Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain dried plant having the color, shape and texture of the fresh plant, and free from unnatural gloss, by applying a plant-preservation liquid composed of water, an adhesive, a coagulant, white fine powder, and a colorant to cut flower, cut grass, cut twig, etc. CONSTITUTION:A plant-preservation liquid composed of water, an adhesive (e.g. polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive), a coagulant (e.g. calcium sulfate, glucono delta lactone, etc.), white fine powder (e.g. starch, talc, lime, etc.) and a colorant is prepared beforehand, and is applied to a cut plant by brushing, spraying, dipping, etc. and dried to obtain dried plant. The shape of the plant can be maintained by the adhesive and the coagulant in the preservation liquid, and the unnatural excess luster of pedals and leaves, etc. can be prevented by the presence of the white fine powder. When the plant has high oil content such as lily, satuki azalea, etc., it is preferable to decrease the oil with CH2Cl2 before the application of the preservation liquid.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention provides a plant preservation solution for preserving plants such as cut flowers, cut grass, and cut trees for a long period of time, and formation of dried plants using the plant preservation solution. Regarding the method.

[Background technology]

As dried plants, so-called dried flowers, which are cut flowers and cut grass, have been known. Conventionally, dried flowers have been prepared by placing cut flowers, grass, etc. in a container filled with silica gel, and drying the container by applying a vacuum to the container. However, in the conventional method, drying must be done in a vacuum container, which requires a special container, which increases costs.Also, when removing dried plants from the vacuum container, if a slight external force is applied to the dried plants, they may fall apart. It tears and falls off, making it impossible to maintain the shape of the dried plant.Moreover, with conventional methods, when dried, the flowers, leaves, and stems change color and shrink.
There was a problem in that the cut flowers and grass were far removed from their original beautiful colors and shapes.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention applied a mixture of adhesive, water, and coloring agent to cut flowers, cut grass, and cut trees, and used the adhesive to maintain the shape of cut flowers, cut grass, and cut trees. At the same time, we thought of coloring the plant to prevent it from fading, but the glue made the surface of the plant (for example, the surface of petals, leaves, stems, etc.) smooth and had an unnatural luster. There was a problem in that this resulted in a difference from the natural beautiful color and surface condition of the plant.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was invented in view of the above points, and the first object of the present invention is to maintain the color, shape, and texture of the plant in its raw state by attaching it to the plant. The object of the second invention is to provide a liquid for preserving plants that can produce Kokichi. By attaching it to cut plants such as grass, cut trees, etc., flowers,
It can maintain the fresh shape of plants such as grass and trees, it can coagulate plants with a coagulant and maintain their original shape, and it uses coloring agents that correspond to the petals, leaves, stems, etc. This prevents the color from fading, and if you use a coloring agent of your choice, you can create a different color to your liking before coloring.
We used a plant preservation liquid and a plant preservation liquid that can be applied to the surface of the stem to eliminate the shiny feel of the adhesive and leave the surfaces of petals, leaves, and stems in a more natural state. Disclosure of the Invention The present invention provides a method for forming a dried plant by mixing water, an adhesive, a coagulant, white fine particles, and a coloring agent. 1 invention, together with water, adhesive, coagulant, white fine particles,
A second invention provides a method for forming a dried plant in which a plant preservation liquid mixed with a coloring agent is attached to a cut plant such as a cut flower, cut grass, or cut tree, and the method adopts the above structure. Thus, the object of the present invention has been achieved.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. The plant preservation liquid of the present invention is a mixture of at least water, an adhesive, a coagulant, white fine particles, and a coloring agent. Here, as the adhesive, for example, a vinyl acetate emulsion adhesive (for example, a vinyl acetate emulsion adhesive called so-called bond) is used, but the adhesive is of course not limited to the vinyl acetate emulsion adhesive mentioned above. ) is used as a coagulant, for example, calcium sulfate or talcono delta lactone is used, and white fine particles include, but are not limited to, starch, talc, lime, etc. Of course, other values may also be used. As the colorant, water-based paints, water-based dyes, etc. are used. Additionally, an optical brightener may be mixed in to bring out the natural gloss on the surface of the plant. By the way, in the plant preservation liquid having the above structure, a mixture of an adhesive, a coagulant, and white fine particles is prepared in advance as the first liquid, and the user can add an arbitrary amount of this first liquid. You can mix colorants of any color to create plant preservation liquids of various colors, or mix adhesives, coagulants, white particles, and colorants to create different colors. A wide variety of liquids may be prepared, and a plant preservation liquid of a desired color may be selected and used. In the former case, the first liquid is put on the market in chews, bottles, cans, etc., and the user mixes a coloring agent of any color (for example, paint) with this first liquid. In the latter case, a wide variety of plant preservation liquids of different colors are sold in chews, bottles, canisters, etc., and users can use them directly or diluted with water. good. In addition, when putting the first liquid or plant preservation liquid (1) into chews (2) as shown in Figure 2, make it viscous, and add the required amount by removing +cella (4). It is best to squeeze it out and dilute it with the required amount of water before use.

