Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tapping torque rust inhibitor and a rust-preventive oil and fat composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Metal fastening members, including screws, bolts, nuts, nails, etc., are essential for manufacturing many structures, such as architectural structures and automobiles. When these metal fastening members are used outdoors, they rust due to moisture, salt, etc., when exposed to the open air, and are subject to corrosion and deterioration. Therefore, rust formation has a significant impact on the durability, corrosion resistance, etc., of structures that use these members. Therefore, various rust inhibitors have been developed to improve the corrosion resistance of metals. For example, chromate, hexavalent chromium, and other rust inhibitors are known as antiseptics.

[0003] However, due to recent environmental issues, there is an increasing demand for the development of more environmentally friendly products, and in particular, there is an increasing demand for the use of highly safe substances derived from natural products such as plants.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a rust inhibitor containing tannins such as persimmon tannins. However, it is described that rust inhibitors containing tannins have problems with durability. In recent years, furthermore, from the perspective of SDGs and the like, there is an expectation for accelerating the development of products using such environmentally friendly plant-derived raw materials.

[0005] Among the screws that are metal fastening members used in the above-mentioned architectural structures, tapping screws, for example, are commonly used because they are efficient and easy to use, as they do not require thread cutting using a tap or internal threads such as nuts, and can be used after drilling a pilot hole. However, although such tapping screws can be fastened while cutting an internal thread into the mating member, they require torque (rotational force) when forming the internal thread, which can cause problems such as fatigue for the operator. Furthermore, because the work is done with an electric screwdriver tool, the drive part (recess) of the screw head is scratched, and the plating or other coating on the metal surface of the screw is peeled off, which inevitably leads to the problem of rust forming on the surface. Therefore, there is a strong demand for the development of a screw that has good tapping torque properties and excellent rust prevention performance. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0014] Tapping torque rust inhibitor The tapping torque rust inhibitor of the present invention contains rice oil.

[0015] The rice bran oil used in the present invention refers to an oil obtained from rice bran. Among rice bran oils, rice germ oil, which contains a relatively large amount of γ-oryzanol, is called rice germ oil. Here, rice bran oil also includes rice germ oil. The rice bran oil is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include "Rice Salad Oil" manufactured by Tsuno Foods Co., Ltd. and "Rice Oil" manufactured by Tsuno Foods Co., Ltd.

[0016] Rice oil contains fatty acids that are liquid at room temperature, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, and palmitic acid.

[0017] Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid, and is an ω-9 fatty acid with a carbon:double bond ratio of 18:1 (n-9), represented by the formula CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH. Oleic acid has a melting point of 13.4°C. Linoleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid, and is an omega-6 fatty acid with a carbon number:double bond ratio of 18:2(n-6), represented by the formula CH3(CH2)4(CH=CHCH2)2(CH2)6COOH. Linoleic acid has a melting point of -5°C. Alpha-linolenic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid, and is an omega-3 fatty acid with a carbon number:double bond number ratio of 18:3 (n-3), represented by the formula CH3CH2(CH=CHCH2)3(CH2)6COOH. Alpha-linolenic acid has a melting point of -11°C. Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid and has the structure CH3(CH2) 14 Palmitic acid is a fatty acid with a carbon number:double bond number ratio of 16:0, represented by COOH. Its melting point is 62.9°C.

[0018] In addition to fatty acids, rice bran oil also contains vitamin E (tocopherol), tocotrienol, γ-oryzanol, etc. The fatty acids in rice bran oil typically contain about 44% (40-45%) oleic acid, about 36% (35-40%) linoleic acid, about 1.2% (1-2%) α-linolenic acid, and about 17% (15-20%) palmitic acid. Therefore, in the present invention, an oil and fat composition containing 40-45% oleic acid, 35-40% linoleic acid, 1-2% α-linolenic acid, and 15-20% palmitic acid may be used instead of rice bran oil.

In addition, not only new oil (new oil) but also recycled rice oil (hereinafter referred to as recycled rice oil, etc.) can be used as rice oil. The rice oil preferably contains oleic acid and linoleic acid. The content of linoleic acid in rice bran oil is usually 20 to 100 parts by mass, preferably 50 to 90 parts by mass, and more preferably 80 to 85 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of oleic acid. The content of α-linolenic acid in rice bran oil is usually 1 to 5 parts by mass, preferably 1.5 to 4 parts by mass, and more preferably 2 to 3 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of oleic acid. The content of palmitic acid in rice bran oil is usually 10 to 60 parts by mass, preferably 20 to 50 parts by mass, and more preferably 30 to 40 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of oleic acid. Only one type of rice bran oil may be used, or two or more types may be used.

