12 or more carbon atoms and a lower alkanolamime. Typical alkanolamides are formed by reaction between stearic, mystiric, lauric acid or mixtures thereof with mono-, di-, and/or iso-propanolamine.

Bubbles
Prior to the present invention, it was generally considered extremely difficult if not impossible to make a colored bubble with uniform color intensity throughout the bubble: A bubbles wall is only a few millionths of an inch thick and up until the present invention was considered that the bubble wall was incapable of being colored. Generally, a bubble's rainbow color is the result of reflects color from its surroundings.
Traditionally, when a light wave hits the surface of a bubble, part of the light is reflected back to a viewer's eye from the outer surface and part of the light is reflected from the inner surface which is a few millionths of an inch further. As the two waves of light travel back, they interfere with one another causing what we visualize as color. When the waves reinforce each other, the color is more intense. When the waves get close to canceling each other out, there is almost no color. As a bubble wall gets thinner, either from a weakened solution or because gravity has pulled the additives to the bottom of the bubble, the distance between the inner surface and the outer surface of the bubble becomes less and less until the two reflected waves of light start to coincide and cancel each other out. The result is that the bubble loses its color and can become nearly invisible.
Prior to the present invention, it has proven extremely difficult, if not impossible, to develop a colored bubble composition with uniform color intensity throughout the bubble. When the dyes are added to the soap/bubble solution, they form colored solution but when the bubbles are blown, the resulting bubbles are colorless.
The present invention surprisingly provides coloration changing, color disappearing bubble compositions, that have substantially uniform coloration about the bubble. Additionally, the present invention provides compositions that have film forming capabilities such that the resultant bubble can withstand physical contact with a surface. The film formed bubble can be colored, have a color changing composition, have a color disappearing composition, or can be without color. The bubbles can have a wide range of opacity, colors and scents. The compositions and resultant bubbles are non-toxic and/or washable.
The present invention further provides compositions and methods for producing bubbles, as described herein, having a wide range of opacities, ranging from essentially translucent to semi-transparent to opaque. The bubbles can be intrinsically colored; the composition from which the bubbles are formed itself is colored.
In some embodiments, the bubbles have substantially uniform color intensity. In other embodiments, the bubbles can have non-uniform color intensity and/or dispersion.
The phrases “substantially uniform” or “substantially uniformly” are intended to refer to coloration about the bubble such that the coloration intensity is approximately equal from the top of the bubble to the bottom of the bubble. In such an embodiment, the coloration in the bubble is dispersed evenly throughout the bubble and coloration streaking or having an increased concentration of color at the bottom of the bubble is substantially avoided.
The phrases “non-uniform” or “non-uniformly” are intended to refer to coloration about the bubble such that the coloration intensity is concentrated, for example, more at the top and bottom of the bubble. Such fanciful bubbles can be very interesting to children.
The phrase “colored bubble” is intended to refer to a bubble that can be uniformly or non-uniformly colored, as described herein, but does not have a change in coloration over a given period of time and does not have the coloration disappear from the bubble. Colored bubbles retain their coloration throughout the period of time the bubble exists, generally from about a few seconds to about a few minutes. The colored bubbles related to the present invention are formed with film forming technology described herein.
In one aspect, the colored bubbles and compositions of the invention are excluded from those described in U.S. Provisional Application 60/581,294, filed on Jun. 17, 2004, by Tim Kehoe, entitled “Composition and Method for Producing Colored Bubbles”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Color Changing or Color Disappearing Compositions and Bubbles
In one embodiment, the present invention pertains to an aqueous composition that includes a surfactant, an acid-base indicator and a base, such as a volatile base, such as an amine. The composition can be used to prepare bubbles that have color disappearing characteristics and/or color changing characteristics.
The phrase “color changing” refers to the ability of the dye or pigment to change coloration due to a change in physical propert(ies) of the dye or pigment. The change in color can be a result of oxidation, change in pH, or some other physical attribute of the dye or pigment that is altered upon, for example, the evaporation of water, solvent or some other component from the bubble surface. Alternatively, the change can occur when the concentration of an ingredient increases within the bubble surface due to loss of another component, for example, due to evaporation. Generally the color change occurs over a period between about 1 second and about 10 minutes, more particularly between about 2 seconds to about 5 minutes and more particularly between about 5 seconds and about 1 minute.
The phrase “color disappearing” refers to the ability of the dye or pigment to lose or have a diminishment in coloration due to a change in physical propert(ies). The disappearance of color can be a result of oxidation, change in pH, or some other physical attribute of the dye or pigment that is altered upon, for example, upon the evaporation of water, solvent or other component from the bubble surface. Alternatively, the coloration loss or diminishment can occur when the concentration of an ingredient increases within the bubble surface due to loss of another component, for example, due to evaporation. Generally the coloration loss or diminishment occurs over a period between about 1 second and about 10 minutes, more particularly between about 2 seconds to about 5 minutes and more particularly between about 5 seconds and about 1 minute.