Next, a method for forming dried plants from cut plants such as cut flowers, cut grass, or cut trees using the above-mentioned plant preservation liquid will be described. First, if you want to finish it in the same color as the raw state, prepare a plant preservation solution mixed with a coloring agent that corresponds to each color of the petals, leaves, stems, etc., and apply this to each part of the cut plant. (For example, if the petals are pink, apply a plant preservation solution mixed with pink coloring to the petals, and if the leaves are green, apply a plant preservation solution mixed with green coloring. (applied to the leaves) and then dried to obtain a dried plant with the same color as the fresh state.

If you want to finish the plant in a color different from the color in the raw state, apply a plant preservation solution mixed with a coloring agent that is different from the color in the raw state, and then dry it to make it different from the color in the raw state. You get dried plants of color.

For application, it can be applied by brushing, by soaking cotton, cloth, sponge, etc., by spraying, or by soaking in a plant preservation solution. The first condition here is that the plant preservation solution sufficiently adheres to the entire plant, but if too much of the plant preservation solution adheres, use a brush, tissue paper, absorbent cotton, etc. to prevent the plant preservation solution from accumulating. I need to wipe things off. The number of applications is determined arbitrarily, and if necessary, apply a thin layer of plant preservation solution to cut plants, let it dry, and then apply the above plant preservation solution again. , repeat drying. By doing this, the adhesive in the plant preservation solution soaks into the flowers, leaves, stems, etc. of the cut plants and hardens, forming a film on the surface to maintain the shape of the flowers, leaves, stems, etc. The coagulant serves to coagulate the cut plant itself and maintain its original shape. In addition, when a plant preservation solution is applied, the fine particles in the plant preservation solution adhere to the surface of the petals, leaves, stems, etc. of cut plants. This prevents flower petals, leaves, stems, etc. from becoming shiny and shiny, and at the same time, by forming extremely fine irregularities on the smooth film formed by the adhesive, it is possible to improve the extremely fine surfaces of natural plants. It is made to appear with unevenness.In addition, the first step is to apply and dry the plant preservation solution.
It is best to hang the cut plant (3) upside down as shown in the figure. By doing this, the petals, leaves, and stems will not lose their shape. The dried plants obtained in the above manner can be placed in containers such as vases or baskets to make fresh flowers, arranged flowers, etc., or the flowers can be used as decorations such as roaches and kosashu, or as pressed flowers. It is. Of course, various uses other than those described above are possible.

By the way, the plant preservation solution of the present invention can be used on all kinds of plants, but in the case of plants with a high oil content in their flowers, lilies, stems, etc., such as lilies and satsukis, it is necessary to repel the plant preservation solution and apply it evenly. In such cases, it is best to remove or reduce the plant oil before applying the plant preservation liquid. To remove or reduce tree oil from the surface of plants, a solvent that dissolves tree oil (for example, a chlorinated hydrocarbon mainly composed of methylene chloride) is applied or sprayed onto the plant. This is how we proceed.

Here, to give an example, 40 y of a chlorinated hydrocarbon containing methylene chloride as a main component, 22 y of his(triazinylamino)stilbenzine sulfonic acid derivative (type I compound) used as an optical brightener, and 1000 y of water. By applying or spraying a mixture of these on plants to remove or reduce tree oil, and then applying the plant preservation liquid of the present invention, the plant preservation liquid can be reliably applied to plants that have a lot of tree oil. It is.

Next, the present invention will be explained based on specific examples and comparative examples using pink carnations.

〔Example〕

A mixture of 3 kg of vinyl acetate emulsion adhesive, 1.7 kg of calcium sulfate used as a coagulant, and white fine particles of yellow coloring was applied to cut pink carnation flowers to notice changes in color and shape. When examined, it was found that even after 12 days had passed, the carnation's color did not change and its shape did not wilt, maintaining its original shape.Furthermore, the surface of the carnation did not become shiny, exhibiting the natural surface condition of a carnation.

