Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing artificial flower paper used as a material for artificial flowers, shaped bonsai, etc.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the method for manufacturing this type of artificial flower paper is as follows:
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-32664 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-31443, a molten mixture containing paraffin wax or crystal wax as a main ingredient is applied to crepe paper made by applying extremely fine crepe processing to Japanese paper. There are known products that apply a so-called brazing process.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Artificial flowers, shaped bonsai, etc. made using crepe waxed paper for artificial flowers that have been subjected to conventional waxing process have problems with softness and hardness because the wax dries up over time. The moisture and strength are lost, and the texture becomes completely different from that of fresh flowers or actual bonsai.

In addition, when expressing the smoothness of real leaves, it is necessary to rub the crepe paper's wrinkles to make it smooth, but crepe wax paper for artificial flowers is
This “wrinkle” is a “wrinkle” that is stronger due to the wax content.
Because of this, it is not easy to smooth the surface, and there is a risk that the wax may peel off during the process.

Furthermore, if crepe wax paper for artificial flowers is placed in a high-temperature location (near the hot air outlet of an air conditioner, near the rear glass of a car, etc.), the wax content tends to melt due to the heat, and the paper will polymerize and become unusable. There is a possibility that this will happen.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present inventor has been involved in the production of artificial flowers, shaped bonsai, etc. using crepe waxed paper for artificial flowers as a material for many years, and found that none of the above problems were solved by waxing. As a result of various studies and repeated studies on methods of manufacturing artificial flower paper that has the texture of fresh flowers or actual bonsai without waxing, we have finally completed the present invention. It is ivy.

That is, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing artificial flower paper that can easily express the quality of fresh flowers and actual bonsai without waxing. It is characterized by adding and mixing non-drying vegetable oil, a small amount of glycerin, and a small amount of vinegar, and applying this mixed solution to crepe paper or Japanese paper.

The petrolatum used in the present invention is a jelly-like semi-solid hydrocarbon mixture, is not easily affected by air oxidation and chemicals, and can be mixed with almost all drugs without any change.

The artificial flower paper produced according to the present invention maintains its softness, moisture, and silky texture over a long period of time, making it easy to smooth out crepe paper wrinkles, and also prevents wax from peeling off. This is because this petrolatum is sticky at room temperature, does not dry out easily, and has good adhesion to crepe paper or Japanese paper.

As the non-drying vegetable oil used in the present invention, olive oil or camellia oil is suitable because it does not cause any harm to humans, and the artificial flower paper produced according to the present invention can express the texture of fresh flowers, such as moisture, lily, and smoothness. is due to this non-drying vegetable oil.

Due to its high boiling point and hygroscopicity, glycerin helps the artificial flower paper maintain its texture, such as moisture and softness, over a long period of time.

In addition, the acetic acid contained in vinegar prevents the artificial flower paper from deteriorating over a long period of time, helping to maintain its moisture and smooth texture.

(Example) Example 1 Vaseline with 60% by weight of olive oil, which is a non-drying vegetable oil, 0.85% of glycerin, and 0.15% of vinegar.
This was heated to 50-70°C and mixed with stirring. This mixed solution was soaked in an applicator such as a sponge and applied uniformly to crepe paper to obtain artificial flower paper.

Here, the reason for heating to 50 to 70°C is to mix quickly, and if there is no need to do so, there is no need to add any particular strength.

This artificial flower paper continued to maintain the moisture, smoothness, and smoothness of fresh flowers for several years.

Furthermore, even when this artificial flower paper was left in a high temperature area exposed to direct sunlight, such as near the rear window of a car, for several hours, it did not change in quality or melt the coated surface.

Furthermore, it was easy to smooth out wrinkles, and the coated surface did not peel off during the process.

Example 2 Artificial flower paper was produced using the same ingredients and conditions as in Example 1, except that 60% by weight of camellia oil was added as a non-drying vegetable oil.

This artificial flower paper also produced the same effects as in Example 1.

Comparative Example 1 Conventional crepe wax paper for artificial flowers maintains the texture of fresh flowers, such as moisture, tassels, and smoothness, for about a year, but as time passes, the texture becomes completely different from that of fresh flowers. It has become so.

Moreover, when this crepe wax paper for artificial flowers was left near the rear window of a car for several hours, it changed in quality and the coated surface part melted.

Furthermore, in order to smooth out the wrinkles, it was necessary to rub strongly with scissors or the handle of a sennuki, which was not an easy task, and there were some areas where the wax peeled off during the process.

(Effects of the Invention) The artificial flower paper produced according to the present invention can express a texture that is extremely close to that of fresh flowers, actual bonsai, etc., which cannot be achieved with conventional crepe wax paper for artificial flowers. Artificial flowers, shaped bonsai, etc. can maintain their softness, moisture, and texture over a long period of time because the applied mixture does not dry out.

In addition, since the artificial flower paper produced according to the present invention does not contain wax that is solid at room temperature in the applied mixture, it is easy to smooth out wrinkles and remove wrinkles. Unlike conventional methods, the inconvenience of the wax component peeling off during work does not occur, and there is no risk that the polymerized paper will adhere even if it is placed in a high temperature area.

Moreover, the artificial flower paper produced according to the present invention is
It can be manufactured at a much lower cost than conventional crepe wax paper for artificial flowers.
