Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] To provide a bird and animal repellent material, a bird and animal repellent molding material, and a method for using the same, which can protect assets such as products and buildings from damage caused by birds and animals and also protect assets such as products and buildings and human health from pollution caused by the droppings of birds and animals. [Background technology]

[0002] This invention relates to a bird and animal repellent molding material developed based on a new concept. Common animals such as weasels, raccoon dogs, palm civets, rabbits, rats, cats, and dogs can become harmful to our lives and property depending on their environment and behavior. Birds such as pigeons, crows, starlings, and sparrows can also infest agricultural crops and other assets, causing damage and losses by scattering their droppings. Various repellent measures have been implemented to prevent the damage caused by these birds and animals.

[0003] Repellent measures include those that appeal to the sight, hearing, taste, and smell of birds and animals. Visual appeals include using the shape or image of the eyes of the bird or animal's natural enemy, or colors that birds and animals dislike. Auditory appeals include loud gunshots, the cries of natural enemies, and the use of special sound waves. Taste appeals include applying or sprinkling spicy or bitter substances such as chili peppers, white pepper, menthol, wasabi, and persimmon tannins, which birds and animals dislike when licked or eaten. Olfactory appeals include applying or sprinkling chemicals that emit odors that birds and animals dislike.

[0004] Of all birds and animals, pigeons and crows cause the most damage, and there are various ways to prevent them. Pigeons, in particular, often enter relatively large buildings such as factories, build nests, and settle there, resulting in constant droppings. If there are products in the area where the droppings land, they will stain the products and often lose their commercial value. In addition, pigeons and crows fly in and land on balconies and pallet spaces in apartment buildings, and their droppings will get on laundry and soil the balconies.

[0005] One type of bird and animal repellent that appeals to the eye is the use of imitations of aggressive birds of prey or models with realistic depictions of their eyes, but once they realize that these do not cause any harm, they stop running away and are often ineffective. Also, many birds and animals can normally see colors in the ultraviolet range, and one repellent that takes advantage of this is to apply ultraviolet absorbers such as titanium oxide, which has an ultraviolet absorbing effect, to birds and animals, who will visually feel fear towards the strange colors, but once they realize that this does not actually harm them, they will become accustomed to them.

[0006] As an auditory deterrent, loud gunshots or the cries of birds of prey can be used, but these become ineffective once the animals have experienced them several times and become accustomed to the fact that they are harmless.

[0007] Even with repellent measures that appeal to taste or smell, if the birds and animals experience the taste or smell and are put off by it, they will not flee from the area even if they never eat it again, or they will not flee from the area if the smell is simply kept away, so these measures are not sufficient in terms of lasting effectiveness. As such, previous repellent measures have had their pros and cons, and few were able to provide satisfactory results.

[0008] The following patent applications have been filed regarding inventions for bird and animal repellent measures: Although there are some bird and animal repellents molded into tapes or ropes, these inventions rely on chemicals or other substances for their repellent effect, and none of them achieve this effect by relying on the tactile aversion caused by the strong adhesiveness of the molded product. The present invention utilizes this tactile aversion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 1-294601 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-70302 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-331013 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-76502 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-292709 [Patent Document 6] Special Publication No. 2010-524925 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] The present invention differs from these existing repellent methods and provides a more effective repellent method. In other words, the present invention is a repellent measure that appeals to the sense of touch, and is a new method that has never been seen before. It is also a method that can repel insects by utilizing the synergistic effect of touch with taste, smell, or sight. Birds and animals all dislike sticky foreign substances adhering to their feet, claws, or mouths. They usually remove the substances or behave in a way that prevents them from adhering again. Birds and animals sometimes have the habit of removing such foreign substances. They do not leave sticky substances on their feet or claws, and dislike places where such substances accumulate. To put it simply, this invention is a "tactile repellent" that effectively prevents birds and animals from approaching or touching the material again because they are put off by the strong adhesiveness of the molding material. It also provides a method that can keep birds and animals away by combining the tactile sense with the synergistic effects of taste, smell, and sight. The conventional problems that this invention aims to solve are as follows: (1) Although birds and animals dislike it, do not harm them. (2) When you step on them or stop, they get sticky on your feet or hands, which makes them feel uncomfortable and they run away. (3) Easy to install. (4) The tape-like or rope-like bird and animal repellent molding material can be wrapped around objects such as pillars and roadside trees. (5) It is possible to mix in a repellent that acts as a taste repellent, so that effects can be expected in both taste and touch. (6) It is possible to mix in a repellent that acts as an olfactory repelling agent, which is expected to have both olfactory and tactile effects. (7) It is possible to mix in ultraviolet absorbers, which act as a visual repellent, and it is expected to have two effects: visual and tactile. (8) Unlike some gel-type products that are commercially available as a form of repellent, they will not scatter to the surrounding area when touched by birds or animals, or fall from a high place, causing damage or injury to other objects. The present invention can solve all of these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a three-dimensional view showing an example of a rope-shaped bird and animal repellent molding having a core material according to the present invention. [Figure 4] 4 is a cross-sectional view of the rope-shaped bird and animal repellent molding material of FIG. 2 taken along line BB'. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] [Bird and animal repellent] The countermeasure of the present invention is a bird and animal repellent molding material obtained by molding a bird and animal repellent material containing a main component and a filler into a tape, rope, or other shape.

