Description

  The present invention relates to a wax-containing composition and a method for producing the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to a wax-containing composition that is easy to use and suitable for processing, and a method for producing the same.

  Carving is a sculpture, and Thai carving is one of the traditional Thai culture that has been passed down for more than 700 years. It is said to start.

  Carving is especially known as a decoration for Thai court dishes. Due to the unique technical content of carving with a dedicated knife and the delicate art with flowers as motifs, the word “Tykerbing” has attracted attention from all over the world. In Japan, awareness has increased in recent years.

  Carvings include fruit carving, vegetable carving, soap carving, and candle carving depending on the material to be carved, but in Japan, soap soap is more popular than soap and fruit.

  In addition, as a material for carving, selection of an object other than soap is also considered. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a device for carving a family crest on a candle and decorating it.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-97150

  However, soaps that have been manufactured for a long time tend to become dry and hard when touched with oxygen in the air, and tend to be brittle when carving soap.

  For example, the tip of the part which gave the fine decoration thins and the malfunction which peels off with a slight impact arises. For this reason, it is difficult to express a saw-toothed or wavy pattern of a saw or a unique technique called “extract” by moving a knife specific to tie carving up and down.

  As described above, soap carving for soap has a problem in that the hardness of the soap affects the comfort of carving and the degree of completion as a work.

  In addition, it is difficult to immediately determine whether or not the soap has just been manufactured at the time of purchase of the soap at the store. For this reason, in soap carving classes, in order to obtain soaps suitable for soap carving, many soaps are purchased directly from soap manufacturers.

  On the other hand, handmade soap for carving may be manufactured by itself so that the soap immediately after manufacture can be used. However, in this case, it is necessary to be familiar with both the soap manufacturing know-how and the carving technology, and not everyone can do it.

  In addition, when hand-made soap is manufactured, it is necessary to age it for about one month until it becomes hard enough to be carved. Furthermore, since the aging period varies depending on the environment such as the material, temperature, and humidity, experience and intuition are required to determine the hardness of the soap. For beginners with little experience, it is even more difficult to make and use soap for carving.

  Moreover, even if a soap with moderate hardness can be obtained, the amount of soap that has failed in cutting is accumulated every day according to the amount of practice for learning cutting techniques, and the amount cannot be consumed by individuals.

  In many cases, the soaps that fail to be cut are discarded. For some users, the amount of practice is reduced due to the waste of soap, which is a factor that hinders technical improvement.

  Moreover, since the candle itself described in Patent Document 1 is a consumable item, it cannot cope with the problem regarding disposal.

  The present invention has been invented in view of the above points, and aims to provide a wax-containing composition that is easy to use and suitable for processing, and a method for producing the same.

  In order to achieve the above object, the wax-containing composition of the present invention contains a paraffin wax and a gel wax.

  Here, the base of the wax-containing composition can be made with paraffin wax. Moreover, since paraffin wax can be repeatedly dissolved and molded, even if it has been cut once, it can be reused as a wax-containing composition.

  Gel waxes can also make a base for wax-containing compositions. Moreover, since gel wax can be repeatedly dissolved and molded, even if it has been cut once, it can be reused as a wax-containing composition. Moreover, since the hardness of a composition changes by changing the content, it becomes easy to adjust the hardness of a wax-containing composition.

  Further, when microcrystalline wax is contained, the viscosity of the composition can be changed by changing the content thereof. For example, by applying an appropriate viscosity to the composition, it is possible to easily remove the sculpture after engraving. In addition, cracks are less likely to occur in the wax-containing composition as compared to a composition produced only with paraffin wax and gel wax.

  Moreover, when the melting point of the paraffin wax is 58 ° C., an appropriate hardness can be imparted to the wax-containing composition. Moreover, when a fragrance | flavor is made to contain in a composition, a fragrance | flavor can be given persistence. Moreover, when a candle core is put on the wax-containing composition and used as a candle, it has an appropriate combustibility.

  When the melting point of the gel wax is 90 ° C., the sticky feeling when the wax-containing composition is carved for a long time can be reduced.

  When the melting point of microcrystalline wax is 81.5 ° C., a wax-containing composition having an appropriate viscosity can be produced.

  When the content of paraffin wax is in the range of 48 to 58% by weight based on the total amount, it has an appropriate hardness as the base of the wax-containing composition, so that it feels sticky and sticky when held in the hand. The touch is improved.

  On the other hand, when the content of the paraffin wax is less than 48% by weight based on the total amount, the blending ratio of the gel wax as the base component increases, so that the wax-containing composition becomes too soft and brittle. In addition, when the content of paraffin wax exceeds 58% by weight based on the total amount, the blending ratio of the gel wax as the base component decreases, so that the wax-containing composition becomes hard and a fine decoration is applied. It becomes difficult.

