Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new materials, and in particular to a new material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the material of exploration toys such as treasure hunts is mainly gypsum; this material is easy to produce dust during the treasure hunt exploration process, and the dust is very easy to spread in the air or adhere to the consumers, increasing the risk of affecting the health of consumers. Moreover, this material cannot be effectively recycled or reused after use, which is easy to cause environmental pollution. It will be very meaningful to create an environmentally friendly and recyclable new material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a new material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys, which is dust-free, fluffy, moderately soft and hard, easy to scrape, recyclable, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and a preparation method thereof.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a new material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys, characterized in that it is composed of the following components in mass percentage: 20% to 22.5% liquid paraffin, 2.5% to 5% thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber, 70%-72% beeswax, 0.5% to 1% pigment, 0.5% to 1% flavor, and 1% to 2% foaming agent.

[0005] The thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber is generally made of styrene / butadiene 70 / 30, and its technical indicators are: relative density 0.91, hardness 72, and temperature between 105 and 115°C.

[0006] The beeswax has a melting point of 60-64°C and an oil content of 1%, and is usually used in the fields of lipsticks and lip glosses, and is used as the main material in the present invention.

[0007] The liquid paraffin is usually selected as brand 100#, and is used in the fields of hair oil, skin care oil, lipstick, etc. as a solvent.

[0008] The pigment is used to adjust the color brightness of the material and is a conventional pigment.

[0009] The flavor is used to adjust the odor intensity of the material and is a conventional flavor.

[0010] The main component of the foaming agent can be any one of disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium carbonate, citric acid, or a mixture thereof in any mass ratio, which is used to adjust the fluffiness of the material.

[0011] The new material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys described in the present invention uses beeswax as the main raw material, which is then combined with liquid paraffin, thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber, and a foaming agent in a specific mass ratio, and is matched with pigments and flavors as auxiliary materials. It has the advantages of no dust hazard, being fluffy and having moderate hardness and softness, being easy to scrape, being recyclable, and being environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a novel material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys, which is characterized by adopting the following steps: A. Weigh 20% to 22.5% liquid paraffin, 2.5% to 5% thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber, 70% to 72% beeswax, 0.5% to 1% pigment, 0.5% to 1% flavor, and 1% to 2% foaming agent according to the following mass percentages, and set aside; B. heating the liquid paraffin to 110° C., melting it into a liquid state at a constant temperature, then adding the thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber, maintaining the temperature at 110° C., and stirring and mixing the mixture to obtain a paraffin mixture; C. Add the beeswax to the paraffin mixture obtained in step B, and continue stirring at 110° C. until the beeswax is completely melted into a liquid state and fully blended with the paraffin mixture; then add the pigment and flavor, and continue stirring at a constant temperature of 110° C. for another 5 minutes to obtain a premixed solution; D. Add the foaming agent to the premixed liquid obtained in step C, stir at a constant temperature of 110° C. for 5 minutes, then pour into a suitable container or mold, cool to room temperature, and take out to obtain a new material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys.

[0013] The hardness of the new material suitable for manufacturing exploration toys is 30-45 degrees on Shore A. At a thickness of 1 cm, the 90-degree vertical shear force is 0.2-0.3 kg.f, and the oblique 45-degree scraping force is 0.2-0.3 kg.f, which is very suitable as a material for manufacturing exploration toys.

[0014] When put into a container, it can be sold as a new type of material suitable for making exploration toys; when put into a toy mold, an exploration toy can be obtained.

[0015] The method of the present invention is convenient to obtain materials, which are all common materials, are affordable, have a simple preparation process, and the obtained materials can be recycled and reused.

[0016] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, which is conducive to the innovative development of the exploration toy material industry. The materials used in the present invention are all commercially available materials, which can be purchased in large quantities or in small quantities at a moderate price. The preparation process is simple. It is only necessary to take the materials according to different weight percentages according to the required characteristics of the exploration toys, fully stir and mix them while maintaining a constant temperature, pour the stirred and mixed solution into a suitable container or mold, and take it out after cooling to room temperature to obtain an exploration toy or a new material suitable for making exploration toys. The new material suitable for making exploration toys described in the present invention has excellent performance, no dust hazard, is fluffy, and has moderate hardness and softness, is easy to scrape and dig, and can be recycled. It has opened up a new path for the innovative application of traditional exploration toy materials. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