[0015] [Main component] The main component of the bird and animal repellent is not limited to a component that is contained in large amounts in bird and animal repellents, but may be a component that can exhibit adhesiveness in the bird and animal repellent. An olefin polymer is suitable as the main component that can exhibit adhesiveness. Examples of olefin polymers include ethylene homopolymers, propylene homopolymers, propylene-ethylene random copolymers, propylene-ethylene block copolymers, propylene-butene random copolymers, propylene-butene block copolymers, propylene-ethylene-butene random copolymers, propylene-pentene random copolymers, propylene-hexene random copolymers, propylene-octene random copolymers, propylene-ethylene-pentene random copolymers, and propylene-ethylene-hexene random copolymers. Among these, at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymers, propylene homopolymers, propylene-ethylene random copolymers, propylene-ethylene block copolymers, propylene-butene random copolymers, propylene-butene block copolymers, and propylene-ethylene-butene random copolymers is preferred. The content of the main component in the bird and animal repellent is not necessarily the highest, but is 25% by mass to 35% by mass.

[0016] [Filler] The bird and animal repellent of the present invention further contains a filler, which has the effect of adjusting the softness and properties of the bird and animal repellent. The filler contains, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, talc, titanium oxide, mica, alumina, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, etc. Calcium carbonate is inexpensive, and the filler contains at least calcium carbonate. The content of the filler in the bird and animal repellent is 8% by mass to 40% by mass.

[0017] [Subcomponent] Butyl rubber may be added as a secondary component to the bird and animal repellent of the present invention to adjust adhesion. The content of butyl rubber is 25% by mass to 35% by mass.

[0018] [Advanced material] The spread-forming agent not only increases the adhesiveness of the bird and animal repellent material but also softens the resin. Examples of spread-forming agents preferably used in the present invention include polybutene resin and process oil. Polybutene resin is a liquid resin that is highly adhesive in itself and is sufficient to adjust the adhesiveness of bird and animal repellents when it does not contain the secondary ingredient butyl rubber. However, when butyl rubber is contained, a unique adhesiveness can be achieved by adding and mixing process oil in addition to the polybutene resin. When only polybutene resin is used as the spread-adjusting agent, the blending amount of the spread-adjusting agent is preferably 25% to 35% by mass. When both polybutene resin and process oil are used, the blending amount of process oil is preferably 10% to 15% by mass, and the blending amount of polybutene resin is preferably 8% to 12% by mass.

