The present invention discloses an oil pastel and a manufacturing method thereof. The oil pastel is composed of 100 parts of a
plant wax base, 8 - 25 parts of an environment-friendly
pigment, and 0 - 90.05 parts of auxiliary materials. The
plant wax base is composed of 50 - 90 parts of
plant wax A and 10 - 50 parts of plant wax B. The
hardness of plant wax A is higher than that of plant wax B to ensure the
hardness of the oil pastel, and the
viscosity of plant wax B is higher than that of plant wax A to enhance the saturation of the oil pastel.
Plant wax A is selected as soybean wax with a
melting point of 58 - 62°C. The oil pastel prepared by the present invention is more excellent in anti-chipping ability and high-
temperature resistance, bringing a better painting experience to users. In addition, since the present invention can be prepared with only three main raw materials, the simple formula makes the
processing procedure simple. Using soybean wax as the main
raw material, it is convenient to obtain and has a low production cost. The prepared oil pastel is green, safe and degradable, and has the characteristic of not being easy to release oil at high temperatures. By adding a bittering agent, it can prevent young people from
swallowing after
biting, improve the use safety, and has a wider application range.
