Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning agent, and more particularly to a cleaning agent having a high detergency against dirt attached to a wooden material.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various cleaning agents (cleaners) for cleaning dirty wooden walls (including plywood), floors, wooden furniture and metal fittings such as handles in houses and the like are commercially available. These commercially available cleaning agents are classified into an aqueous type and an oil type.

[0003] Among the above-mentioned commercially available detergents, aqueous ones are also in the form of emulsions.
Generally, it is alkaline, and it is necessary to use synthetic resin gloves for work.However, in general households, many people feel uncomfortable wearing cleaning gloves. It is cumbersome and can result in rough hands. On the other hand, in the case of the oil-based type, since oil remains on the surface to be treated after cleaning, it is necessary to wipe off the floor, especially the floor.

[0004] The above-mentioned various commercially available cleaning agents cannot be sufficiently removed, for example, when wiping oily dirt such as crayon adhered to a solid or surface-treated wood wall or floor. It is.

[0005]

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a crayon which consists only of plant components and does not exhibit alkalinity, is gentle on the hands, and adheres to the surface to be treated of solid or surface-treated wood. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning agent that can effectively wipe off and remove stains such as those unlike conventional cleaning agents.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the object, the present applicant has invented linseed oil which is a natural vegetable drying oil, wood wax which is a natural vegetable wax, and at least one of carnauba wax and candelilla wax. It does not contain any organic solvent, so it does not harm the health of coating workers and is coated and then dried, it has a stain-resistant, water-resistant, alkali-resistant and volatile oil-resistant solid Except for the case where the wax component is wood wax and candelilla wax, the surface of the solid coating is dried with a cloth or the like after drying the applied treating agent to give an elegant luster. It is almost odorless, the odor of wood wax, carnauba wax and candelilla wax is weak, and the content of these wax components in the treating agent is set relatively low. In odor processing agent itself is about faint odor, therefore developed a wood material surface treatment agent which does not give an unpleasant feeling to the coating process worker, was filed a patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 200
0-332775).

During the development of the invention according to the above-mentioned patent application, the stain resistance of the coating film was examined. When the coating film was contaminated with crayons and wiped with the above-mentioned oily surface treating agent for woody materials. It has been found that the crayon contaminants can be wiped off relatively easily, that is, the surface treating agent also has a cleaning effect, and thus the present invention was started.

[0008] Thereafter, further investigations revealed that the drying oil was merely a base material and that vegetable drying oil other than linseed oil could be used, and that the development of detergency was due to the presence of candelilla wax. Has been found, and thus the present invention has been basically completed. The candelilla wax may be a normal candelilla wax containing a resin component, a resin-free candelilla wax, or a resin recovered by a resin removal treatment. It turned out that there was not.

Accordingly, the cleaning agent according to the present invention comprises a drying oil,
It is characterized by containing wood wax, candelilla wax, de-resin candelilla wax or candelilla wax resin, and carnauba wax.

In the cleaning agent according to the present invention, as the drying oil, of course, a plant-derived oil is preferable, and for example, linseed oil, tung oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, hemp oil, or EB oil can be used. Among these vegetable drying oils, linseed oil shows permeability when the object to be coated is wood in the process of solidifying as a coating film, and dries in a relatively short time after coating to have toughness. It becomes a film.

In the components of the cleaning agent according to the present invention, wood wax includes white wax, raw wax and refined wood wax products.

[0012] In the cleaning agent according to the present invention, 75% of the drying oil is used.
-90% by weight, wood wax 10-15% by weight, candelilla wax or candelilla wax resin 1-5% by weight
And carnauba wax accounts for 1-5% by weight. Since wood wax is a relatively soft wax, it helps finish the detergent into a paste that is easy to handle at room temperature. The mixing ratio of candelilla wax is 1
If the amount is less than 5% by weight, the detergency decreases, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, the detergent itself becomes hard and the spreadability decreases. If the compounding ratio of carnauba wax is 1% by weight or less, the gloss of the coating film becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds 5% by weight,
As in the case of candelilla wax, the detergent itself is hardened, and thus its spreadability is reduced.

[0013]

EXAMPLES The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to Production Examples, Reference Production Examples and Test Examples. The wood wax used in the production examples is not a highly purified product but an intermediate product, and both candelilla wax (containing a resin component) and carnauba wax are purified products.

Production Example 1 80% by weight of linseed oil, 10% by weight of wood wax, 5% by weight of candelilla wax and 5% by weight of carnauba wax were put into a beaker, and the wax component was dissolved by boiling in water with stirring. (When the product temperature reaches about 90 ° C., the wax component is completely dissolved.) Then, the mixture is allowed to cool to obtain a desired paste-like detergent.

Reference Production Example 1 85% by weight of linseed oil, 10% by weight of wood wax, 2.5% by weight of candelilla wax and 2.5% by weight of carnauba wax were put into a beaker, and the wax component was dissolved by stirring in hot water with stirring. And then allowed to cool to obtain a paste-like surface treatment agent for woody materials (Japanese Patent Application No. 2000
-332775 Preparation Example 8).

