Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of decompression toys, specifically to the technical field of A63H33 / 00, and more specifically to a method for preparing decompression brittle clay. Background Technology
[0002] There are many types of clay toys available on the market, including crystal clay, bubble wrap, pearlescent clay, and modeling clay. In recent years, a type of stress-relieving clay with a crisp outer shell and a soft interior has also appeared on the market. However, in pursuit of the stress-relieving effect of the outer shell, these stress-relieving clay toys often neglect the quality of the clay inside, resulting in problems such as stickiness, easy breakage, and hydration.
[0003] There are many existing methods for preparing clay toys. Chinese patent CN111393090A discloses a method for preparing non-toxic crystal clay, which involves melting ultra-light clay in hot water to obtain a clay solution, then adding glue, baking soda, pigments, etc., and stirring until homogeneous to obtain non-toxic crystal clay. Chinese patent CN111870972A discloses a method for preparing foaming adhesive, which involves mixing glue and additives in a volume ratio of 1:(1-1.5) and allowing it to stand at 25°C to obtain the foaming adhesive. These methods are too simplistic and offer limited guidance on controlling specific conditions during the preparation process to obtain clay toys with good stability and resistance to hydration. Furthermore, they offer limited guidance on the preparation methods for the recently emerging brittle clay. Therefore, the applicant proposes a method for preparing decompressed brittle clay. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention proposes a method for preparing decompression brittle clay, comprising the following steps:
[0005] (1) Preparation of adhesive emulsion: Add deionized water and adhesive to an emulsification pot, heat up to completely dissolve, cool to room temperature, then add humectant and preservative, and stir to make adhesive emulsion;
[0006] (2) Pour the above adhesive emulsion into a kneader, start stirring, add crosslinking agent and stir evenly, then slowly add functional additives, continue stirring and discharge to obtain clay;
[0007] (3) The clay is shaped and the surface of the clay is treated with a film-forming agent to form a film layer. After drying, the crispy skin adhesive of the present invention is obtained.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature is raised to 70-95°C in step (1) to complete the dissolution.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive is selected from at least one of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl acetate, guar gum, starch, xanthan gum, carrageenan, sodium alginate, and polysiloxane.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive is polyvinyl alcohol; more preferably, the degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol is 1700-2500; even more preferably, the degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol is 1700-1800.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the deionized water to the adhesive is (3-9):1.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the humectant to the crosslinking agent is (5-20):1.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the humectant to the crosslinking agent is (10-15):1.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the crosslinking agent is an aqueous solution of borax, wherein the mass concentration of borax in the aqueous solution is 2 wt%.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the humectant is glycerin and polyethylene glycol. More preferably, the mass ratio of glycerin to polyethylene glycol is 3:4.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the polyethylene glycol is selected from at least one of polyethylene glycol 200, polyethylene glycol 400, polyethylene glycol 600, polyethylene glycol 800, and polyethylene glycol 1000. More preferably, the polyethylene glycol is selected from polyethylene glycol 400.
[0017] During the experiment, the applicant found that when the mass ratio of humectant to crosslinking agent was (10-15):1, and the humectant was polyethylene glycol and glycerin, and the crosslinking agent was borax aqueous solution, the prepared putty was not easy to hydrate, nor was it easy to stick or break. The applicant speculated that the possible reason was that the addition of glycerin and polyethylene glycol increased the crosslinking density of the putty and improved the bonding strength. However, if too much glycerin and polyethylene glycol were added, it would cause the putty to become soft and mushy, reduce the tensile strength of the putty, reduce the elongation at break of the putty, and increase the stickiness of the putty.
[0018] In this application, the type of preservative added is not specifically limited, but preferably it can be phenoxyethanol.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the functional additives are added in batches in step (2), and each batch of functional additives needs to be stirred for 10-15 minutes.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the functional additive is selected from at least one of fillers and pigments.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the filler is selected from at least one of silica, quartz sand, silica powder, diatomaceous earth, talc, foamed microspheres, and calcium carbonate.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the filler is silica, and the loose packing density of the silica is 0.1-0.15 g / cm³. 3 .
[0023] In this application, the types of pigments are not specifically limited, including but not limited to carmine, iron oxide, carbon black, brilliant blue, lemon yellow, realgar, sodalite, azurite, malachite, and hedonicite.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the functional additive is talc or foamed microspheres.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the specific process for adding the functional additive in batches is as follows:
[0026] S1. Add 1 / 2 volume of the functional additive to the kneader and stir for 15 minutes;
[0027] S2. Add 1 / 4 volume of the functional additive to the kneader and stir for 10 minutes;
[0028] S3. Add 1 / 4 volume of the functional additive to the kneader and stir for 10 minutes.
[0029] During the experiment, the applicant discovered that the method of adding functional additives is closely related to the stability of the putty, especially when adding additives with a loose bulk density of 0.1-0.15 g / cm³. 3 The applicant speculates that the silica has a large number of hydroxyl groups on its surface, which tend to agglomerate within the cross-linked putty. Adding it in batches can ensure that the silica is evenly dispersed within the putty, avoiding the presence of agglomerated particles, thus improving the stability and quality of the putty.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the film thickness formed after treatment with the film-forming agent in step (3) is 0.1-1 mm.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the film-forming agent is selected from at least one of paraffin wax, beeswax, palm wax, gypsum aqueous solution, epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, acrylic resin, epoxy-modified acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, and modified polyurethane resin.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the drying method in step (3) is selected from natural drying, low-temperature air drying, and ultraviolet curing.
[0033] During the experiment, the applicant discovered that paraffin wax, beeswax, palm wax, gypsum aqueous solution, epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, acrylic resin, epoxy-modified acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, and modified polyurethane resin can all be used as film-forming agents for the outer shell of the putty. However, different types of shell-forming agents have different drying methods, and the appearance of the shell formed after the film-forming agent has been cured is significantly different. Paraffin wax, beeswax, palm wax, and other materials can form a film after being coated and cooled to room temperature. The shell formed after curing is smooth, delicate, easy to crush, and has a relatively thick film layer. Epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, and polyurethane resin can be cured at room temperature after being coated. The shell formed after epoxy-modified acrylic resin and acrylic resin are cured by ultraviolet light is smooth, has a strong gloss, a thin film layer, and makes a crisper sound when crushed than the shell formed by materials such as paraffin wax.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] The crispy clay preparation process proposed in this invention controls the amount of wetting agent and crosslinking agent, and combines it with the batch addition of functional additives to improve the stability of the prepared clay and reduce the hydration phenomenon. The prepared crispy clay is not sticky and has a high crosslinking density, which improves the elongation at break. The clay is not easy to break under stress and has good stability and toughness. At the same time, it has a smooth, easy-to-crush, and crisp clay shell. The shell makes a crisp sound when crushed, which can be used for decompression. Detailed Implementation
