Description

Kneadable Elastic Wax

The present invention relates to a kneadable elastic wax, in particular to a kneadable elastic wax at room temperature.

Generally, when a traditional candle is heated at an appropriate temperature, it will melt from a solid to a liquid. Adding dyes to the wax liquid for dyeing and matching various containers or molds can make candles with various designs. However, traditional shaped candles are hard and solid at room temperature, and do not have elasticity and softness.

As we all know, traditional candles are usually made of paraffin, which will produce smoke when burning, which will pollute the environment and cause harm to the human body after inhalation; therefore, people began to use a non-toxic and no smoke pollution during combustion, Beeswax, which helps to purify the air, is used as the raw material of the candle.

Beeswax is a fatty substance secreted by the wax glands of bees. Its molecular formula is C ₁₅ H ₃₁ COOC ₃₀ H ₆₁ . Its main components include palmitate, palmitoleate, hydroxypalmitate and Long-chain fatty alcohols; the melting point of beeswax is about 62~64°C. When the temperature rises to about 85°C, the color of beeswax will change, so it is not recommended to use high temperature to heat beeswax; however, beeswax from different sources The color change temperature is not the same, but almost all of them will change color above 100°C, so it is not suitable to heat the beeswax above 100°C to melt. Beeswax is a kind of white wax made of yellow-brown plain wax with a special taste through the process of sun drying or decolorization. It is not easy to make ordinary candles with this wax, so it will be refined together with paraffin or other artificial waxes. Higher wax is called refined beeswax, which is also more commonly used to make candles.

In terms of the characteristics of unrefined beeswax, when the wax is completely cooled and solidified, the texture is very hard and will break after being bent; but when the wax is in a state of residual heat temperature, it is not easy to break when bent, that is, unrefined beeswax is in a state of residual temperature Still retains elasticity and softness.

Jelly candles are transparent candles made by adding thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber to liquid paraffin and mixing and solidifying. Thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber is polymerized by styrene and butadiene in a specific ratio, such as 70 parts by weight of styrene and 30 parts by weight of butadiene are polymerized; there are also jelly candles made of mineral oil and a little resin; because of their soft texture and elasticity, they are called jelly wax and gel wax. But its disadvantage is that when the jelly wax burns, the burning speed of the jelly wax itself will be different from that of the interior decoration material or modeling wax block. The burning of the wick may cause the jelly wax to deform, and the jelly wax itself contains paraffin and rubber. When burning, it will produce toxic fumes, which will cause harm to the human body after inhalation.

To sum up, it is necessary to develop an elastic wax that is still elastic and kneadable at room temperature after it is fully cured. It breaks through the limitations of designing candles. It does not need to be heated every time it is made, and new creations can be made immediately and safely. Taste.

In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned general traditional candles and jelly candles, and highlight the advantages of candles made of beeswax and jelly candles, the present invention provides a novel elastic wax that can be kneaded, which is added to unrefined beeswax Add a specific proportion of jelly wax to enhance the elasticity and softness of unrefined beeswax, so that the kneadable elastic wax can have the required elasticity and softness at room temperature without depending on temperature, and can be used The clay-like texture can be made without molds and without heating, and the desired shape can be made with only hands or tools; wherein, the room temperature generally refers to about 18~25°C, but is not limited thereto , the room temperature may be lower or higher due to the seasonal relationship, so the room temperature should generally refer to the ambient temperature, that is, it is called room temperature without special heating.

In addition, the kneadable elastic wax can adjust the elasticity and softness of the unrefined beeswax by adjusting the content of the added jelly wax, so as to prepare wax materials with different elasticity and softness; according to the kneadable elastic wax The difference in elasticity and softness can be extended and applied to a variety of works, such as using elastic wax that can be kneaded and pressed into thin sheets to make it used in flower crafts, or pressed into thin sheets and wrapped in ordinary candles Make the appearance of the wrapping paper on it.

Furthermore, the kneadable elastic wax can also be used in various forms and purposes. For example, the kneadable elastic wax is similar to clay, and it can be used as children's art work materials, so that children When making candles, they can knead the desired shape according to their ideas to make different works, enjoy the fun of making candles; and because there is no need to heat and melt to make, children can use the kneadable elasticity more safely wax.