The aqueous solutions of the present invention generally contain between about 1 and about 90 parts water, in particular between about 10 and about 80, and more particularly between about 20 and about 70 percent based on a total weight percentage of the final composition. In one aspect, the water utilized can be ordinary tap water or spring water. In another aspect the water can be deionized water or water purified by reverse osmosis.
The compositions of the invention include a surfactant. Suitable surfactants include anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic compounds and combinations thereof described throughout the specification. The surfactant can be either polymeric or non-polymeric.
In one particular embodiment, the surfactant utilized to form the bubble is Colonial SLS.
Typical concentration ranges of surfactant that are useful in the preparation of bubble composition are from about 0.01 parts by weight to about 90 parts by weight, from about 0.5 part by weight to about 50 parts by weight, and from about 1 parts by weight to about 20 parts by weight.
In one aspect, surfactants useful in the bubble compositions of the invention include, but are not limited to, cellulose ethers or mixtures with other surfactants, which are water soluble. Cellulose ether surfactants have unique foaming and film forming properties which make them ideal of colored bubble applications. Cellulose ethers used in the present invention include methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, propyl cellulose, butyl cellulose, higher alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl celluloses, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxybutyl cellulose or mixtures thereof.
Cellulose ether surfactants are generally present in bubble composition in amounts from about 1% up to about 40% by weight in the compositions of the invention. Suitable concentrations of cellulose ether surfactants are in the range of about 2% to about 30% by weight and from about 3% to about 8% by weight. A particularly useful cellulosic ether surfactant in the compositions is Methocel A4M.
Alkanolamides can be present in the bubble compositions of the invention in the ranges generally described throughout the application but generally are present in amounts from about 0% up to about 10% by weight. Suitable ranges include from about 1% to about 6% by weight and in particular from about 1.5% to about 4% by weight.
Suitable optional additives to the compositions of the invention include, humectants, preservatives, fragrance, dye blockers, cleaners, etc.
The term “humectant” is known and helps to retard the evaporation of water from the composition of the invention, thus avoiding premature drying during the application. Not to be limited by theory, it is believed that the presence of a humectant helps to strengthen the bubble formation, enhances even distribution of the dye throughout the bubble and increases life of bubble in the air.
Representative examples of humectants include, but are not limited to, glycerin, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, hydroxylated starches and mixtures of these materials. Any effective amount of humectant may be used although a generally useful concentration range for these humectants is from about 5% to about 35% by weight of the total composition. Particular ranges of the humectant include a range of from about 8% to about 30% by weight of the composition and from about 10% to about 25% by weight of the composition. In one particular aspect, the humectant is glycerin.
Preservatives, when present in the bubble compositions of the invention, are generally present in amounts from about 0.01% to about 6% by weight, in particular from about 0.05% to about 5% by weight, and particularly from about 0.1% to about 2.5% by weight. In one aspect, the preservative is one of Liquid Germall Plus, Tryosan 395 or Nuosept 95.
Representative fragrances include those pleasing to children such as flowers, candy, popcorn, fruit, bubble gum and the like. A fragrance, when present in the bubble compositions of the invention, is generally present in amounts from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
Dye blockers or cleaners can be optionally added in the compositions of the invention, including bubbles, to remove dye from hard/porous surfaces such as wood, stone, brick, leather, cloth, concrete, skin, fabric, etc. Up until the present invention, contact with a solution having a dye could stain a surface.
Suitable dye blockers include, but are not limited to, Bio-Terge PAS-8S, sodium octane sulfonate, Stepanate SXS, sodium xylenesulfonate, Steposol DG, fatty alcohol ethoxylate, manufactured by Stepan Co., Northfield, Ill., Dowfax 8390, disodium hexadecyldiphenyloxide disulfonate, Dowfax 2AI, benzene-1,1-oxybis-tetrapropylene sulfonated sodium, Dowfax 3B2, decyl-sulfophenoxy-benzenesulfonic acid-disodium, Dowfax C10L, decyl-sulfophenoxybenzenesulfonicacid disodium, Triton X-15, octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, manufactured by Dow Chemical Co., Mildland, Mich., Tamol SN, sodium salt of naphthalene-formaldehyde condensate, Tamol 731, sodium salt of carboxylated polyelectrolyte, manufactured by Rohm & Haas Co., Philadelphia, Pa., Darvan 2, sodium lignin sulfonate, manufactured by R. T. Vanderbilt & Co., Norwalk, Conn., Aqua-Cleen GP, polyethoxylated tert-dodecyl sulfur compound, TZ-Paint Prep, phosphorous/sulfur containing builders, and TAZ-B300, sulfur/oxygen/nitrogen containing surface active agents, manufactured by Chemical Products Industries, Oklahoma City, Okla.
Dye blockers or cleaners are usually effective in the compositions of the invention when present in any amount but generally are present in ranges from about 5% up to about 50% by weight, from 10% to about 40% by weight or from about 12% to about 25% by weight.
In one aspect the bubble compositions of the invention include acid-base indicators as described throughout the application. These acid-base indicators used in the present invention are generally colored under basic condition and change color or fade to clear in non-basic condition. Acid-base indicators which are colored on alkaline pH side (pH >7) and turn clear on acidic pH (pH <7) are most useful. Typically, the acid-base indicators are colored at pH between about 9 and 10, and turn clear at pH between about 6 and 8.

