1 is a flow chart showing a method for manufacturing catnip or matatabi silicon according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the method for manufacturing catnip or matatabi silicone may include a material preparation step (S100), a blending step (S200), and a aging step (S300).

Hereinafter, each step of the catnip or matatabi silicon manufacturing method will be described in more detail.

Material preparation step (S100)

In order to manufacture catnip or matatabi silicone according to an embodiment of the present invention, materials are first prepared, and one of the materials may include catnip or matatabi.

Here, catnip contains oil called nepetalactone, and when a cat smells nepetalactone, a special receptor that detects a chemical substance is stimulated to play a role in giving happiness to the cat, and at the same time increasing the cat's appetite, It can help promote digestion, improve health, and induce sound sleep. Matatabi also has the same efficacy as catnip.

First, to prepare catnip silicone, 65 to 75 parts by weight of medium hardness silicone, 25 to 35 parts by weight of high tensile silicone, 1 to 3 parts by weight of white pigment, 2 to 5 parts by weight of catnip, and 1 to 3 parts by weight of platinum promoter are prepared. can

Here, the hardness of silicone is defined as the degree to which the surface resists penetration of an indentor of a specified size under a specified load. Medium-hardness silicone means silicone with a hardness of 33 to 66, silicone with low hardness means silicone with a hardness of 0 to 32, and silicone with high hardness means silicone with a hardness of 67 to 100. Here, the standard for measuring silicon hardness is Shore hardness (Shore A), which may have a value between 0 (very soft case) and 100 (hard case).

In the present invention, the hardness of the medium-hardness silicone material may be preferably 38 to 42.

In addition, the tensile strength of the high tensile silicone of the present invention may be 60 to 100 Kgf/m 2 . Preferably, the tensile strength of the high tensile silicone of the present invention may be 70 to 80 Kgf/m 2 .

According to the present invention, by using medium-hardness silicone when manufacturing catnip silicone, it is possible to facilitate molding when manufacturing cat products using catnip silicone.

In addition, the tensile properties of silicon mean tensile strength, and the tensile strength means force or stress at which a standard specimen is cut when it is pulled at a constant speed.

According to the present invention, by using high-tensile silicone when manufacturing catnip silicone, it is possible to manufacture a product with increased durability and strong tensile strength when manufacturing cat products using catnip silicone.

In addition, the white pigment is a pigment used to make catnip silicone white or to change color by mixing with colored pigments. According to the present invention, when manufacturing cat products using catnip silicone, it is possible to easily match the color required by the product.

In addition, the platinum accelerator may function as a curing accelerator during the production of catnip silicone.

In addition, catnip can be used as a herb belonging to the mint family, whose origin is Europe, North America, West Asia, and China. In addition, in the case of catnip, dried catnip may be pulverized and used, and an example of the particle size of the powder may be a size similar to that of wheat flour.

On the other hand, in the present invention, matatabi can be used instead of catnip, and to prepare matatabi silicone, 65 to 75 parts by weight of medium hardness silicone, 25 to 35 parts by weight of high tensile silicone, 1 to 3 parts by weight of white pigment, matata 2 to 5 parts by weight of ttabi, 1 to 3 parts by weight of platinum accelerator can be prepared.

That is, the mixing ratio of the remaining ingredients except for matatabi may be the same, and matatabi may be added instead of catnip.

Here, the added matatabi may use a split form prepared by grinding wood, which is a raw material, and for example, the particle size of the matatabi powder may be in a range similar to wheat flour.

Meanwhile, appearance and hardness checks may be performed on each of the prepared materials.

In the appearance check process, it is possible to select problematic materials through the appearance inspection of each material. Here, the inspection may include visual inspection (sample) and inspection through raw material property test reports.

In addition, in the hardness check process, it is possible to select problematic materials through the hardness test of each material. Here, the hardness check can check the hardness after producing the sheet plate sample when the material is received.

Blending step (S200)

Prepare 65 to 75 parts by weight of medium-hardness silicone, 25 to 35 parts by weight of high tensile silicone, 1 to 3 parts by weight of white pigment, 2 to 5 parts by weight of catnip (or matatabi), and 1 to 3 parts by weight of platinum accelerator. It can be put in and the ingredients can be blended according to the blending temperature and blending time of predetermined conditions.