[0019] [Bird and animal repellent] As mentioned above, bird and animal repellents have been used conventionally as bird and animal repellent measures. The bird and animal repellent of the present invention is also a conventionally used one. For example, an olfactory repellent that appeals to the sense of smell may be used. They are mainly used as taste repellents that appeal to the sense of taste, and as ultraviolet absorbers that appeal to the visual sense. As olfactory repellents, conventionally used substances such as essential oils, creosote, methyl salicylate, ethyl salicylate, and mercaptans can be blended. As taste repellents, chili pepper, wasabi, white pepper, menthol, wasabi, persimmon tannin, organic acids, alcohols, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, etc. can be used. There are no particular restrictions on the amount of olfactory repellent and taste repellent added to the bird and animal repellent. They may be added as needed. Furthermore, repellent components that appeal to the visual sense can be, for example, ultraviolet absorbers. Birds can distinguish colors over a wider wavelength range than humans, but when exposed to ultraviolet absorbers, they perceive unusual colors in their eyes, which they dislike. Titanium oxide is a well-known ultraviolet absorber, and other examples include benzophenone and benzotriazole. The amount of ultraviolet absorber to be added to the bird and animal repellent is 0.01% to 4% by mass.

[0020] [others] The bird and animal repellent of the present invention may further contain known additives such as antioxidants and strength-imparting agents, which may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Fiber-based materials are used as strength-imparting agents. Traditionally, natural fiber materials were often used, but crushed synthetic fibers are now used. Adding strength-imparting agents increases the tensile strength of the bird and animal repellent. Because it is prone to deterioration in the presence of oxygen and light, adding an antioxidant can help maintain the viscosity of the bird and animal repellent for a long period of time, thereby extending its lifespan. Amine-based antioxidants and phenol-based antioxidants can be used.

[0021] The synthetic resin strength-imparting material has the function of adjusting the strength of the bird and animal repellent material. Examples include reinforcing synthetic fiber materials, specifically polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyurethane fiber, Kynol fiber, etc. Further, as the reinforcing synthetic fiber, aromatic polyester fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene terephthalate, etc., aliphatic polyester fibers such as polylactic acid, polybutylene succinate, etc., and phenolic resin fibers are preferred.

[0022] The blending amount of the antioxidant is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, and more preferably 0.2 to 1% by mass. The blending amount of the strength imparting agent is preferably 1 to 10% by mass, and more preferably 2 to 5% by mass.

[0023] [Sticky feeling] The bird and animal repellent of the present invention has a probe tack of 0.5 to 6.0 N / 5 mmφ, preferably 1.0 to 5.0 N / 5 mmφ, and more preferably 1.5 to 4.0 N / 5 mmφ, which provides an optimal sticky feel to appeal to the tactile sense of birds and animals. If it is 0.5 N / 5 mmφ or less, the stickiness is weak and the bird and animal extermination effect is not achieved effectively. If it is 6.0 N / 5 mmφ or more, there is a possibility that small birds and animals will not be able to remove from the bird and animal repellent. When the probe tack is within the above range, the viscosity is suitable for appealing to the tactile sense of birds and animals, yet the bird and animal repellent can adhere to a fixed location by utilizing its self-adhesive properties, and it does not peel off from the fixed location as easily as conventional gel products, and does not pollute the environment.

[0024] The "probe tack" in this specification is a test method in accordance with JIS Z0237, in which a Nichiban probe tack tester is used to test the smooth tip of a metal cylindrical probe with a diameter of 5 mm against the surface of the bird and animal repellent at a temperature of 23°C and a relative humidity of 50% by pressing the smooth tip of the metal cylindrical probe with a resistance of 0.98 N / cm 2 (100±1gf / cm 2 ) is applied to adhere the specimen for 1.0±0.1 seconds, and the resistance is measured when the specimen is peeled off at a rate of 10±0.1 mm per second.

[0025] [Penetration] The bird and animal repellent of the present invention has a penetration of more than 110, which makes it difficult to ensure dimensional stability during molding. On the other hand, if the penetration is less than 90, it becomes difficult to convey a sticky feeling, and the bird and animal extermination effect cannot be fully achieved. Therefore, the bird and animal repellent is preferably composed of a penetration of 90 to 110.

[0026] The "penetration" referred to in this specification is a value obtained in accordance with the method described in JIS K2220, in which a quarter cone attached to a consistency meter is dropped into a sample filled in a pot at 25°C, and the value is based on the depth of penetration for 5 seconds.