When the tapping torque rust preventative of the present invention is applied to a screw and measured with a torque analyzer (manufactured by Atonic Co., Ltd., product name: 20 N m Torque Analyzer), the maximum torque of a 4 mm diameter self-drilled screw is preferably less than 5.0 N m, more preferably less than 4.8 N m, and particularly preferably less than 4.7 N m.

[0022] The tapping torque rust inhibitor of the present invention can further contain other components. Here, the tapping torque rust inhibitor containing other components can be rephrased as a rust-preventive oil and fat composition.

[0074] Method for preparing rust-preventive oil and fat composition The method for preparing (producing) the rust-preventive oil and fat composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and no special method is required, and methods commonly used by those skilled in the art can be used. For example, the method for preparing the rust-preventive oil and fat composition of the present invention includes a step of mixing a tapping torque rust inhibitor (rice bran oil) with a rust inhibitor (a nitrogen-containing compound, a fatty acid ester compound, a phosphate ester compound, or persimmon tannin). Note that a rust-preventive oil and fat composition containing only a tapping torque rust inhibitor and a rust inhibitor may also be referred to as a main component. Furthermore, when the rust-preventive oil and fat composition contains optional components (additives, etc.) other than the main component, the preparation method thereof is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a preparation method in which the tapping torque rust inhibitor, the rust inhibitor, and, if necessary, other components such as the additives described above are mixed and dispersed using a dispersing machine such as a disperser, a ball mill, an SG mill, or a roll mill.

[0075] Purpose The tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil / fat composition of the present invention is a tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil / fat composition used on the surface of a metal. The tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil and fat composition of the present invention can be used, for example, as a lubricating oil composition, an anti-electrolytic corrosion agent, a top coating agent for screws, etc. Furthermore, a metal fastener having a layer formed from the tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil-and-grease composition of the present invention, particularly a screw having a layer formed from the tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil-and-grease composition of the present invention, not only has rust-preventive performance but also excellent tapping torque performance. The tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil-and-grease composition of the present invention, and a metal fastener having a layer formed from the tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil-and-grease composition of the present invention, are environmentally friendly products. In addition, each invention of the product can be blended with known additives (optional components) for these uses.

[0076] Coating method (painting method) The coating method (painting method) of the tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil and fat composition of the present invention can be carried out by a general method such as dipping, brushing, roller application, or spraying. The tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil / fat composition of the present invention can typically be reused by filtering even the surplus portion generated by centrifugal drying.

[0077] Object to be coated The substrate (the object to be coated (painted) with the tapping torque rust inhibitor or the rust-preventive oil / fat composition of the present invention) is not particularly limited as long as it is a steel material (metal) that requires rust prevention, and examples thereof include connecting members such as bolts, nuts, screws, nails, and rivets, as well as various materials such as building materials; electrical parts; and structural members for automobiles, railways, and ships.

[0078] The surface of the substrate may be previously blasted, or may be coated with an anti-rust paint, a shop paint, or an organic or inorganic zinc primer.

[0079] Metal fasteners The type of metal fastening member is not limited in terms of material, shape, size, purpose, etc., as long as it is a metal (including alloys and intermetallic compounds).

[0080] Examples of materials include metals such as iron, copper, titanium, aluminum, nickel, and magnesium, as well as alloys such as steel, stainless steel, brass, titanium-based alloys, aluminum-based alloys, nickel-based alloys, and magnesium-based alloys.

[0081] The product may also be one that has undergone a surface treatment (surface treatment using a metal coating) such as plating, chemical conversion treatment, thermal spraying, painting, anodizing of aluminum alloys, etching, CVD, or PVD. In particular, rust-proof plated products are also suitable for use in the present invention. Typical examples of such rust-proof plated products include zinc-plated products and alloy-plated products such as iron-, nickel-, tin-, and chromium-based products. Furthermore, zinc-plated products may be chromate-treated products such as bright chromate (unichrome), colored chromate, black chromate, green chromate, and trivalent chromate, or multi-layered products with two or more layers, such as a zinc-plated base coat followed by a top coat such as an aluminum alloy powder coating.

[0082] In addition, the surface may be treated without containing hexavalent chromium, for example, by treating zinc plating with a hexavalent chromium-free film or by painting.

[0083] A typical treatment for chromium-based stainless steel screws is passivation treatment.