Preparation Examples 2 and 3 Same as Preparation Example 1 except that 84 or 81% by weight of linseed oil, 10% by weight of wood wax, 1 or 4% by weight of candelilla wax and 5% by weight of carnauba wax were used. Thus, a desired paste-like cleaning agent was obtained.

Reference Production Example 2 85% by weight of linseed oil, 10% by weight of wood wax, and 5% by weight of carnauba wax were collected, placed in a beaker, and dissolved in wax by stirring with hot water, and then allowed to cool. As a result, a paste-like surface treatment agent for wood was obtained.

Reference Production Examples 3 and 4 Same as Production Example 1 except that linseed oil was used at 79 and 75% by weight, wood wax at 10% by weight, candelilla wax at 6 or 10% by weight and carnauba wax at 5% by weight. Thus, a paste-like surface treatment agent for wood was obtained.

Test Example 1 Detergency tests of the treating agent obtained in the above Production Example 1 and various commercially available detergents were conducted in the following manner. (I) Cleaning agent to be tested (A) Cleaning agent according to Production Example 1 (oil type) (B) Commercial cleaning agent below (a) Floor cleaner [aqueous type (alkaline)], (b)
Floor wax [aqueous emulsion type (alkali)], (c) Furniture cleaner, protective agent [aqueous type (alkali)], (d) Oil removal [aqueous emulsion type]
(Alkali)] and (e) Protective agent for metals, dirt remover (oil type)

(II) Wood material to be tested (a) Color board (colored plate used for color box, etc.) (b) Varnish coated plate for table, etc. (c) Cypress whose surface has been smoothed with a plane Hiba) Plate material (no treatment) (d) Cypress plate material similar to the above (however, surface treated with the treatment agent obtained from the reference production example)

(III) Test Method A red crayon is set up vertically, and is moved horizontally on the surface of each test piece of wood at a constant pressure level to form a contaminated portion of a predetermined area and is left for a while. Attach the cleaning agent to the towel and wipe it with JIS K 5961 (domestic indoor wood floor paint, 4.
15 "Stain resistance") is evaluated by referring to the test method for assessing contamination by the degree of stains to dirt specified in "Stain resistance". The evaluation criteria are as follows. 5 points: Completely or almost completely falling 4: Slightly falling, but slightly contaminated 3: Slightly falling, but contaminated parts also noticeable 2: Slightly falling 1: Slightly falling

(IV) Test Results In the test conducted 40 times, the average scores regarding the cleaning power of each test detergent were as shown in Table 1 below. As is evident from this table, the cleaning agents according to the invention are excellent in the detergency of dirt adhering to wooden boards or boards, and are commercially available, especially for contaminants adhering to solid or surface-treated boards. It was found to exhibit significantly higher detergency.

[0023]

[Table 1]

Test Example 2 An acrylic resin plate, a stainless steel plate and a vinyl chloride resin tile were used in place of the wood-based test material in Test Example 1, and the same test as in Test Example 1 was performed. Since the cleaning power of the cleaning agent according to the present invention and each of the commercially available cleaning agents were practically equivalent, the number of tests was limited to four. The average detergency score for each detergent was as shown in Table 2 below.

[0025]

[Table 2]

In Table 2, the products of the present invention and commercial products
The average score for vinyl chloride tiles in (e) is underlined, taking into account workability in that both products are oily and therefore require an empty wipe after wiping the dirt. It is rated 4.5 when placed in a cleanser, and has a 5.0 rating of detergency, which is the ability to completely remove dirt.

Test Example Solid cypress slabs whose surfaces were smoothed by three planes were used as test wood materials, and were prepared in Production Examples 1, 2 and 3, and Reference Production Examples 2, 3 and 4.
A crayon stain wiping test was carried out using the detergent according to the above as a test detergent. However, in this test, 20 volunteers were given 6 sheets of the test plate which had been stained with crayons, and interviews were conducted after the test.

As a result, 16 to 20 persons answered that the cleaning agent of Production Examples 1 to 3 was "stained", and 5 to 15 persons of the cleaning agents of Reference Production Examples 2 and 3. Of respondents answered that "dirt does not come off much, or it did, but marks remain." Also, about 1 to 4 cleaning agents in Reference Production Example 4 answered that "dirt did not come off."

[0029]

The cleaning agents according to the invention show a higher detergency with respect to soiling on wood materials than commercial cleaning agents, in particular on soiling on solid or surface-treated wood, for example crayon soiling. Although it is impossible to completely remove it with a commercially available cleaning agent, it shows high cleaning power even for such stains. Since this cleaning agent is composed of natural vegetable drying oil and natural vegetable wax and has a slight odor, it does not cause any harm to the worker's health and does not cause discomfort during the cleaning operation. .