[0027] [Bird and animal repellent molding material] The method for molding the bird and animal repellent molded material is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are achieved, but for example, the bird and animal repellent material is extruded using an extruder to produce a bird and animal repellent molded material having a rectangular or circular cross section. Because the bird and animal repellent material is molded as is, the entire product has the same adhesiveness and the ability to stretch when stretched.

[0028] The bird and animal repellent molding material of the present invention is a long molding material, and when its cross section is rectangular, the dimensions of the rectangle can be set to various sizes as needed, such as 10 x 10 mm, 15 x 15 mm, 8 x 20 mm, etc., as shown in Table 1 below. When in use, the bird and animal repellent molding material is cut to the required length and can be used as bird and animal repellent tape. In addition, when the cross section is circular, the dimensions of the circle can be set to various sizes as needed, such as 10mm, 12mm, 15mm diameter, etc., as shown in Table 1 below. The protective molding material can be cut to the required length and used as a bird and animal repellent rope. [Table 1]

[0029] Furthermore, because of its strong adhesiveness, a release agent is provided on part or all of the surface of the bird and animal repellent molding to maintain its adhesiveness and to deliver a pure product to consumers. By removing the release agent when in use, the bird and animal repellent molding can be easily installed in the desired location. The release material may be any material that can be removed from the molded bird and animal repellent material, such as release paper, tape, or film coated with a release agent, or release tape or film.

[0030] Fig. 1 is a three-dimensional view showing an example of the tape-shaped bird and animal repellent molding material of the present invention. Its cross-sectional view along line A-A' is shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line A-A' in Fig. 1. From this cross-sectional view, it can be seen that the bird and animal repellent molding material 1 is arranged so that a portion of the long bird and animal repellent material 2 to be molded is wrapped around a release material 3.

[0031] By adjusting the cross-sectional size, the material can be made thinner and molded into a sheet, in addition to tape or rope shapes. Sheets can be stuck to areas where birds and animals tend to gather. It can also be molded into pellets. Pellets of the bird and animal repellent material can be scattered precisely in areas where you want to keep birds and animals away.

[0032] Furthermore, the bird and animal repellent molding may have a resin core material at its center. The core material can be placed in the center of the product by being extruded together with the bird and animal repellent material using an extruder. Examples of bird and animal repellent molding materials with a resin core material can be seen in Figures 3 and 4.

[0033] An example of a rope-shaped bird and animal repellent molding of the present invention is shown in Figure 3. Its cross section along line B-B' is shown in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 4, the rope-shaped bird and animal repellent molding 1 with a core material has a resin core material 4 at the center, and the outer surface of the core material 4 is covered with a bird and animal repellent material 2. Furthermore, a release material 3 is provided on the surface of the bird and animal repellent material 2.

[0034] The core material of the bird and animal repellent molding material can limit stretching when pulled. Also, when using the bird and animal repellent molding material with the core material, the bird and animal repellent molding material is not likely to tear when pasting or wrapping it. It has the characteristic of not polluting the surrounding environment by not scattering or scattering.

[0035] Table 2 shows example dimensions of bird and animal repellent moldings with a resin core material. Various sizes other than the example dimensions in Table 2 can be set as needed. The "Shape" column in Table 2 shows the cross-sectional shape of bird and animal repellent moldings without a release material. The cross-section of the core material has a similar shape to the cross-section of the bird and animal repellent molding material, and if the cross-section of the bird and animal repellent molding material is rectangular, the cross-section of the core material is also rectangular. If the cross-section of the bird and animal repellent molding material is circular, the cross-section of the core material is also circular. [Table 2]

[0036] The resin core may be a foamed resin or a hard resin. If a hard resin core is used, the product will be thicker when compressed, preventing it from collapsing. Furthermore, if a resilient foamed resin core such as a foam is used, the product will be softer and more resilient to the touch, allowing the claws of birds and animals to dig in deeply.

[0037] Commercially available foamed resins can be used. Examples include polypropylene (PP) foamed resins, polyethylene (PE) foamed resins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foamed resins, polystyrene (PS) foamed resins, polyurethane (PUR) foamed resins, and polycarbonate (PC) foamed resins. Similarly, hard resins that can be used include phenolic resin (PF), unsaturated polyester (UP), epoxy resin (EP), and silicone resin (SI).

