Description

  The present invention relates to an adhesive used to protect a material by adhering to the surface of the material in dry cleaning and the like, and a dry cleaning technique using the same.

  Generally, in dry cleaning, volatile organic solvents such as petroleum solvents (hydrocarbon compounds), chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents (perchloroethylene, trichloroethane, etc.), fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds (chlorofluorocarbon 113, etc.) are used. The oily dirt attached to the clothes is dissolved and separated from the fibers, and the clothes are washed by floating the dirt in a solvent (see, for example, [Prior Art] in Patent Document 1). Such dry cleaning with an organic solvent has characteristics such as less shrinkage, shape loss, discoloration, and change in texture as compared with washing with water.

  However, depending on the material of the laundry, it may be affected by a specific organic solvent, and it may be necessary to use a different organic solvent in dry cleaning, or dry cleaning may not be suitable. Further, in dry cleaning, since the laundry is stirred by the washing machine, the buttons are broken, the chuck is damaged, and the texture and the color are slightly lowered.

  Accordingly, various dry cleaning aids have been devised for the purpose of suppressing damage to the laundry.

  For example, Non-Patent Document 2 includes 100 parts of oleic acid, 40-80 parts of xylene, 20-70 parts of surfactant, 20-70 parts of methanol, 15-29 parts of antibacterial agent, and 5-15 of ammonia. , A lanolin 3 to 10 parts and a squalane 1 to 5 parts are described. This auxiliary agent mainly contains various high-quality fat components, and these fat components create a thin oil film on the surface of animal fibers to increase the gloss, gloss and give a slimy feeling. In addition, this oil film prevents the surface of accessories such as buttons, sequins, and accessories from being altered by the solvent, and contributes to increasing the brightness. In addition, the surfactant contributes to softening the laundry fabric and preventing static electricity.

On the other hand, in recent years, EM bacteria-containing soap has been developed as a technique for improving the detergency in dry cleaning using various enzymes produced by microorganisms (see Non-Patent Document 1). The EM bacteria-containing soap is a combination of petroleum dry soap with EM bacteria and antioxidant negative ion water. Here, “EM” is an abbreviation for “Effective Micro-organisms”, and microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, actinomycetes, photosynthetic bacteria, gonorrhea, and filamentous fungi that are effective in agricultural production that exist in nature and their microorganisms. This refers to a group of microorganisms composed of enzymes, etc., which are metabolites, and include microorganisms of 80 species of 10 genera (see Patent Document 3). In this way, when EM bacteria are mixed with petroleum-based dry soap, the effects of various enzymes produced by EM bacteria will improve the cleaning power for clothes, improve the feel by reducing the back-contamination rate, and improve the texture. Non-Patent Document 1 describes that there are obtained effects such as non-bromide (sol odor), the odor of clothing disappears, the reduction of worm-feeding, the reduction of yellowing, and the like.
JP-A-6-327888 JP-A-6-306398 Patent No. 2911076 JP 2003-147393 A 2M Kasei Co., Ltd., “EM Bacteria Soap”, [online], 2M Kasei Co., Ltd. [Search January 6, 2005], Internet <http://www.aa.alpha-net.ne.jp/mminfo /syoukai/dry/em-soap/EM-SOAP.pdf>

  The EM bacteria-containing soap improves the cleaning power and improves the finish such as the texture of the laundry. Therefore, the soap is very excellent as a cleaning agent in dry cleaning. However, for example, when a leather product such as synthetic leather, leather, or leather is washed, the oil is removed and becomes crumbly when washed several times, and it becomes easy to be damaged quickly.

  On the other hand, when the dry cleaning aid described in Patent Document 2 is used in combination with an EM fungus-containing soap, the antibacterial agent contained in the dry cleaning aid kills the EM fungus, and the EM It will offset the excellent effect of the soap with fungus.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive that adheres to the surface of a material and protects the material in washing such as dry cleaning, laundry, and water washing, and also has an effect of improving the cleaning power. Another object of the present invention is to provide a dry cleaning detergent capable of obtaining a high cleaning effect while protecting the surface of the laundry using such an adhesive.

  The adhesive according to the present invention is a plant extract extracted from trees and herbs in a culture solution (hereinafter referred to as “EM stock solution”) inhabited by effective micro-organisms (hereinafter referred to as “EM”). It is formed by mixing a liquid and a deep water vitality agent containing natural minerals of deep sea water.

  As described above, by mixing the plant extract extract with the EM stock solution, various useful microorganisms living in the EM stock solution are activated, and the production of various metabolites such as enzymes is activated. These enzymes decompose dirt adhering to the laundry and show an excellent cleaning effect. Accordingly, the detergency is increased by activating the production of metabolites such as enzymes. Moreover, the vegetable oil component contained in the plant extract extracted from trees and herbs coats the surface of the laundry, thereby preventing the laundry from being damaged during washing. In addition, by mixing a deep water vitality agent containing natural minerals of deep sea water, the vegetable oil component coated with the laundry is not easily detached, and the damage to the laundry is effectively prevented.

