Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an anti-rust metal cleaning agent and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of industrial cleaning. Background Art
[0002] During production, processing, transportation, use, and storage, metal parts are often exposed to oxygen, moisture, and other corrosive media in the air. These substances can easily cause electrochemical corrosion on the metal surface, leading to rust. This not only affects the metal's appearance but also weakens its strength and durability. Therefore, rust prevention is crucial for metal products. Furthermore, during production, processing, and transportation, metal parts often acquire stains such as oil, dust, and shavings. Failure to remove these stains can affect subsequent processing, impacting the product's quality and lifespan. Therefore, surface cleaning and rust prevention are essential for metal parts.
[0003] Traditional metal cleaning requires a step-by-step process, typically: cleaning with detergent → washing → passivation → rust prevention. This process is complex, energy-intensive, and can easily lead to residual corrosive agents on the metal surface due to incomplete washing. Therefore, developing a rust-proof metal cleaning agent that combines excellent cleaning and rust prevention capabilities is crucial.
[0004] An ideal anti-rust metal cleaner needs to have sufficient cleaning power to remove rust, oil, and dirt, while also forming a protective film on the metal surface to prevent further rust. Currently, anti-rust metal cleaners on the market generally lack the ability to balance cleaning and anti-rust capabilities. Furthermore, most anti-rust metal cleaners contain corrosive and toxic ingredients, such as chlorides and acids, which are harmful to the environment, especially if improperly handled and disposed of, resulting in environmental pollution and health risks. Some anti-rust metal cleaners can also corrode or damage metal surfaces, leading to excessive oxidation or deterioration. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing anti-rust metal cleaning agents cannot take into account both rust prevention and cleaning capabilities, and to provide an anti-rust metal cleaning agent with environmentally friendly ingredients and excellent cleaning and anti-rust capabilities.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned rust-proof metal cleaning agent.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A rust-proof metal cleaning agent, which is composed of the following components in parts by weight: 10-15 parts of composite rust inhibitor, 3-6 parts of rust inhibitor, 4-8 parts of amine compound, 4-8 parts of cleaning agent, 3-6 parts of surfactant, 4-8 parts of solubilizer, 55-70 parts of water; The composite rust preventive agent is composed of alcohol amine and organic acid in a weight ratio of 1: (0.1-0.5); The alcoholamine is one of monoethanolamine or diethanolamine or a combination of the two in any proportion; The organic acid is selected from one or a combination of two or more of undecanedioic acid, decanoic acid, neodecanoic acid, sebacic acid or triazine polycarboxylic acid in any proportion, and more preferably a composition of undecanedioic acid, sebacic acid and triazine polycarboxylic acid in a mass ratio of 1:1:1.
[0008] Furthermore, the anti-rust additive is selected from any one of polycarboxylic acid organic amine, alkyl phosphate, potassium dichromate, sodium molybdate, trisodium phosphate, lauric acid monoethanolamide or benzotriazole.
[0009] Furthermore, the amine compound is selected from one or a combination of two or more of monoethanolamine, triethanolamine, MDEA (N-methyldiethanolamine) or DMEA (dimethylethanolamine) in any proportion. The main function of the amine compound is to increase and maintain the pH value of the system and adjust the pH value of the system to above 9.5. However, the amount used should not be too high. If the pH value of the system is too high, it will endanger the safety of the operator.
[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning aid is selected from one or a combination of two or more of potassium pyrophosphate, sodium citrate or sodium gluconate in any proportion.
[0011] Furthermore, the surfactant is selected from one of PSO-100 (Nanjing Gutian Chemical Co., Ltd.), AEO-7, OP-10 or linear alkylbenzene sulfonate.
[0012] Furthermore, the solubilizing agent is selected from one of sodium toluenesulfonate, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, urea, PEG-400 or 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
[0013] The preparation method of the above-mentioned rust-proof metal cleaning agent comprises the following steps: adding the composite rust-proof agent to water, stirring and mixing evenly, then sequentially adding the rust-proof auxiliary agent, amine compound, cleaning auxiliary agent, surfactant and solubilizer, stirring evenly, to obtain the rust-proof metal cleaning agent.