Here, more specifically describing the steps for blending each material, first, 65 to 75 parts by weight of medium-hardness silicone is firstly blended, 25 to 35 parts by weight of high tensile silicone is added, and then secondarily blended, and 1 to 75 parts by weight of white pigment are added. 3 parts by weight is added, followed by 3rd mixing, 2 to 5 parts by weight of catnip (or matatabi) is added, 4th mixing is added, and 1 to 3 parts by weight of platinum accelerator is added, followed by 5th mixing.

Here, the blending temperature condition may be a temperature of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. And, the mixing time condition may be 20 to 30 minutes.

On the other hand, the addition amount of additives can be adjusted by checking the hardness, color and smell of the mixture created in the process of mixing the materials.

For example, if the color of the formulation is not the desired color, an additional white pigment may be added to the formulation.

This blending process (S200) may be performed using a mixer.

Ripening step (S300)

In the aging step (S300), aging of the blend may be performed at room temperature for 10 to 14 hours. Here, the humidity in the ripening step (S300) may be 50 to 70%. Here, the aging temperature condition may be a temperature of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

The maturation step (S300) may be performed in a maturation room, and catnip or matatabi silicon may be produced through maturation.

On the other hand, the step of cutting the blend before the aging step (S300) and the step of plastic packaging the cut blend may be further included.

Here, the cutting step may mean cutting the compound according to the molding conditions of the product to be manufactured.

In addition, the step of wrapping the plastic means to wrap the outer surface of the compound with vinyl, and the plastic-wrapped compound may be aged in a maturation room.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the cat product manufacturing method may include a pressing step (S400), a finishing and shipping inspection step (S500), and a packaging step (S600).

Press step (S400)

Specifically, the prepared catnip or matatabi silicone may be put into a press machine, press conditions may be set, and then a press process may be performed.

Here, the press conditions may include at least one of mold top and bottom temperature, molding time, mechanical pressure, and raw material input weight. In addition, the set value of the press conditions may be set to different values depending on the type of cat product to be manufactured.

According to this pressing step (S300), cat products can be manufactured from catnip or matatabi silicone.

Finishing and shipment inspection step (S500)

Specifically, a finishing process may be performed to remove a part irrelevant to the original shape from the product manufactured through the press step (S300).

Thereafter, the outgoing inspection process may be performed by checking the appearance, dimensions, and hardness of the manufactured product.

Here, the inspection process may be performed using a measuring device such as a magnifying glass or a durometer, or may be performed through visual inspection.

Packing step (S600)

Specifically, the packaging step (S600) may refer to a process of packaging cat products for which shipment inspection has been completed.

On the other hand, cat products using catnip or matatabi silicone can be manufactured according to the above-described process. Here, the manufactured cat products can be any product based on silicon, and for example, hair brushes, toothbrushes, cat toys (ex. balls, fishing rods), cat tableware products (water bowls, rice bowls, water purifiers, cat glasses) ), flower pots, silicone cushions, patches, etc.

The catnip or matatabi silicone prepared according to the series of steps of the present invention described above can maintain the duration of the scent and the strength of the scent at an optimal intensity for a long time even though it is in the form of silicone, and has an intensity suitable for grooming of cats. You can provide catnip silicone that is not a problem even if the cat licks it.

Here, grooming may include a concept that includes a person grooming a cat's body (hair, teeth, claws, etc.) and a cat directly rubbing or rubbing the body with a product.

Example 1

700 g of medium hardness silicone, 300 g of high tensile silicone, 20 g of white pigment, 30 g of catnip, and 15 g of platinum promoter were prepared. And, first, 700g of medium-hardness silicone is firstly mixed, 300g of high tensile silicone is added, then 2ndly mixed, 20g of white pigment is added, then 3rdly mixed, 30g of catnip is added, 4thly mixed, and platinum After adding 15 g of the accelerator, it was mixed 5 times. The mixing time was 25 minutes, and the mixing temperature was carried out at 25 degrees.

