JPH0786732B2 - Artificial clay - Google Patents

Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an artificial clay used for molding.

Conventional technology and problems Various types of clay such as naturally occurring clay and artificial clay are known, and are used as teaching materials by children such as infants and children.

These clays have excellent advantages in terms of formability and shape retention, but the former does not contribute to resource saving, and the latter poses challenges in terms of raw material procurement and manufacturing technology. However, they have problems that they cannot be easily manufactured.

The present invention has such problems and abundant production of starch,
It was made in view of the fact that it is available at a low price,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a man-made clay that can be easily manufactured using food materials, cosmetics, bonding materials, etc. used in daily life.

Means for Solving Problems The means for achieving the above-mentioned object is that starch is the main component, to which a binder, cleansing cream, and edible vegetable oil are added.

Effect The present invention uses starch, binder, cleansing cream, edible vegetable oil, and other familiar foodstuffs, cosmetics, bonding materials, etc. as described above, so that it can be easily produced and the main starch By adding a binder to the product, there is no difference from the known clay in terms of shapeability and shape retention, and the addition of cleansing cream makes the product smooth, and the addition of edible vegetable oil adds the addition of cleansing cream. It is not necessary to use a large amount, so that the odor emitted by the large amount of cleansing cream can be weakened and the smoothing function of the cleansing cream can be complemented.

EXAMPLES Materials to be used and manufacturing methods will be described in this order.

Materials used and blending amount Starch approx. 800 g Binder (commercially available synthetic resin-based white wood bonding material) approx. 1,
000g Cleansing cream (commercially available white cleansing cream) Approximately 60g Edible vegetable oil (commercially available edible vegetable oil) Small amount Production method 1st step Binder is heated at low temperature for about 45 minutes, and the amount is heated to about 900g.

Second step Add starch to the heated binder and mix with stirring.

Step 3 Add cleansing cream and edible vegetable oil and stir and mix thoroughly.

Fourth step: Allow to cool at room temperature to obtain a white product.

Experimental example Commercially available synthetic resin-based white bonding material for woodworking (trade name /
(Bond) in a frying pan, pan, etc., and heat on low heat for about 45 minutes until the weight is reduced to about 900 g,
While the binder is hot, starch is added and mixed with stirring, and then cleansing cream and edible vegetable oil are added and mixed thoroughly with stirring. It is preferable to add a large amount of cleansing cream for the purpose of imparting smoothness to the product and for preserving, but if a large amount is added, the odor peculiar to the cream becomes strong, so that the odor is hardly felt. For the purpose of weakening and complementing the function of the cleansing cream (giving smoothness), the amount of cleansing cream used is reduced, and commercially available edible vegetable oils (for example,
When a small amount of salad oil) was added, the odor peculiar to cleansing cream was not felt, and smoothness and antiseptic properties were exhibited.

At the beginning of the experiment, when various commercially available adhesives or synthetic resins (such as vinyl acetate resin) were added to the starch, there were problems with strong odor, brittleness, moldability, shape retention, etc. I tried to mix edible powders (eg, fresh powder), but it was too fragile and I couldn't get out of the prototype area.

Therefore, when we replaced the adhesive with a commercially available synthetic resin adhesive, we found that an adhesive with a too strong odor was unsuitable, so a commercially available synthetic resin bonding material for woodwork (product name / It was found that the use of (bond) did not provide a good feel, although problems such as brittleness, shape retention, and moldability were solved. In order to solve this problem, various cream cosmetics were added, and it was found that the cleansing cream had excellent feel and exhibited antiseptic properties. However, since cleansing cream has an inherent odor, adding a large amount causes the odor to become too strong, reducing the amount added and prototyping by adding various edible oils as substitute materials, there is no odor. It was found that when edible vegetable oil (commercial salad oil) was added, almost no odor of cleansing cream was felt, and the feel was improved and the cream became smooth. According to experiments, it has been found that a small amount of edible vegetable oil may be added.

The product thus obtained exhibits almost pure white, has sufficient strength and smoothness in a dried state after modeling, and can be colored with an oil paint.

[Claims] 1. An artificial clay characterized in that the same amount of binder is added to starch as a main component, and cleansing cream and edible vegetable oil are added little by little.