The kneadable elastic wax provided by the present invention is composed of unrefined beeswax and jelly wax; wherein, based on the weight of the kneadable elastic wax, the weight percentage of unrefined beeswax in the kneadable elastic wax It is 70~97 wt%, and the weight percentage of jelly wax in kneadable elastic wax is 3~30 wt%. The higher the content of jelly wax added to the elastic wax that can be kneaded, the better its elasticity and softness. The content of jelly wax can be adjusted according to the needs of the products to be manufactured, and the color can be added according to the needs. color.

The above-mentioned jelly wax is made by adding thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber to liquid paraffin, and thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber is copolymerized from styrene and butadiene. The amount of rubber added is about 4~12g, while thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber is copolymerized by 70 parts by weight of styrene and 30 parts by weight of butadiene.

The manufacture method of the elastic wax that can be kneaded comprises the following steps:

Slowly heat and melt unrefined beeswax at a temperature lower than 100°C;

Add the jelly wax to the unrefined beeswax in proportion, and stir until the jelly wax completely melts into liquid;

Stir unrefined beeswax and jelly wax until completely mixed to form a mixed wax liquid;

Divide the required amount of mixed wax liquid into a paper cup, and add coloring material to adjust to the desired color;

Pour the mixed wax liquid that has been added with coloring materials into the mold and wait for it to solidify;

The elastic wax that can be kneaded can be obtained after the mixed wax liquid is completely solidified.

To sum up, by adjusting the content of jelly wax, the kneadable elastic wax can have different elasticity and softness, and it can have the properties similar to clay at room temperature, and can be arbitrarily kneaded to form the desired appearance It also overcomes the disadvantage that when beeswax is generally used as a candle material, the solidified and hardened beeswax needs to be re-melted to make candles, and it also improves the disadvantage that jelly wax will produce harmful smoke to the human body, providing users with more safety and Easy to use kneadable elastic wax.

Example 1

Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a flow chart for the preparation of the kneadable elastic wax of the present invention, the manufacturing method of the kneadable elastic wax comprises the following steps:

Step S1: Slowly heat and melt the unrefined beeswax at a temperature lower than 100°C; the content of the unrefined beeswax is 70-97 wt% based on the weight of elastic wax that can be kneaded; preferably, Heating the unrefined beeswax at a temperature lower than 85° C. can prevent discoloration of the unrefined beeswax.

When the content of the unrefined beeswax is lower than 70 wt%, it has the disadvantage of being too soft and sticky, and when the content is higher than 97 wt%, it has the disadvantage of insufficient elasticity; therefore, the content of the unrefined beeswax is 70 wt%. ~97 wt% has the advantages of better kneadability, improved elasticity and low stickiness.

Step S2: Add the jelly wax to the unrefined beeswax in proportion, and stir until the jelly wax is completely melted into liquid; the content of the jelly wax is 3-30 wt% based on the weight of the kneadable elastic wax.

When the content of the jelly wax is less than 3 wt%, it has the disadvantage of insufficient elasticity, and when the content is higher than 30 wt%, it has the disadvantage of being too soft and sticky; therefore, the content of the jelly wax is between 3 and 30 wt%. Wt% has better kneadability, improved elasticity and low sticky feeling.

Step S3: Stir the unrefined beeswax and jelly wax until they are completely mixed to form a mixed wax liquid; complete mixing can make the prepared elastic wax even in elasticity and softness, and prevent the local elasticity and softness of the elastic wax from being too high or too low , resulting in difficulty in shaping during use.

Step S4: Divide the required amount of the mixed wax liquid into a paper cup, and add coloring material to adjust to the desired color; the type of coloring material used is not limited, as long as the coloring material that can make the elastic wax prepared can be completely colored That’s enough, but when using color blocks made of paraffin wax for coloring, the amount of color blocks added should not exceed 10% of the total amount of wax.

Step S5: Pour the mixed wax liquid that has been added with coloring materials into the mold and wait for it to solidify; in order to improve the softness of the elastic wax, it is better to use a mold with a wide and flat bottom surface (thickness 0.5~0.8cm).

Step S6: After the mixed wax liquid is completely solidified, the kneadable elastic wax can be obtained; the kneadable elastic wax can be cut and packaged according to the desired shape, for example, it can be made into various color swatches for convenient use, or can be Compressed into thin sheets and subpackaged, so that users can take the required amount and knead it into the desired shape.