In particular, with reference for Formulae (I) and (Ia), R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl; R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen phenyl, isopropyl, methyl ethyl and methoxy; R5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, bromo, methoxy, isopropyl and methyl; and R6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl.
In certain bubble embodiments, R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, nitro, amino and alkyl; R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, alkyl, nitro, acetamido and alkoxy; R5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halo, and alkyl; and R6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl.

In other bubble embodiments, R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is hydrogen, R3 is Me, and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is Me, R3 is a hydrogen atom, R5 is an iso-propyl group and R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 is Me, R5 is Br and and R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; and R2 is Me, R3 is Br, R5 is an isopropyl and R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms. In certain embodiments, one or more of these compounds may be excluded from certain aspects of the invention.
In still other bubble embodiments, R2 is H, R3 is phenyl and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 and R5 are isopropyl and R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 is methyl, R5 is H, R6 is methyl, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 and R5 are methoxy and R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 and R5 are methyl and R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 is ethyl and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 is isopropyl and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; R2 is H, R3 is methoxide and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms; and R2, R3 and R5 are all methyl and R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are all hydrogen atoms, or R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10 are all hydrogen atoms and R3 is sec-butyl, or R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10 are all hydrogen atoms and R3 is nitro.
In particular, at least one of M1 or M2 is a metal or an ammonium ion.
Additionally, the phenols and hydrazines described throughout are useful in the bubble compositions as well. Additional colorants useful in the various compositions of the application (e.g., paints, bubbles, markers and cosmetics) include those listed throughout the application, including those which follow.
With the suitable selection of acid-base indicators, it is possible to produce any color. The acid-base indicators are preferably in the form of a salt, such as a sodium salt generated by reacting the indicator, such as a phthalein, with sodium hydroxide, so as to permit its solubilization into the present composition. Generally, 2 equivalents of base are added per mole of phthalein, however, less tha 2 equivalents will produce a color, and it is possible that 1 equivalent will impart color to the phthalein salt. Additionally, combinations of two or more indicators may be used.
Acid-base indicators are usually effective when present in small amounts in the bubble compositions of the invention but generally are present in amounts from about 0.1% up to about 20% by weight, from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight and from about 0.8% to about 8% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
Selection of an appropriate basic material is important for color change of acidic dye indicators in the colored compositions of the present invention. Desirable basic reagents, which should readily volatilize at ambient temperatures for use in the present compositions, include, but are not limited to, aminoalcohols, such as alkylamines, such as methylamine, dimethylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethyleneamine, diethyleneamine, morpholine, ammonia, triethanolamine.
The selection of the kind and the amount of basic reagent used enables control of fading time of the color after a colored bubble is blown. Suitable basic reagents which readily volatilize at ambient temperatures, typically have a vapor pressure higher than about 10 mm Hg at 20° C. The selection of the base also depends on solubility in water, toxicity and odor. Therefore, aminoalcohols useful in the compositions of the present invention include, but are not limited to triethanolamine (TEA) and/or diethylamine. TEA, for example, is clear, non-toxic and does not emit a noxious odor.
The basic reagent(s) is generally present in the bubble composition of the invention in an amount from about 0.1% up to about 20% by weight, from about 0.2% to about 10% by weight and from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight.

