Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an incense stick capable of continuously burning for many hours, having a suppressed burning rate. SOLUTION: This incense stick comprises 10-50wt.%, preferably 20-50wt.% based on the total of the incense stick of wheat flour to suppress the burning rate of the incense stick. For example, an insecticidal incense is composed of 0.01-2wt.% of an insecticidal component compound, 10-30wt.% of a binder such as powder of Machilus thunbergii, etc., 10-50wt.% of the wheat flour and 20-65wt.% of a combustion supporting agent such as Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, wood flour, etc.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to incense sticks, and more particularly to insecticidal incense sticks having a suppressed burning rate and burn rate suppressing agents for incense sticks.

[0002]

Various incense sticks are known so far, but insecticidal sticks for controlling mosquitoes, flies, etc.,
Since so-called mosquito coil is generally burned in about 6 to 7 hours at maximum, there is a problem that it burns out while a person is sleeping and is bitten by a mosquito at dawn. On the other hand, although it is possible to solve the problem by increasing the total length of the insecticidal incense stick, in reality, the shape and size of the mold for making an incense stick having a total length of 70 to 80 cm, which has been conventionally used, can be improved. Since the capital investment such as the modification of the manufacturing line and the modification of the packaging equipment due to the change is large, it has been desired to develop an insecticidal incense stick with a slow burning rate that can be manufactured using the current manufacturing equipment as it is.

[0003]

The present invention provides the use of wheat flour as a burning rate inhibitor for incense sticks, which is usually 10 to 50% by weight, preferably about 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the incense sticks. By adding it in an amount of 25 to 50% by weight, the burning rate of the incense stick is suppressed appropriately.

Generally, if the amount of wheat flour added exceeds 50% by weight, the flammability is deteriorated and the incense may disappear, which is not preferable. On the other hand, the amount of flour added is 1
If it is less than 0% by weight, a sufficient combustion rate suppressing effect is often not obtained.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In particular, when the incense is an insecticidal incense, the composition is usually 0.01 to 2% by weight of the insecticidal active ingredient compound, 10 to 30% by weight of the binder, 10 to 50% by weight of flour and 20 of the combustion supporting agent. .About.65% by weight.

As the insecticidal active ingredient compound, a pyrethroid compound excellent in safety is preferably used, and specific examples thereof include pyrethrin, allethrin,
Praletrin, transfluthrin, resmethrin, flamethrin, empentrin, terrarethrin, phthalthrin and the like can be mentioned.

As the binder, for example, tab powder, starch,
Natural polymers such as mannan, seaweed extract powder, trolla mallow powder, tragacanth gum, gum arabic, guar gum, gambir extract powder, casein, polyacrylamide, sodium polyacrylate, polyethylene oxide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxy Examples thereof include synthetic polymers such as propyl cellulose, carboxymethyl starch salt, dialdehyde starch, and cationic starch, which may be used alone or in admixture of two or more. In particular, in insecticidal incense, tab powder as a binder, that is, bark and branches of Tabuki, which is a tree of the genus Tabuki of the family Asteraceae,
It is preferable to use dried leaves and the like to make powder.

As the combustion-supporting agent, for example, wood powder, Asteraceae plant powder, Apiaceae plant powder, Mesaceae plant powder,
Such as Zinchoideaceae plant powder, Myrtaceae plant powder, Moraceae plant powder, Alanaceae plant powder, Lamiaceae plant powder, Rubiaceae plant powder, Honeysuckle family plant powder, Gramineae plant powder, Pyrethrum chrysanthemum powder Plant dry powder,
Examples thereof include carbon powder such as charcoal, activated carbon, coal and carbon black, which may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In particular, in insecticidal incense, pyrethrum powder and / or wood powder as a combustion-supporting agent, for example, juniper powder, sandalwood powder, camphor powder, Mominoki powder, cedar powder, willow powder, spring powder, honoki powder, linden powder, spruce powder, Yellow poplar powder, wig powder, acacia powder, porcupine powder, psyllium powder, psyllium powder, sawdust powder, Nezuko powder, kiri powder, shioji powder, balsa powder, lauan powder,
It is preferable to use birch powder, citrus tree powder, shiitake mushroom hod powder and the like.

If necessary, pigments and preservatives are used for incense sticks. Examples of pigments used include organic pigments such as malachite green, inorganic pigments and dyes. Examples of the antifungal agent include benzoic acid, sorbic acid, dehydroacetic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, o.
-Acids such as phenylphenol, the salts and the esters, and the like are contained in the incense stick in an amount of 2% by weight or less.

The insecticidal incense of the present invention is prepared by mixing an insecticidal active ingredient compound or a preparation thereof (emulsion, oil, microencapsulated preparation, various inclusion preparations, etc.), a binder, flour, a combustion-supporting agent, etc., and water. In addition, after kneading, it is manufactured by molding with a molding machine such as a press molding machine, an extrusion molding machine, an injection molding machine, and drying.

Next, a production example of insecticidal incense used for comparison in the test examples described below will be shown as a reference example. Reference Example 1 Prarethrin emulsion 0.08 parts by weight, tab powder 40 parts by weight, wood powder 20 parts by weight, malachite green 0.3 parts by weight, sodium dehydroacetate 0.2 parts by weight and insecticidal chrysanthemum meal powder were added and mixed to make 100 parts by weight, which was then mixed. An appropriate amount of water was added to the mixture, and the mixture was well kneaded, extruded and dried to obtain an insecticidal incense stick. Reference Example 2 An insecticidal incense stick was obtained in the same manner as in Reference Example 1, except that 30 parts by weight instead of 40 parts by weight of tab powder and 10 parts by weight instead of 20 parts by weight of wood powder were used. Reference Example 3 An insecticidal incense stick was obtained in the same manner as in Reference Example 1, except that 20 parts by weight were used instead of 40 parts by weight of the tab powder. Reference Example 4 An insecticidal incense stick was obtained in the same manner as in Reference Example 3 except that 10 parts by weight was used instead of 20 parts by weight of wood flour. Reference Example 5 An insecticidal incense stick was obtained in the same manner as in Reference Example 4 except that 10 parts by weight was used instead of 20 parts by weight of the tab powder.

Next, test examples will be described. Test Example Using each of the insecticidal incense sticks obtained in the above Production Examples and Reference Examples, the time required for burning 1 cm was measured by the following method. That is, a 10 cm long incense stick is supported horizontally,
Two weights of about 3 g were hung from incense sticks with a thin cotton thread at intervals of 4 cm (see Fig. 1). The incense stick was ignited, and the time from when the first weight fell due to combustion to when the next weight fell was measured. Repeated three times, the average value was divided by the length (4 cm) to obtain the burning time per cm. The results are shown in Table 1.