  When the gel wax content is in the range of 38 to 46% by weight based on the total amount, it has an appropriate hardness as the base of the wax-containing composition, so that the sticky feel when held in the hand is improved. The

  On the other hand, when the gel wax content is less than 38% by weight based on the total amount, the wax-containing composition becomes hard and difficult to cut. On the other hand, when the gel wax content exceeds 46% by weight, the wax-containing composition becomes too soft and brittle. Also, fine workmanship of the surface is difficult, and it becomes sticky if held in the hand for a long time.

  When the content of the microcrystalline wax is in the range of 2 to 10% by weight on the basis of the total amount, the touch feeling is good and the cutting becomes easy, so that fine cutting can be performed.

  On the other hand, when the content of the microcrystalline wax is less than 2% by weight on the basis of the total amount, the stickiness is reduced, and the swarf can not be extracted well when it is cut. For this reason, the sculpture is likely to remain in the interior of the decorated part, and the appearance is deteriorated. Further, when the content of the microcrystalline wax exceeds 10% by weight on the basis of the total amount, when the wax-containing composition is held in the hand, it becomes easily sticky.

  In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing the wax-containing composition of the present invention comprises a dissolution step of dissolving a mixture of paraffin wax, gel wax, and microcrystalline wax, and the dissolution step. A molding step of molding the resulting melt.

  Here, a wax-containing composition in which these three materials are mixed can be manufactured by a dissolution process in which a mixture in which paraffin wax, gel wax, and microcrystalline wax are mixed is dissolved.

  A wax-containing composition base can also be made with paraffin wax. Since paraffin wax can be repeatedly dissolved and molded, even if it has been cut once, it can be reused as a wax-containing composition.

  Gel waxes can also make a base for wax-containing compositions. Moreover, since gel wax can be repeatedly dissolved and molded, even if it has been cut once, it can be reused as a wax-containing composition. Moreover, since the hardness of a composition changes by changing the content, it becomes easy to adjust the hardness of a wax-containing composition.

  Further, when microcrystalline wax is contained, the viscosity of the composition can be changed by changing the content thereof. For example, by applying an appropriate viscosity to the composition, it is possible to easily remove the sculpture after engraving. In addition, cracks are less likely to occur in the wax-containing composition as compared to a composition produced only with paraffin wax and gel wax.

  In addition, a solid wax-containing composition can be produced by a molding process in which a melt produced in the melting process is molded.

  In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing a wax-containing composition of the present invention comprises a molding step of dissolving and molding a mixture of paraffin wax, gel wax, and microcrystalline wax.

  Here, by dissolving a mixture of paraffin wax, gel wax, and microcrystalline wax, a solid wax-containing composition in which three materials are mixed can be produced.

  The wax-containing composition and the method for producing the same according to the present invention are easy to use and provide a wax-containing composition suitable for processing and the method for producing the same.

It is the schematic explaining an example of the process of manufacturing the wax containing composition of this invention. 1 is a perspective view of a wax body 1. FIG.

  Here, the paraffin wax used for the wax body 1 is not limited to one having a melting point of 58 ° C. However, it is used for the wax body 1 because the wax body 1 can have an appropriate hardness, can be repeatedly dissolved and molded, and can easily keep the scent when a fragrance is added. The paraffin wax to be used preferably has a melting point of 58 ° C.

  The gel wax used for the wax body 1 is not limited to those having a melting point of 90 ° C. However, the gel wax used for the wax body has a melting point of 90 because the stickiness when the wax body 1 is held in the hand for a long time can be reduced and the dissolution and molding can be repeated. It is preferable that it is a thing of ° C.

  The wax body 1 does not necessarily need to contain microcrystalline wax. However, it is preferable that the microcrystalline wax is contained in the wax body 1 from the viewpoint that the viscosity of the composition can be changed.

  Further, the microcrystalline wax used for the wax body 1 is not limited to one having a melting point of 81.5 ° C. However, the gel wax used for the wax body 1 has a melting point of 81.5 ° C. because the wax body 1 can have an appropriate viscosity and can have a smooth hand feeling. Preferably there is.

  The wax body 1 does not necessarily need to contain 52% by weight of paraffin wax based on the total amount. However, it is preferable that the wax body 1 contains 52% by weight of paraffin wax based on the total amount from the viewpoint that the wax body 1 having a hardness suitable for fine decoration can be obtained.

  The wax body 1 does not necessarily need to contain 43% by weight of gel wax based on the total amount. However, since the wax body 1 having a hardness suitable for fine decoration can be obtained, the wax body 1 preferably contains 43% by weight of gel wax based on the total amount.

