Abstract

Provided is an aerosol product which has a simple configuration and enables spraying in the form of a mist at the time of use even when a stock liquid is stored in a high-viscosity state in an aerosol container. An aerosol product ( 100 ) has a plurality of partitioned housing spaces and a valve unit ( 120 ) provided with an inflow port ( 122 ) corresponding to the housing space, wherein at least one among the plurality of housing spaces is a main stock liquid housing section ( 142 ) that houses a main stock liquid (M), at least one other of the plurality of housing spaces is a viscosity lowering agent housing section ( 143 ) that houses a viscosity lowering agent (S), and the main stock liquid (M) discharged from the inflow port ( 122 ) and the viscosity lowering agent (S) discharged from the inflow port ( 122 A) are mixed in an actuator ( 130 ).

Claims (14)

1. An aerosol product having a valve unit having a stem protruding from an aerosol container, and an actuator fitted to the stem, wherein

the aerosol container includes a plurality of partitioned housing spaces, an inflow port corresponding to the housing space, and one or more valve units in which a sealing member opening and closing the inflow port is provided for each inflow port;

at least one among the plurality of housing spaces is a main stock liquid housing section that houses a main stock liquid;

at least one other of the plurality of housing spaces is a viscosity lowering agent housing section that houses a viscosity lowering agent for lowering a viscosity of the main stock liquid;

the actuator has a fitting portion fitted to the stem, and a mixing unit where materials discharged from the inflow port are mixed;

the main stock liquid discharged from the inflow port corresponding to the main stock liquid housing section and the viscosity lowering agent discharged from the inflow port corresponding to the viscosity lowering agent housing section are mixed in the mixing unit and a viscosity of the main stock liquid is lowered in the actuator;

the actuator has a mist-spraying mechanism unit that sprays the mixed discharged materials into an entraining space in the form of a mist through a nozzle tip having the mist-spraying mechanism unit, and air outside the actuator flows into the entraining space for reducing a pressure inside the entraining space;

the actuator further includes a foam forming section that foams, while entraining air, the discharged materials sprayed from the mist-spraying mechanism unit;

a discharge flow path provided in a main body portion of the actuator communicates with the stem;

the main stock liquid and the viscosity lower agent pass through the discharge flow path of the main body portion, merge in the mixing unit, and proceed to the nozzle tip; and

the main body portion of the actuator is connected to and received within the fitting portion.

2. The aerosol product according to claim 1 , wherein

the aerosol container has one can-shaped container and one or more deformable contents housing sections housed in the can-shaped container; and

a propellant is housed in a space outside the contents housing section.