[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention: (1) The rust-proof metal cleaning agent of the present invention contains a composite rust-proof agent, which is composed of an alcohol amine and an organic acid. The two react to form an amide compound. The amide group has both ion-bonding physical adsorption and covalent-bonding chemical adsorption, so it can be adsorbed on the surface of the workpiece, blocking the contact between the workpiece and water, and achieving a good rust-proof effect.
[0015] (2) The rust-proof metal cleaning agent of the present invention contains amine compounds, which can not only maintain a high pH value of the system, but also have good buffering properties for the pH of the system, thereby increasing the durability of pH stability.
[0016] (3) The rust-proof metal cleaning agent of the present invention has excellent cleaning ability and rust-proof effect. When applied to metal workpieces that need to be cleaned and rust-proofed between processes, it can clean the oil stains on the surface of the workpiece while enabling the workpiece to have very good rust-proof effect between processes. The rust-proof metal cleaning agent of the present invention is particularly suitable for rust-proof cleaning of steel parts. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0059] The rust-proof metal cleaning agents prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested for physical and chemical indicators (density, refractive index, pH value, rust-proof performance), rust-proof performance, and cleaning ability: (1) Density The density is tested using the method of GB / T 1884-2000. The normal range of density is: 1.0000~1.1000g / cm 3 .
[0060] (2) Refractive index reading The refractive index reading is tested using the method of GB / T 614-2021. The normal range of refractive index reading is: 15-30.
[0061] (3) pH value Dilute the anti-rust metal cleaning agent with water to a 3% concentration, and then use a pH meter to test the pH. The normal pH range is 9.0 to 11.0.
[0062] (4) Anti-rust performance The test is conducted using the IP287 standard. Dilute the anti-rust metal cleaning agent with water to a 3% concentration by mass. Add 2g of iron filings to 20g of the dilution and mix thoroughly. Pour out the dilution and spread the soaked iron filings evenly on filter paper (within a 1cm x 1cm square). Place the filter paper in a watch glass, seal it with plastic wrap, and place it in an oven at 35°C ± 2°C. After 2 hours, remove the filter paper and assess the area of rust. If there is no rust, the anti-rust performance is considered excellent. If the rust area accounts for less than 0.1% of the filter paper square area, the anti-rust performance is good. If the rust area accounts for 0.1%-1% of the filter paper square area, the anti-rust performance is acceptable. If the rust area accounts for 1%-5% of the filter paper square area, the anti-rust performance is fair. If the rust area accounts for more than 5% of the filter paper square area, the anti-rust performance is unacceptable.
[0063] (5) Cleaning performance test The cleaning ability of a cleaning agent is evaluated by measuring the change in mass of contaminants on an object or surface before and after cleaning. The specific steps are as follows: 1) Ultrasonic cleaning of a standard metal sheet (low carbon steel AISI 1010, size: 50 mm × 50 mm × 1 mm) with acetone or ethanol for 10 minutes to remove surface grease, drying (105°C, 1 hour), cooling to room temperature, and weighing (denoted as W 空白 ); 2) Use a micro syringe to evenly apply 0.1-0.2g of engine oil to the surface of the test piece, let it stand at room temperature for 24 hours (or bake at 80℃ for 1 hour to accelerate curing), and measure the weight of the contaminated test piece (recorded as W 初始 ); 3) Dilute the rust-proof metal cleaning agents of the examples and comparative examples with water to a 5% by mass concentration of the cleaning agent diluent. Heat the solution to 60°C. Place the contaminated test piece in the cleaning agent diluent, ensuring that the cleaning agent diluent covers the standard test piece. Ultrasonic cleaning is then performed (40 kHz, 5 minutes). 4) Take out the test piece and rinse it with deionized water three times to remove the residual cleaning agent, place it in a desiccator to cool to room temperature, and weigh it (recorded as W 清洗后 ), the decontamination rate is calculated according to the following formula:
[0064] The test results are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Test results of the rust-proof metal cleaning agents of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3