  Moreover, the wax body 1 does not necessarily need to contain 5% by weight of microcrystalline wax based on the total amount. However, it is preferable that the wax body 1 contains 5% by weight of microcrystalline wax on the basis of the total amount because a fine technique called “punch” can be performed and the swarf is easily removed.

  Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the wax body 1 is demonstrated.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, a mixture of 52% by weight paraffin wax, 43% by weight gel wax, and 5% by weight microcrystalline wax is heated in a pan and dissolved (step S1). The heating temperature is in the range of 100 ° C. to 110 ° C., and heating is continued for about 5 minutes until the mixture is dissolved.

  After dissolving, continue to heat for about 1-2 minutes. During this time, mix gently to avoid foaming the lysate. This is because air bubbles enter the wax body.

  The fully dissolved solution is cooled and poured into a mold and allowed to stand for about 30-40 minutes until it completely solidifies.

  The wax body 1 is allowed to stand for about 1 to 2 hours with natural cooling until it reaches room temperature (step S2).

  If the wax body 1 is taken out of the mold after cooling, a semi-spherical wax body 1 as shown in FIG. 2 can be produced. The wax body 1 has a decorative surface 4.

  Here, since the wax body 1 has an appropriate hardness for performing cutting, the decoration 40 can be applied to the decorative surface 4.

  Further, in the case of soap, it is necessary to age for several days to several tens of days. However, the wax body 1 is subjected to a cutting technique such as carving on the decorative surface 4 if the temperature is lowered to an appropriate temperature without aging. be able to.

  Also, the wax body 1 is suitable for cutting such as carving, and has a feeling of carving that is close to that of soap just after manufacture. It can be decorated with fine decorations and enjoys a comfortable carving feeling. be able to.

  Further, since the wax body 1 is heated and dissolved while sufficiently mixing three materials of paraffin wax, gel wax, and microcrystalline wax, the wax body 1 has a uniform hardness as a whole and is comfortable to carve. stable.

  Paraffin wax, gel wax and microcrystalline wax, which are the materials of the wax body 1, have a simple composition and are chemically stable. For this reason, it is hard to harden even if the wax body 1 is left in the air, and a fine decoration can be applied even after a long period of time has elapsed after manufacture.

  Moreover, even a used wax body that has been decorated once can be reused if it is finely chopped, heated in a pan or the like, and then molded again.

  In addition, since the regenerated wax body is hardly deteriorated in terms of hardness and color even when compared with the wax body manufactured from the material, it can be regenerated repeatedly and you can enjoy a comfortable carving feeling over and over again. .

  Moreover, even if the wax body has been decorated once, it can be used repeatedly as long as it is heated and melted and molded again, so that resources are not wasted.

  The generated wax body 1 can be chopped into cubes. The cube-shaped wax body can be mixed with a wax body having another color and dissolved to create a wax body having a new color.

  Moreover, since a coloring agent and a fragrance | flavor can also be added in the process of manufacturing the wax body 1, it can create and enjoy an original color and fragrance without limiting the color and fragrance of commercially available soap. .

  Moreover, since wax is used as a material, if a candle core is attached, it can be used as a candle with a delicate decoration.

  The material to be mixed is not limited to paraffin wax, clear gel wax, and microcrystalline wax. For example, it is possible to mix palm wax, stearic acid wax, or the like.

  By adding palm wax to the wax body 1, the viscosity becomes low and the wax body 1 can be easily removed from the mold after natural cooling. Moreover, since it becomes moderate hardness, it will be suitable for fine decoration.

  By adding stearic acid wax to the wax body 1, bubbles can be reduced and the color of the dye can be improved. Furthermore, the hardness of the wax body can be increased.

  Moreover, the heating means of a mixture is not specifically limited. In addition to heating with a pan, hot plate, pressurization, melting with far infrared rays, etc. are also conceivable.

  In addition, the heating temperature is not necessarily set within the range of 100 ° C to 110 ° C. For example, when gel wax having a melting point of 90 ° C. is used, it is sufficient that the temperature exceeds 90 ° C. at least.

  The heating time is not particularly limited. It is sufficient if the paraffin wax, gel wax and microcrystalline wax are thoroughly mixed and dissolved.

  Further, the cooling means is not particularly limited. Besides natural cooling, freezing, forced cooling with cold air, etc. are also conceivable.

  Further, the shape of the engraved wax body is not particularly limited. It is not limited to a cube shape, but may be a powder shape, a bead shape, or a liquid shape. Further, the shape is not limited to a semi-spherical shape, and it may be a cube, a columnar shape, or a plate shape.
