Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title white, cushiony, durable sliding material, capable of giving sliding nature virtually equivalent to that for natural snow by impregnating and covering the surface of granular cork with wax and by setting and coating the wax surface with talc powder. CONSTITUTION:The surface of granular cork 1-5 (pref. ca.2) mm in size is impregnated and covered with wax consisting of a saturated hydrocarbon mixture (microcrystalline wax) ca.500-700 in molecular weight comprising ca.35-50C branched hydrocarbons and/or naphthene hydrocarbons, and the surface of the wax is set and coated with talc powder pref. 350 mesh-passable in size, thus obtaining the objective sliding material. The preferable proportion is as follows: (1) granular cork: 100 pts.wt., (2) wax: 270-400 pts.wt. and (3) talc powder: 700-1000 pts.wt.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above objective, various studies were conducted, and it was discovered that a good artificial ski slip material could be obtained by coating granular material, which is aggregate, with powder, which is a slip material. They discovered that cork is suitable as this granular material, that talc powder is most suitable as a sliding material, and that it is very effective to use wax as a means of fixing talc powder to this granular cork. They discovered that coatings can be obtained.

That is, in the present invention, the particle size is 1 to 5 mm, preferably about 2 mm.
The object of the present invention is to provide an artificial slipping material for skis, characterized in that the surface of granular cork is impregnated and coated with wax, and the surface of the wax is coated with talc powder fixed to the surface.

The granular cork used in the present invention is obtained from the bark of a deciduous tree called cork oak, and is made by crushing ordinary cork, which is often used for bottle stoppers, etc., and the particle size is 1 to 1. A desirable length is about 5 mm, preferably about 2 mm.

These granular corks are impregnated with wax and coated with wax, and commonly used waxes include carnauba wax, beeswax, paraffin, montan, polyethylene, Japanese wax, rice wax, mineral wax, ketone wax, and oxidized paraffin. In particular, branched chain hydrocarbons with an average carbon number of about 35 to 50 and naphdenic hydrocarbons, which are commercially available as microcrystalline wax, have a molecular weight of 50.
A mixture of about 0 to 700 saturated hydrocarbons can be suitably used.

The lubricating material of the present invention is obtained by impregnating and coating granular cork with the wax as described above, and further coating the surface with talc powder.

The talc powder is preferably one with high whiteness and as fine a powder as possible; for example, a powder that passes through a 350-mesh mesh is desirable.

Next, to explain the method for manufacturing the lubricant of the present invention, wax is first heated and melted, and when the temperature has dropped to about 80°C, granular cork is added and mixed, and the temperature is further lowered while stirring to about 60°C.
When talc powder is added at 0°C and the temperature is lowered to room temperature while stirring, a granular artificial lubricant with a bamboo-like appearance is created.

状態になってしまうのである。
In the present invention, the particle size of the granular cork is limited to 1 to 5 mm because if the particle size of the granular cork is smaller than 1 mm, wax impregnation will be reduced, making it difficult for the talc powder to coat, making it a good slippery material. This is not the case. On the other hand, if the cork is large, with a particle size of more than 5 mm, the artificial lubricant will be too large and lack smoothness, and when stacked on a slope, there will be a large number of voids, resulting in an unstable state where it is easy to move.

本発明者等の実験の結果、この粒状コルクの粒径は約2
mm位が最も好適であると判断されたのである。
As a result of experiments conducted by the present inventors, the particle size of this granular cork is approximately 2
It was determined that a diameter of about mm is most suitable.

この粒状コルクはクツション性があって軽く、容積的に
は本発明滑材の主要部であるが、重量的には少ない配合
で良いものである。
This granular cork has cushioning properties and is light, and although it is the main part of the lubricant of the present invention in terms of volume, it can be added in a small amount in terms of weight.

すなわち、本発明における滑材成分の量的関係を説明す
ると、粒状コルク100重量部に対してロウは270〜
400重量部であり、タルク粉末は最も多くて700〜
1000重量部となっているのである。
That is, to explain the quantitative relationship of the lubricant components in the present invention, the amount of wax is 270 to 100 parts by weight of granular cork.
400 parts by weight, and the maximum amount of talc powder is 700~
It is 1000 parts by weight.

つまり1粒状コルク100重量部に対してロウが270
重量部より少ないとタルク粉末の適切な固着が得られず
滑りが悪くなるし、一方、ロウが400重量部をこえる
とこのロウによって粒状コルク同志が結着して大きな玉
になり、粒状の滑材にはならないのである。
In other words, 100 parts by weight of granular cork contains 270 parts of wax.
If the amount of wax is less than 400 parts by weight, the talc powder will not be properly fixed and slippage will be poor.On the other hand, if the amount of wax exceeds 400 parts by weight, the wax will bind the granular cork together and form large balls, causing the granular lubrication to become difficult. It cannot be used as wood.

また粒状コルク100重量部に対してタルク粉末が70
0重量部未満ではタルク粉末が不足してコーティングが
不完全となり滑りにくくなるし、一方タルク粉末が10

Also, 70 parts of talc powder is added to 100 parts by weight of granular cork.
If it is less than 0 parts by weight, there will be insufficient talc powder and the coating will be incomplete and difficult to slip.
If it exceeds 0.00 parts by weight, there is too much talc to absorb the wax and even the wax coating the granular cork will peel off, making it impossible to use it as an artificial lubricant.

[Function] The present invention is a novel artificial slipping material for skis having the above-mentioned structure, in which granular cork as an aggregate is coated with talc powder as a slipping material through a waxy interlayer.

The granular cork in the present invention has fine pores, and has the effect of impregnating the surface of the granular cork with the wax to an appropriate degree, thereby strengthening the bond between the granular cork and the wax, and making it difficult for the wax coating to fall off. This prevents the talcum powder that adheres to and coats the surface of the wax from falling off the lubricant.

換言すれば、滑り材としてのタルク粉末はロウを介して

永く持続するのである。
In other words, the talc powder as a slipping material is firmly held on the granular cork via the wax, and its effect as a slipping material lasts for a long time.

This talcum powder has a very remarkable effect as a slipping material.For example, other inorganic powders such as clay and kaolin were also investigated, but talcum powder is the best, and it has a high degree of whiteness and an appearance that does not affect snow. It's close.

The granular cork used in the present invention is light and has cushioning properties, and the feel when skiing on skis is very similar to snow.Moreover, this particle size is appropriate, so the slipping material of the present invention is used. When stacked on a slope and skied, it curves,
When operating the brakes, etc., the effect is almost the same as that of snow.

In addition, when the sliding material of the present invention is laminated on a slope, it is stable and does not flow easily even when it rains, and the laminated thickness of 1 to 3 ca is sufficient due to its cushioning properties, and the material is inexpensive. It is also extremely economical.

[Example] 5 kg of microcrystalline wax (HI-MIC-3080 manufactured by Hiki Seiro) as a wax was heated and melted, and the temperature was gradually lowered. When the temperature reached about 80'C, the particle size was 2 m.
1,500g of granular cork (manufactured by Nippon Cork Co., Ltd.) was added and mixed, and when the temperature was lowered to about 60°C while stirring, 13kg of talc powder (talc MS-P, manufactured by Nippon Talc Co., Ltd.) was added and mixed while stirring. When the temperature was lowered to room temperature, a bamboo-shaped artificial lubricant was obtained in which talc powder was firmly coated on the outer periphery of granular cork via wax.