[Comparative example]

A mixture of 3KFI vinyl acetate emulsion adhesive, 1.7Kg of calcium sulfate used as a coagulant, 1.6 hours of water, and pink colorant was applied to cut pink carnation flowers to determine the color and shape. When I investigated the changes, I found that the color did not change and the shape did not wilt even after 12 days had passed, but there was a shiny sticky glue on the surface of the carnation, which looked different from the natural surface of the carnation. The surface condition was as follows.

As is clear from the above Examples and Comparative Examples, the product of the present invention mixed with white fine particles does not have a bright appearance on the surface of plants.
Seven was able to confirm that the glue did not stick to the glue when it was closed, allowing the natural surface of the plant to appear.

By the way, when using white fine particles as fine particles, it is better to mix a coloring agent with them than using fine particles of other colors, so that the color that is intended to be expressed by the coloring agent on the surface does not become dirty.

In addition, in the case of a white plant preservation liquid, it is possible to use white paint as a coloring agent, but for example, fluorescent brighteners [such as his(triazinyl triazine)] stilbenzine sulfonic acid derivatives (type compound)] can be used. May be used. To give an example of this case, mix Kg of vinyl acetate emulsion adhesive to make the first liquid, and 300cc of this first liquid, thoroughly dissolve 1y- fluorescent whitening agent with a small amount of water. Mix to make a white plant preservation solution.

By the way, when the plant preservation liquid of the present invention is applied to plants,
Depending on the type of plant, the surface will dry in about 30 minutes, so you can use it as is as a fresh flower or as an accessory.
However, it takes about two weeks to completely dry naturally.

By the way, the original F! mentioned above! When using the A plant preservation solution, the formulation of each component to be mixed into the plant preservation solution is not limited to the above-mentioned formulation, but can be changed as appropriate depending on the type of plant, etc. For example, if you use too much glue, the result will be hard, but if you use too much glue, the flowers and leaves will harden with wrinkles, making them look different from fresh flowers, and the result will be hard. If the amount is too small, the shape retention effect of flowers, leaves, and stems will be poor. Plants used in the present invention include not only plants with low water content such as gypsophila, snow willow, 12-crystal grass, asparagus, and statice, but also plants with low water content such as chrysanthemums, roses, carnations, lilies, sunflowers, tulips, hydrangeas, and daffodils. It can be applied to various trees such as those with a lot of foliage, or trees such as plums, peaches, cherry blossoms, pine trees, camellias, and azaleas. Of course, it can also be applied to things other than those shown in the above example. For plants with low water content, it is only necessary to apply the plant preservation solution once or twice.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the first aspect of the present invention, since it is a plant preservation liquid made by mixing water, an adhesive, a coagulant, white fine particles, and a coloring agent as described above, it is sprayed on plants. By applying it by coating or soaking it in, the plant itself is coagulated by the coagulant, and the shape of the flowers, leaves, and stems of the plant can be maintained for a long time by the adhesive, and it can be made into any color by using the coloring agent. In addition, the fine particles can be attached to the surface of the plant and eliminate the shiny feeling caused by adhesive, making it the same as the surface of a natural plant.Furthermore, the fine particles are white in color. Therefore, when coloring is mixed with a colorant other than white, the color does not become dirty.
In the invention, a plant preservation liquid containing water, an adhesive, a coagulant, white fine particles, and a coloring agent is applied to cut plants such as cut flowers, cut grass, and cut trees, so the coagulant This allows the plant itself to coagulate and retain its shape, and the adhesive penetrates into the plant and hardens, creating a film on the surface.
It can retain the shape of flowers, leaves, stems, etc. of cut plants, keeping them in a fresh-like shape.Furthermore, when the fine particles adhere to the surface of the plant, the adhesive will cause "N shiny" and ooze. It can be made to look like the surface of a natural plant, and can be made into any color by adding a coloring agent.For example, if the coloring agent is the same as the color of raw meat, It can retain its raw color for a long period of time, and if the coloring agent is different from the raw color, it is possible to obtain dried plants with any color different from the raw color. It is something.

In addition, when a fluorescent brightener is mixed into the plant preservation solution of the present invention, the natural luster of the plant can be brought out.
