CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.
62/864,550, filed June 21, 2019, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to moldable erasers, compositions for moldable erasers, methods of making moldable erasers, and kits for making molded erasers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] There are numerous mold-your-own eraser kits available in the market.
However, these commercially available DIY eraser kits generally contain a form of "eraser clay," a pliable clay or putty-like substance, which often includes polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Furthermore, these and other commercial DIY eraser kits require heat to cure the molded eraser, typically by using an oven set to a temperature of greater than 200 F. High temperature curing has its own drawbacks, including a practical limit on the suitable age for use (e.g., limiting the participation of younger consumers). Additionally, there is a risk of thermal degradation of the PVC which may release hazardous hydrochloric acid (HCI). While known moldable eraser kits are in use, the inventors have determined that the state of the art can be improved.

[000104] The viscosities of Part A in the first container and Part B in the second container are >100,000 cSt, such that they are soft putties.
[000105] Example 6: Method of making a molded eraser using Kits of Examples
[000106] Approximately equal volumes of Part A and Part B of the above Examples 1-3 were measured using an appropriate measuring cup or spoon. Mixing was accomplished with a plastic stirrer and mixing container (optionally, a mechanical mixing device may be used, or simply by manual kneading if the supplied Parts A and B are putty-like instead of viscous fluids). Rapid and thorough mixing was used to evenly disperse the reactants (e.g., the first silicone polymer, the second silicone polymer and the catalyst).
Thorough mixing was achieved in less than 30 seconds as evidenced by the appearance of a homogeneous color with no swirls or streaks. An exemplary mixing ratio by volume of Part B
to Part A as used for making a stiff cured eraser is 3:1. Decreasing the amount of catalyst relative to Part A resulted in a softer and more flexible eraser. Further reduction in the ratio, for example, reversing the volume ratio (i.e., 1:3 Part B:Part A) resulted in a very soft, spongy compound which lacked the stiffness to satisfactorily erase pencil markings.

Further reduction in the ratio, for example, reversing the volume ratio (i.e., 1:3 Part B:Part A) resulted in a very soft, spongy compound which lacked the stiffness to satisfactorily erase pencil markings.
[000107] Molding was accomplished either by manipulation by hand into a desired shape or by filling pre-formed molds. The molds may be made from any material that is compatible with (e.g., will not be attacked by or react with) the components of Parts A and B. Heat was not used for the curing step, however, application of heat will result in a faster curing time. The molded articles were sufficiently hardened and ready for use as an eraser within approximately 30 minutes after mixing. Molded compounds could be expanded in any direction or even decorated by adding more uncured material to the cured molded object. With respect to the addition of yet more uncured material to the cured molded object, there appeared to be enough unreacted vinyl groups remaining in the cured compound that they reacted with additional vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and catalyst.
[000108] A similar procedure may be used to make a moldable eraser using the moldable eraser kit of Example 4, where part A includes both the first silicone polymer and the second silicone polymer, by mixing Part A and Part B in any suitable volume ratio, such CPST Doc: 267112.1 Date Recue/Date Received 2020-06-19 CA Application CPST Ref: 74426/00015 as A:B::1:1. For Example, if a stiffer eraser material is desired, the amount of Part B
relative to Part A can be increased, and vice versa, if a softer eraser material is desired, as described above.
relative to Part A can be increased, and vice versa, if a softer eraser material is desired, as described above.
[000109] Additionally, a similar procedure as used above for Examples 1-3 may be used to make a moldable eraser using the moldable eraser kit of Example 5 by mixing Part A and Part B in a volume ratio of A:B::1:1.