  Here, the “useful microorganism group (EM)” is composed of microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, actinomycetes, and photosynthetic bacteria effective for agricultural production existing in nature, and enzymes that are metabolites thereof, 10 species, 80 species A culture solution containing the above microorganisms, in which photosynthetic bacteria have the property of causing the microorganism group to act in a certain direction (resuscitation type). Such a wide variety of microorganisms coexist with each other, work together, and exhibit a synergistic effect (see Patent Document 3).

  As the EM stock solution, trade names: MSK101, MSK102, MSK103, etc. manufactured by Sanko Sangyo Co., Ltd. can be used. In addition, an EM fungus culture solution was prepared by adding equal amounts of these commercially available EM stock solutions to sugarcane powder and honey-dissolved aqueous solution. An EM stock solution produced by adding, stirring and curing and curing for 1 to 3 days can also be used.

  “Natural minerals in deep sea water” refers to natural mineral components contained in deep sea water such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.

  Moreover, in this invention, the extract extracted by adding water to the leaf of a pine leaf, a bamboo, or a bamboo shoot, and a citrus leaf and boiling it can be used for the said plant extract extract.

  By using such an extract as a plant extract extract, the effect of protecting the laundry and improving the texture by the adhesive is particularly apparent.

  In the present invention, the plant extract extract may be an extract obtained by extracting and producing cedar, cypress, pine, and psyllium extracts.

  Here, “HB101” (trade name; manufactured by Flora Co., Ltd.) or the like can be used as the “plant extract extract obtained by extracting cedar, cypress, pine and psyllium extracts”.

  In the present invention, the EM stock solution contains at least a microorganism belonging to actinomycetes, a microorganism belonging to photosynthetic bacteria, a microorganism belonging to lactic acid bacteria, a microorganism belonging to filamentous fungi, and a microorganism belonging to yeast in an aqueous solution in which molasses and rice bran are dissolved. It is possible to use a culture solution inhabiting a microorganism group containing.

  In the present invention, as the deep-layer water vitality agent, “deep-layer water vitality agent” (trade name; manufactured by Iris Ohyama Co., Ltd.) can be used.

  The detergent for dry cleaning according to the present invention is characterized by containing the above-mentioned adhesive and dry soap.

  According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) The laundry will not be damaged when washing such as dry cleaning, laundry, washing with water is performed. By using the adhesive of the present invention, the surface of the laundry is protected with a vegetable oil film, and the laundry is prevented from being damaged.

(2) Even if it is leather clothes, it becomes possible to perform dry cleaning as it is. Conventionally, if a leather garment is washed as it is in dry cleaning, the oil is drained and becomes dry, and the garment is damaged. However, by using the adhesive of the present invention, the surface of the leather is protected and oil leakage is prevented, so that washing can be performed without damaging the clothes.

(3) After washing, the texture and flexibility of the washed clothes increase.

(4) It is possible to perform dry cleaning even on clothing with an iron print attached.

(5) Dry cleaning can be performed even with vinyl chloride resin (enamel fabric such as satin fabric). Conventionally, clothing made of a vinyl chloride resin cannot be dry-cleaned as it is because it cracks or the surface of the fabric peels off when dry-cleaned 2-3 times. However, by using the adhesive of the present invention, the surface of the satin fabric is protected, and it becomes possible to perform dry cleaning without damaging the fabric even if it is clothing of the satin fabric.

(6) Oxidation / deterioration of the dry cleaning liquid is less likely to occur, and the number of reuses of the dry cleaning liquid can be increased. The dry cleaning solution is reused after being used for dry cleaning and then regenerated by filtration through a filter. However, since the fatty acid adhering to the laundry is gradually oxidized and deteriorated due to elution of the fatty acid in the dry cleaning solution, the number of reuses is limited. The conventional dry cleaning liquid can be reused about 200 times in general. However, it has been experimentally clarified that by using the dry cleaning detergent according to the present invention, it is possible to perform reuse about 600 times in a normal case.

(7) The adhesive according to the present invention can also be used as a spraying agent for repelling plant pests such as plants, and if this adhesive is sprayed on a plant, it adheres to the plant. It is also effective in repelling pests.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  The adhesive according to Example 1 of the present invention was manufactured as follows.

(1) To 100 cc of water at 30 to 60 ° C., 700 to 800 g of sugar cane powder and 900 to 1000 g of honey are added and mixed by stirring to make a culture solution.

