Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal cleaning technology, and in particular to a water-based metal cleaning agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] During the molding process of high-voltage / ultra-high-voltage epoxy insulation components, it is necessary to clean the surface of the internal metal inserts (mainly copper and aluminum) to prevent impurities from entering the epoxy resin material, which would reduce insulation performance, cause product breakdown failure, and line operation failure.

[0003] Currently, the metal cleaning agents commonly used in the industry are mainly organic solvent systems represented by chlorinated hydrocarbons. These cleaning agents have strong dissolving and cleaning capabilities, but they have the following problems: (1) They are highly volatile and pose potential hazards to the respiratory system and skin of operators. Long-term exposure may lead to occupational health risks; (2) The evaporation and emission of solvents will cause air pollution. Some chlorinated hydrocarbons also have the potential effect of destroying the ozone layer, which does not meet the requirements of current environmental protection policies; (3) The cleaning waste liquid cannot be directly discharged and needs to be professionally collected and treated as hazardous waste, which increases production costs and management burden.

[0004] While existing water-based systems offer advantages such as environmental friendliness and high safety, they often suffer from problems like high foaming volume and difficulty in rinsing while improving cleaning capabilities. This makes it difficult to achieve an effective balance between cleaning power and low foaming performance, and thus fails to meet the stringent cleanliness requirements of high-voltage / ultra-high-voltage insulation components.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a water-based metal cleaning agent that combines excellent cleaning effect with low foaming properties. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention proposes a water-based metal cleaning agent that is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and harmless, has excellent cleaning effect on metal surfaces, and also has excellent low-foaming properties, making it easy to rinse clean.

[0007] The present invention also proposes a method for preparing the water-based metal cleaning agent.

[0008] The present invention also proposes the application of the water-based metal cleaning agent.

[0009] The first aspect of this invention relates to a water-based metal cleaning agent, comprising water, a preservative, and the following raw materials by mass percentage: nonionic surfactant A 0.1%~0.3%, nonionic surfactant B 4%~6%, isooctanol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate 0.2%~0.5%, and a chelating agent 1%~3%; wherein the nonionic surfactant A is selected from at least one of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, and the number of oxyethylene units in the molecular structure is 6~8; wherein the nonionic surfactant B is selected from at least one of coconut oil fatty acid diethanolamide and coconut oil fatty acid monoethanolamide.

[0010] The water-based metal cleaning agent according to the first aspect of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The molecular structure of nonionic surfactant A contains hydrophobic nonylphenol and / or octylphenol groups, as well as hydrophilic ethylene oxide segments, with 6 to 8 ethylene oxide units. While maintaining good water solubility, it can fully exert emulsification, dispersion and detergency during the cleaning process, thereby improving the cleaning ability of oil stains on metal surfaces.

[0011] Nonionic surfactant B has good solubility. When used in conjunction with nonionic surfactant A, it can improve the wetting and stripping ability of the cleaning agent on oil stains, thereby increasing overall cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, nonionic surfactant B can reduce foam stability and foam formation, which facilitates subsequent rinsing and reduces the adverse effects of cleaning residue on electrical properties.

[0012] Isooctyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate ester ionizes in water to generate negatively charged active ions, exhibiting excellent emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, and penetrating properties. Its polarized groups adsorb onto oil stains on metal surfaces, while its hydrophilic groups interact with the aqueous phase, gradually dispersing the oil stains and causing them to peel off from the metal surface. This phosphate ester anionic surfactant synergistically enhances the effect with two types of nonionic surfactants, further improving the interfacial tension of the solution, making it easier for the cleaning solution to wet the metal surface, and promoting the desorption of oil stains from the metal surface under external forces such as stirring and vibration.

[0013] Chelating agents can complex metal ions, enhance the stability of cleaning solutions, reduce dirt adhesion, and further improve cleaning performance.