[0038] [How to use bird and animal repellent molding material] When a release material is available, the release material can be removed and the bird and animal repellent molding material can be stuck to the area of ​​bird and animal activity, that is, the places where birds and animals pass or stop, by utilizing its own adhesiveness. For example, it can be easily installed by wrapping it around pillars of houses where birds and animals pass through, or around trees such as roadside trees. Also, as mentioned above, it can be scattered precisely in areas where you want to keep birds and animals away. [Example]

[0039] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0040] The bird and animal repellents of Preparation Examples 1 to 6 were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 3 below. [Table 3] * APAO: Amorphous polyalphaolefin, product name "Vestoplast 206", manufactured by Evonik Degussa * Irganox 1010: ASF Japan Co., Ltd., generic name: hindered phenol antioxidant * Nocrac NS-30: Manufactured by Ouchi Shinko Chemical Co., Ltd., generic name: 4,4'-butylidenebis(3-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol)

[0041] The ingredients in the formulations of Bird and Animal Repellent Preparation Examples 1 to 6 listed in Table 3 are placed in an appropriate blending kettle capable of heating and stirring, and then heated and melted. Once uniformly mixed, each ingredient is placed in an extrusion molding machine and extruded through a mold nozzle of the specified cross-sectional shape and diameter. By using a device that performs composite extrusion with a resin rope or foam tape as a core material inside the extrusion molding machine, it is possible to mold a product with a highly adhesive material on the periphery and a resin rope or foam tape as a core material inside. Bird and animal repellent tapes were manufactured as shown in Table 4 below.

[0042] [Table 4]

[0043] These Examples and Comparative Examples were subjected to five tests that can indicate the properties of the product, and the results are shown in Tables 5 and 6. Softening point The softening point is the temperature at which the material becomes soft and fluid when the temperature is gradually increased. The softening points of the examples were measured according to the softening point test method (ring and ball method) of JIS K2207. About Penetration Penetration indicates the softness of a material as the depth to which the tip of a needle can penetrate. It was measured according to the JIS K 2207 standard. High temperature fluidity The sample was placed upright in a thermostatic chamber at 70°C and after 5 hours, it was measured whether there was any flow. Low temperature flexibility The product sheet was wrapped around a 25mm diameter cylinder at -30°C and measured to see if cracks occurred. Chemical resistance The samples were immersed in 5% hydrochloric acid and 5% sodium hydroxide solutions for 7 days, and measurements were taken to see if there were any changes such as discoloration or deterioration.

[0044] [Table 5] [Table 6]

[0045] Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were hard and could not be self-adhesively attached to the installation location, and cracks occurred at low temperatures.

[0046] Further bird and animal repellent ropes were produced as described in Table 7 below. [Table 7]

[0047] Using the bird and animal repellent tapes and ropes produced in Examples 1 to 8, experiments on bird and animal repellent were carried out. First, four pieces of plywood about 1m wide and about 50m high were erected to make four enclosures, and bird food was scattered inside the plywood enclosures to check how often pigeons and crows would enter the enclosures to get the food. Next, on the top surface of each of the four plywood enclosures, the tape of Example 1 and the rope of Example 5 of the present invention, the tape of Example 2 and the rope of Example 6, the tape of Example 3 and the rope of Example 7, and the tape of Example 4 and the rope of Example 8 were installed, respectively, so that all four enclosures were equipped with repellent molding materials, and the frequency with which pigeons and crows entered the enclosures to get the food was recorded over time and graded according to the following criteria. As a result, one week after the installation of the repellent molding materials, the frequency was clearly The number of pigeons and crows entering the area has decreased (see Table 8). TIFF0007731542000008.tif47127

[0048] [Table 8]

[0049] As an example, we installed the product on the iron lattice of a large factory building where pigeons constantly fly in, and after a week we observed the effects, and it was clear that the number of pigeons flying in had decreased, and they no longer approached the area where the product was installed in the factory (see Table 9). We were also able to confirm that the same level of effectiveness was maintained even after two months.