(2) To 200 cc of this culture solution, 150 to 250 cc of a commercially available EM bacterial solution is added and mixed to make a mixed solution. A commercially available EM fungal solution is a group of microorganisms consisting of microorganisms having an acidity of 50 or more, having no acidity, producing lactic acid and producing butyric acid in a culture solution such as molasses and rice bran. It is a mixture of microorganisms including microorganisms belonging to actinomycetes, microorganisms belonging to photosynthetic bacteria, microorganisms belonging to lactic acid bacteria, microorganisms belonging to filamentous fungi and microorganisms belonging to yeast. As such commercially available EM fungus solutions, trade names “EM1”, “EM2”, “EM3” manufactured by EM Laboratories, and “Sion EM1”, “Sion EM2” manufactured by Sanko Sangyo Co., Ltd. ”,“ Sion EM3 ”, trade name“ EMW ”manufactured by EM Laboratory, and trade name“ EMX ”manufactured by Tropical Resource Plant Research Institute.

(3) Put 400 cc of the above mixed solution into a 2 liter PET bottle, add 1500 cc of rice broth heated to 40-50 ° C., stir and mix, and then cure for 1-3 days. Thereby, the EM stock solution used in Example 1 is made.

(4) To 2 liters of EM stock solution, add 6 to 12 ml of plant extract extract and 30 to 60 ml of deep water vitality agent and mix to produce an adhesive. Here, in this example, HB101 (trade name; manufactured by Flora Co., Ltd.) was used as the plant extract extract. This HB101 is commercially available as a plant vitality fluid, and contains a plant extract extract obtained by extracting and extracting cedar, cypress, pine, and psyllium extracts. Moreover, in the present Example, as the deep-layer water vitality agent, “Deep-layer water vitality agent” manufactured by Iris Oyama Co., Ltd., marketed as liquid fertilizer was used. This “deep water vitality agent” is a solution rich in natural minerals of deep sea water such as magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium.

  The plant extract extract, which is a component of the adhering liquid according to the present example, serves as feed for various useful microorganisms that inhabit the EM stock solution. Moreover, the vegetable fat component contained in a plant extract extract adheres to the surface of raw materials, such as laundry, and forms a thin film. This coating contributes to the luster and sliminess of the material. It also serves as a protective film that protects the surface of the material and protects the material surface from corrosion or alteration. Furthermore, in a raw material such as a skin product, the oil and fat component contained in the product is prevented from being eluted to the outside and becoming dry.

  Moreover, the mineral contained in the deep water vitality agent which is a component of the adhesion liquid which concerns on a present Example is utilized by EM bacteria as a mineral nutrient source, and activates the function of EM bacteria. Thereby, the production | generation of the enzyme by EM microbe is activated.

  The adhesive according to the present embodiment is used as an additive for protecting the laundry in dry cleaning, and also as a protective agent for coating the glass surface to protect the glass from dirt and fogging. Can be used.

  The adhesive according to Example 2 is basically manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, but instead of HB101 as a plant extract extract added to the EM stock solution in the manufacturing process (4) of Example 1 above. Extracts extracted by adding water to the leaves of pine leaves, bamboo or bamboo shoots and mandarin oranges and boiling were used. Experiments have demonstrated that even when such a plant extract extract is used, it is possible to obtain the effect of EM fungal activity and the effect of protecting the surface of the material as in Example 1.

  The detergent for dry cleaning using the adhesive according to Example 3 is manufactured by mixing 1700 cc of dry soap with 200 cc of the adhesive produced in the manufacturing process (4) of Example 1 or 2 above. The This dry cleaning detergent is used by washing in a 13k type dryer once and adding 30 to 40 cc of the dry cleaning detergent to a normal dry cleaning washing liquid. The washing method is the same as in the case of normal dry cleaning (for example, see [Prior Art] in Patent Document 1).

  The inventor used this dry cleaning detergent to wash clothes by actual dry cleaning. As a result, it was found that the texture and flexibility of the clothes after washing were better than when a conventional soap containing EM bacteria was used.

  In fact, as a result of washing garments for 530 revolutions with a dryer, it was proved that the clothes were never damaged and the texture and hue were maintained. In addition, the cracking of the buttons and the damage to the metal fasteners, which were sometimes seen in the past, were not seen at all. This is considered to be due to the film protective effect of the vegetable oil component as described above.

  In addition, especially in leather clothes and vinyl chloride resin clothes, the protective effect of the film by the vegetable oil and fat component contained in the plant extract extract is noticeable, and in leather products, the moist feeling of the clothes after washing is good. It has been demonstrated that vinyl chloride resin products do not crack or peel off the clothing surface. Therefore, by using the dry cleaning detergent of this embodiment, it is possible to perform dry cleaning as it is, even for leather clothes and vinyl chloride resin clothes.

Furthermore, it was found that the oxidation and deterioration of the dry cleaning liquid is less likely to occur due to the degradation action of the protein and fat of the enzyme produced by EM bacteria, and the number of times the dry cleaning liquid is reused can be increased.