[0014] Through the combination of the above components, the cleaning agent of the present invention not only has excellent metal surface cleaning ability, but also has good low foaming and easy rinsing properties, making it particularly suitable for cleaning metal inserts in high-voltage / ultra-high-voltage electrical insulation components where strict interface cleanliness requirements are required.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the number of oxyethylene units in the isooctanol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate is 3 to 15, and more specifically 6 to 8, which can better balance solubility and cleaning ability.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the isooctanol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate is prepared by the following method: under stirring conditions, phosphorus pentoxide is added to isooctanol polyoxyethylene ether, heated to react, and hydrolyzed to obtain the product. The molar ratio of isooctanol polyoxyethylene ether to phosphorus pentoxide is 2-3:1, for example, 2:1, 2.5:1, or 3:1. By controlling the raw material ratio, a product mainly composed of monoesters is generated, improving permeability and further enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the feeding rate of phosphorus pentoxide is 5-10 g / min, for example 5 g / min, 8 g / min or 10 g / min. By slowly feeding, the instantaneous local concentration of the raw material is reduced, side reactions are minimized, and the formation of the target product, mainly composed of monoesters, is facilitated.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the feeding temperature of phosphorus pentoxide is 35~45°C, for example 35°C, 40°C or 45°C, to ensure that phosphorus pentoxide is fully dispersed while avoiding excessively high temperature that could lead to excessively rapid reaction or an increase in local side reactions.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature of the heating reaction is 65~75°C, for example 65°C, 70°C or 75°C.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the heating reaction time is 3 to 5 hours, for example 3 hours, 4 hours or 5 hours.

[0021] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the amount of water added during hydrolysis is 2% to 5% of the mass of the isooctanol polyoxyethylene ether, for example, 2%, 3%, 4% or 5%. Hydrolysis can convert the polyphosphate ester formed in the reaction into a monoester.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the hydrolysis temperature is 70~80°C, for example 70°C, 75°C or 80°C.

[0023] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the hydrolysis time is 1 to 2 hours, for example 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours.

[0024] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the chelating agent is selected from at least one of iminodisuccinic acid, aspartic acid diethoxysuccinic acid and N-carboxyethyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid, all of which are environmentally friendly chelating agents that are completely biodegradable. The degradation products are amino acids and nutrients, which are environmentally friendly.

[0025] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the chelating agent is 2% to 3% by mass, for example, 2%, 2.5% or 3%.

[0026] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the preservative is selected from sodium metavanadate. Compared with commonly used benzotriazole organic preservatives, sodium metavanadate has lower skin irritation and is more environmentally friendly and safer.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the preservative is present in a mass percentage of 0.005% to 0.05%, for example 0.005% to 0.02%, more specifically 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.015% or 0.02%.

[0028] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water mass percentage is 90.5% to 94%, for example 90.5%, 91%, 91.5%, 92%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5% or 94%.

[0029] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the nonionic surfactant A is 0.15% to 0.25% by mass, for example 0.15%, 0.2% or 0.25%.

[0030] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the nonionic surfactant B has a mass percentage of 5% to 6%, for example 5%, 5.5% or 6%.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water-based metal cleaning agent meets the following conditions, and the test standard is JB / T 4323-2019: Cleaning ability for artificial oil stains ≥93%; Cleaning capacity for hydraulic oil contaminants ≥96%; Defoaming capacity ≤1mm.

[0032] The second aspect of the present invention relates to a method for preparing the water-based metal cleaning agent, comprising: mixing all the raw materials to obtain the cleaning agent.

[0033] This invention does not limit the specific mixing method. For example, two nonionic surfactants can be dissolved in water first, and then the remaining components can be added and mixed. During the mixing process, stirring or appropriate heating can be used as needed to improve the dissolution and dispersion efficiency. Specific operating conditions can be adjusted according to actual process requirements and experience.

[0034] The third aspect of this invention relates to the application of the aforementioned water-based metal cleaning agent in metal cleaning. Specifically, this cleaning agent is particularly suitable for cleaning metal inserts in high-voltage / ultra-high-voltage electrical insulation components to remove surface oil and impurities and improve interface cleanliness.

[0035] In this article, the numerical ranges mentioned include the endpoints and any subsets within that range.

[0070] In Example 7, the chelating agent was replaced with a cleaning agent containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Its cleaning effect was comparable to that of Examples 1-6. However, the chelating agent used in Examples 1-6 was a completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly chelating agent. The degradation products were amino acids and nutrients, which were environmentally friendly.

[0071] Comparative Example 1, which did not contain coconut oil fatty acid diethanolamide and coconut oil fatty acid monoethanolamide, had a poor cleaning effect and a high foaming amount; Comparative Example 2, which did not contain nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, had a poor cleaning effect on oil stains on metal surfaces; and Comparative Example 3, which did not contain anionic surfactants, had the worst cleaning effect.

[0072] Comparative Example 4 was a test in which nonionic surfactant B was replaced with dodecyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. The cleaning effect was significantly reduced, mainly because the increase in carbon chain and number of oxyethyl groups weakened the emulsification, dispersion and wetting effects.

[0073] Comparative Example 5 used sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as an anionic surfactant, resulting in a higher foam production.

[0074] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