In still another embodiment, the present invention pertains to an aqueous composition that includes a surfactant and a metal salt. The composition can be used to prepare bubbles that have color disappearing characteristics and/or color changing characteristics. Optionally, one or more of the above-identified solvents, humectants, preservatives, fragrances, etc. as described throughout the application can be included in the composition.
The compositions can include one or more of the surfactant(s) described throughout the present application in combination with at least one water soluble metal salt.
Typically the metallic salt is selected from transition metals. Transition elements, undergo a color change with the loss of a water of hydration or when complexes are formed with organic materials. Salts of transition metals include those salts formed from Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Th, Pd, Ag, Cd, La, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Ac, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Th and Pa.

Representative examples of suitable transition metal salts include, but are not limited to, cobalt (II) chloride, cobalt (III) chloride, cobalt (II) bromide, cobalt (III) bromide, cobalt (II) nitrate, cobalt (III) nitrate, nickel (II) chloride, nickel (III) chloride, nickel (II) bromide, nickel (III) bromide, nickel (II) nitrate, nickel (III) nitrate, nickel (II) sulfate, nickel (II) sulfamate, nickel (II) oxalate, nickel (II) phthalocyanine, iron (II) chloride, iron (III) chloride, iron (II) bromide, iron (III) bromide, iron (II) nitrate, iron (III) nitrate, aluminium potassium sulfate.
Inorganic salts such as cobalt (II) chloride in combination with certain long chain alcohol produce the unusual effect of coloration due to the complex formation on heating and fade color on cooling. Specific examples of long chain alcohols that can interact with the transition metal to form a colored complex include, but are not limited to, 1-dodecanol, 1-tetradecanol, 1-hexadecanol, 1-docosanol, 1-decanol, 1-octadecanol, (2)-9-octadecen-1-ol, 1-nonanol, 3-pentadecylcatechol. Generally, suitable alcohols are those which have a carbon atom chain length from about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms or have molecular weight greater than 100. The reaction medium or solvent can also include polyvinyl alcohol which can be partially hydrolyzed (86-89%), fully hydrolyzed (98-99%) or super hydrolyzed (99.3+%). The molecular weight range of polyvinyl alcohol is from 50,000 to >186,000.
For example, when metal salts are heated with a long chain aliphatic alcohol or a polyvinyl alcohol, colored complexes are formed, and hence generate color. The color fades away when they are cooled. The color either disappears (color to colorless) or changes color (one color to another color).

Since then the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been responsible for regulating all color additives used in food, drugs and cosmetics. Each batch to be sold in the United States has to be certified by the FDA. To avoid confusing color additives used in food with those manufactured for other uses, 3 categories of certifiable color additives were created: 1) FD&C (Food, Drug & Cosmetics) color additives with applications in food, drug & cosmetics; 2) D&C (Drug & Cosmetics) color additives with applications in drug & cosmetics; 3) External D&C (External Drug & Cosmetics) color additives with applications in externally applied drugs & in externally applied cosmetics. The use of all food colors approved for use in the United States are listed in 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulation), parts 70 through 82 dealing with color additives.

In particular embodiments, the compositions that do not contain a film forming resin, resultant bubbles maintain integrity and/or lifespan for 1 second to about 30 minutes, more particularly from about 2 seconds to about 20 minutes and most particularly from about 5 seconds to about 5 minutes. In particular embodiments, where the compositions include a film forming resin, resultant bubbles maintain integrity and/or lifespan for 1 second to about 30 days, more particularly from about 2 seconds to about 25 days and most particularly from about 5 seconds to about 20 days.
The compositions of the present invention can be prepared by the following general method. Either 1%, 3% or 5% indicator, 2 equivalent of sodium hydroxide, 16 g Colonial SLS (30%) solution with the reaminder being remaining DI water to make total 100 g. When polyvinyl alcohol was added, heating was required but otherwise reaction was stirred at room temperature. Additional additives such as deionized water, surfactant, preservatives, amine, dye blockers and polyvinyl alcohol solution (in case of film forming bubbles) are added and the reaction mixture further stirred for 2 hours at room temperature.
In certain experiments were polyvinyl alcohol in prepared in situ, the following procedure can be used. Polyvinyl alcohol is added with stirring to deionized water at room temperature. After the addition is complete, the mixture is heated at 90° C. for 30 min, cooled to room temperature followed by addition of dye, humectant (glycerin or triethanolamine), surfactant, base, dye blockers and/or preservatives.
After cooling, the compositions may be bottled. Alternately, the solution may be bottled without cooling.