Next, the mixture was placed in a room temperature aging room at 60% humidity and 25 degrees Celsius, and the mixture was aged for 12 hours to prepare catnip silicone.

Comparative Example 1

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that high-hardness silicone rather than medium-hardness silicone was used in the mixing ratio.

Comparative Example 2

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that low hardness silicone was used instead of medium hardness silicone in the mixing ratio.

Comparative Example 3

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, but the mixing ratio was 800 g of medium hardness silicone and 200 g of high tensile silicone.

Comparative Example 4

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, but 20 g of catnip was added.

Comparative Example 5

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, but 50 g of catnip was added.

Comparative Example 6

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, but the mixing temperature was set to 40 degrees.

Comparative Example 7

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, but the aging temperature was set to 32 degrees and the aging time was set to 15 hours.

Comparative Example 8

Catnip silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, but the aging process was excluded.

Comparative Example 9

Silicone was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, but 30 g of matatabi was added instead of 30g of catnip to prepare matatabi silicone.

Experiment 1

Based on the duration of the scent of the catnip silicone or matatabi silicone prepared according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9, the strength of the scent, mold suitability, and cat preference, the test was conducted on a scale of 1 to 10 points. The results obtained were shown in Table 1 below.

The duration of the fragrance and the strength of the fragrance were measured through an odor measurer and/or a sensory test. The longer the duration of the scent, the higher the score, and the stronger the intensity of the scent, the higher the score.

In addition, the molding suitability was measured through a sensory test on the ease of molding and the appearance of the molded product in the process of manufacturing cat products by molding catnip silicone or matatabi silicone. In the molding process of manufacturing cat products by molding catnip silicone or matatabi silicone, there were cases where the product was crushed. The ease of molding was evaluated by the degree of grinding, and the more severe the grinding, the lower score was given. In relation to the appearance of the molded product, the higher the number of bubbles in the molded product, the higher the score.

In addition, cat acceptability was measured based on cats using cat products manufactured using catnip silicone or matatabi silicone.

For the cat's liking, the longer the cat's play time and the shorter the cat's play time, the higher the score.

In addition, the cat's preference degree reflected the condition of the cat and the product after playing with the cat product (eg, after the cat bites or holds it in its mouth). For example, after playing with a cat product, the more powder of the product was applied to the cat, the lower score was assigned, and the more the product was crushed after playing with the cat product, the lower score was assigned.

In particular, notable problems occurred in some of the comparative examples, which are as follows.

As in Comparative Example 4, when 20 g of catnip was added, the duration of the scent and the intensity of the scent were lowered compared to Example 1, and the cat's preference decreased.

In addition, as in Comparative Example 5, when 50 g of catnip was added, the duration and intensity of the fragrance were higher than those of Example 1, but the prepared silicone was well pulverized during the molding process, greatly reducing molding suitability.

As in Comparative Example 6, when the mixing temperature was increased to 40 degrees, curing of the raw material occurred due to the influence of the platinum accelerator during the mixing process, and accordingly, the molding suitability and the cat's preference were greatly reduced.

In addition, as in Comparative Example 7, when the temperature was increased to 32 degrees and the aging time was extended to 15 hours during the aging process, hardening of the raw material occurred during the aging process, greatly reducing molding suitability and cat preference.

In addition, as in Comparative Example 8, when the aging process was excluded, air bubbles were generated in the silicone during molding, which reduced molding suitability and cat preference, and the duration of the scent and the intensity of the scent were reduced due to the effect of the bubbles.

However, as can be seen in Table 1, the catnip silicone or matatabi silicone prepared according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 9 of the present invention is prepared by combining the materials in a predetermined ratio, mixing under specific temperature and time conditions, and aging By manufacturing, compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 8, it can be seen that a high score of 9.5 or higher was obtained in terms of the overall score of the experimental results, and compared to Comparative Examples, it was confirmed that the fragrance duration, the strength of the fragrance, the molding suitability, and the excellent evaluation evenly in terms of cat preference I was able to confirm what I received.
