How to Use Solid Perfume Beads: Addressing Low Absorption Rate with 5% Perfume Oil
คำถาม
I purchased Solid Perfume beads/aroma diffuser beads (Product ID 6243) to create scented beads (Objective: ทำเม็ดหอม). I mixed them with an oil-based perfume (Base/solvent: น้ำหอม) at a concentration of approximately 5% of the bead weight.
However, the beads are not absorbing the perfume directly, and the liquid remains unabsorbed. Is there an alternative method, or do I need to mix the perfume with another solvent before adding it to the beads?
คำตอบ
The "Perfume beads, aroma diffuser beads, Solid Perfume" (Product ID 6243) are designed to absorb oil-based fragrances directly. The issue you are experiencing is likely due to two factors: the concentration of the perfume and the required absorption time.
1. Increase Perfume Concentration
The recommended mixing ratio for these beads is 20-30% of the bead weight, with some fragrances allowing for absorption up to 50% or more. Your current 5% concentration is too low for the beads to fully absorb and hold the scent effectively.
Recommendation:
- Start by mixing the beads with 20-30% perfume (e.g., 20-30 grams of perfume per 100 grams of beads).
- If the beads absorb all the liquid after 24 hours, you can try increasing the concentration further, up to 50%, depending on the specific fragrance oil.
2. Allow Sufficient Absorption Time
The absorption process is not immediate. You must allow the mixture to sit for at least 1 day (24 hours) for the beads to fully soak up the fragrance.
Method:
- Place the beads and the desired amount of perfume oil (20-30%) in a sealed container.
- Shake or stir the mixture to ensure the perfume coats all the beads.
- Let the mixture sit for 24 hours. The beads should become dry to the touch once the fragrance is fully absorbed.
You do not need to mix the perfume with any other solvent before adding it to the beads, as they are designed for direct absorption of oil-based fragrances.
