Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain artificial rush closely resembling high-quality natural rush by clearing away artificial touch such as 'shiners' and 'waxy feeling' of conventional artificial rush. CONSTITUTION:The objective artificial rush is a wiry material prepared by covering an inner layer in which films 1 composed of a thermoplastic resin are randomly folded up with a resin coating film 2 or an expanded resin coating film 3. Furthermore, this artificial rush is a wiry material obtained by covering the inner layer in which the films composed of the thermoplastic resin are randomly folded up with the film of a thermoplastic resin different from the thermoplastic resin. The objective method for producing the artificial rush is to bundle the films composed of the thermoplastic resin, pass the bundled films through a nipple part, then cover the bundled films with a polymer fed from a position between the nipple part and a die and provide one wiry material.

2. Description of the Related Art Traditional tatami mats, which can be said to be the basis of Japanese dwelling culture, have traditionally been made from natural rush. This natural grass is
Although it has a cool feeling in summer, a warm feeling in winter, and an excellent texture, it is a natural fiber mainly composed of cellulose, so it has poor durability such as abrasion resistance, and mold and rot due to water absorption and moisture absorption. Moreover, there was a problem such as discoloration due to direct sunlight. Also, due to the recent changes in the working environment, the production is heavy labor accompanied by work in the mud, so successors are not grown up and it is difficult to maintain the production volume. Therefore, Korea
Imports from China have also become popular.
However, as the supply base expands in this way, problems arise in maintaining quality, and supply instability due to the influence of the weather and fluctuations in prices due to it also cause major defects as industrial materials. Met.

Against this background, many grass substitutes have been commercialized in recent years. For example, artificial grass made of polypropylene resin independent linear foam has been commercialized for 20 to 30 years. However, although it has a long history of being used only for tatami mats and mats for judo, it has not yet become widespread as a tatami mat.

In addition, the addition of an inorganic filler to such a thermoplastic resin is effective in improving the texture of the artificial grass. As such an inorganic filler, calcium carbonate,
Titanium oxide, potassium chloride, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium stearate, magnesium carbonate, talc, silica-based filler and the like can be used, and among these, calcium carbonate is particularly preferable for the artificial grass of the present invention. . The amount of such an inorganic filler mixed varies depending on the desired feel, but is preferably 2 to 40% by weight, preferably 7 to 30% by weight. When the amount is less than 2% by weight, shininess and unevenness are severe, and when the amount is 40% by weight or more, it is difficult to form a linear form, and the color developability tends to be remarkably deteriorated.