Typically, the solution is spread onto a surface to form a film or a suitable object is dipped into the solution and subjected to air flow to form a bubble or bubbles.
Markers
The present invention also provides compositions that are useful in no mess markers as described herein. The compositions include the various colorants (phthaleins, hydrazines, phenols, leuco dyes, etc.) described throughout the application, including in particular, the acid-base indicators described herein.
The present invention, therefore, provides marking systems that advantageously minimize or eliminate messiness, i.e., inadvertent or stray marks, during use. The marking system comprises a marking composition composed of an acid-base indicator(s) as described herein, that change color from a first color to colorless, a first color to a second color, or colorless to a color under appropriate conditions.
The marking instrument can be utilized to store the marking composition and/or apply the marking composition to a desired substrate. The substrate can be provided with a coating or impregnated with at least one color-maintaining material, e.g., an acid or a base. Upon application of the acid-base indicator dye to the substrate, the dye pH level is maintained and thus the color is maintained. If, however, color is marked on an intended or unintended surface, thereby resulting in undesired color or the desire for temporary color, the stain can be readily removed with the application of pressure, water, or extended exposure to air.
The marking instruments include, but are not limited to, markers, pencils, crayons, stamps, stamp pads, pens, spray bottles, brushes, pads, sponges, squirt guns and the like.

The cosmetic compositions according to the invention may be in many forms, for example in the form of a gel, cream, foaming liquid or milky liquid, and can be packaged in, for example, bottles, tubes or aerosols.
If cosmetic compositions according to the invention are treatment and/or make-up products for the skin surface, the acid-base indicator derivatives have the function of coloring the composition itself or the skin surface, and they can simultaneously confer on the latter the treatment effect and protection effect due to the presence of the protein chains.
The cosmetic compositions according to the invention intended for application to the skin preferably contain the acid-base indicator(s) in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
The cosmetic make-up compositions according to the invention may, for example, take the form of sticks, pastes, emulsions, suspensions, dispersions, powders or solutions, and may form lipsticks, mascaras, lip glosses, blushers, eye shadows, make-up foundations, eyeliners or powders.
The colorant, such as an acid-base indicator, can be associated with inorganic or organic pigments, and especially with lacquers such as those commonly used.
The inorganic pigments are, in general, iron oxides (red, brown, black and yellow), chromium oxides, the ultramarines (aminosilicate polysulphides), titanium dioxide, manganese pyrophosphate and Prussian Blue (ferric ferrocyanide). These various compounds alone or mixed together are generally employed at concentrations of from 0.1 to 40% by weight with respect to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

The fatty substance may also consist of a mixture of at least one wax and at least one oil, for example: paraffin oil, purcellin oil, perhydrosqualene, sweet-almond oil, avocado oil, oil of calophyllum, castor oil, sesame oil, jojoba oil, mineral oils having a boiling point between 310 and 410° C., silicone oils such as dimethylpolysiloxanes, linoleyl alcohol, linolenyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, the oil of cereal seeds such as wheatgerm oil, isopropyl lanolate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate, butyl myristate, cetyl myristate, hexadecyl stearate, butyl stearate, decyl oleate, acetylglycerides, octanoates and decanoates of such alcohols and polyalcohols as glycol and glycerol, the ricinoleates of alcohols and polyalcohols such as cetyl ricinoleate, isostearyl alcohol, isocetyl lanolate, isopropyl adipate, hexyl laurate or octyldodecanol.
In general, the fatty substance in these compositions in stick form may represent up to 99.9% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
The cosmetic compositions may also contain other ingredients such as glycols, polyethylene glycols, polypropylene glycols, monoalkanolamides, uncolored polymers, inorganic or organic fillers, preservatives, UV filters or other additives common in cosmetics.
The cosmetic compositions in stick form may contain a quantity of water, generally not exceeding 40% relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
When the cosmetic compositions according to the invention are semi-solid in form, that is, in the form of pastes or creams, they may be used as a mascara, an eyeliner, a make-up foundation, a blusher, an eye shadow, a lipstick, or a concealer.
These pastes or creams may be emulsions of the water-in-oil or oil-in-water type, in which the fatty phase preferably represents from 1 to 98.8% by weight and the water phase preferably represents from 1 to 98.8% by weight and the emulsifier preferably represents from 0.1 to 30% by weight.
The cosmetic compositions can also contain other conventional ingredients such as perfumes, antioxidants, preservatives, gelling agents, UV filters, colorings, pigments, agents imparting pearlescence, uncolored polymers and inorganic or organic fillers.
When the cosmetic compositions take the form of a powder, they may consist essentially of an inorganic or organic filler such as talc, kaolin, starches, polyethylene powders or polyamide powders, as well as additives such as binders, colorings and the like.
Such cosmetic compositions can also contain various additives commonly used in cosmetics such as perfumes, antioxidants and preservatives as described throughout the application.