[0084] Passivation is a rust prevention treatment. For example, by treating a screw with a nitric acid-based oxidizing agent (passivation treatment), an oxide layer (passivation film) with improved rust prevention properties is formed.

[0085] Screw There are no particular limitations on the type of screw as long as it has a spiral groove. Here, "screw" is a general term for all screws with a spiral groove. Bolts and screws are also types of screws, and in the present invention, bolts and screws are also included in the term "screw." The screw may be fastened by either tightening the screw alone or by clamping it between a screw and a nut. Examples of screws used in the method of clamping between a screw and a nut include bolts. Examples of screws used in the method of fastening a single screw include drill screws, tapping screws, machine screws, and tapered screws. Self-drilling screws are screws that are mainly used in steel-framed buildings, sheet metal processed products, etc. These self-drilling screws have a drill attached to the tip that can drill holes in metal plates, so a single self-drilling screw can be used to drill holes, create screw holes, and tighten screws. Tapping screws can be tapped independently if a pilot hole is drilled using a tapping drill or similar. Therefore, even if the part you want to use the screw in does not have a female thread, which is a cylindrical hole with a groove cut into the inner surface to accept a male thread, you can use the screw alone. There are many types of tapping screws, including those with a pointed tip and those with a groove cut into the shank, which can be used to cut into the mating part while tightening. The screw may also be one whose head has been scratched with an electric drill, etc. The tapping torque rust inhibitor or rust-preventive oil / fat composition of the present invention has excellent tapping torque properties and rust prevention properties even on scratched screws. [Example]

[0086] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0087] (1) Examination test of tapping torque rust inhibitor Example 1 20 g of rice oil (manufactured by Tsuno Foods Co., Ltd., product name: rice salad oil) was prepared and used as tapping torque rust inhibitor 1 (oil 1). The rice oil used contained 42% oleic acid, 36% linoleic acid, and 16% palmitic acid. Separately, stainless steel screws (manufactured by Kokubu Co., Ltd., SUS410 drill screws) were prepared by passivating (Sakamoto Kogyo Co., Ltd.). The above-mentioned tapping torque rust inhibitor 1 was placed in a beaker (45 mm x 78 mm) and oil heated to 35°C was obtained. The above-mentioned 10 screws were placed in the oil and immersed for 10 minutes. After that, the screws were placed in a basket. To adjust the film thickness, the removed screw was heated and centrifuged and dried using a centrifugal drying tank (manufactured by Kida Seiko Co., Ltd., product name: manual wax device), to obtain screw 1 having a layer (average film thickness 33 μm) formed from tapping torque rust inhibitor 1. The average film thickness is not particularly limited, but is usually in the range of 1 μm to 100 μm, preferably in the range of 10 μm to 75 μm, and more preferably in the range of 25 μm to 50 μm.

[0088] <Comparative Example 1> Comparative screw 1 having a layer (average film thickness 30 μm) formed from comparative oil 1 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that rice bran oil was replaced with coconut oil (comparative oil 1).

[0089] <Comparative Example 2> Comparative screw 2 having a layer (average film thickness 33 μm) formed from comparative oil 2 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that rice bran oil was replaced with canola oil (comparative oil 2).

[0090] <Comparative Example 3> Comparative screw 3 having a layer (average film thickness 36 μm) formed from comparative oil 3 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that rice bran oil was replaced with cottonseed oil (comparative oil 3).

[0091] <Comparative Example 4> Comparative screw 4 having a layer (average film thickness 32 μm) formed from comparative oil 4 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that rice bran oil was replaced with camellia oil (comparative oil 4).

[0092] <Comparative Example 5> Comparative screw 5 having a layer (average film thickness 30 μm) formed from comparative oil 5 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that rice bran oil was replaced with soybean oil (comparative oil 5).

[0093] <Comparative Example 6> Comparative screw 6 having a layer (average film thickness 33 μm) formed from comparative oil 6 was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that rice bran oil was replaced with olive oil (comparative oil 6).

[0094] Test example 1 (corrosion resistance test) The corrosion resistance test was conducted using the accelerated exposure corrosion life prediction test (FCK test method) developed by the Kansai Screw Cooperative Association and described in Patent No. 4471897, which is used to predict the service life of fastener hardware such as screws used to fasten roofs, exterior walls, etc. of building structures.

[0095] Specifically, a combined cycle testing machine SYP-90 (Suga Testing Machine) was used to test the metal components through the following steps (a) and (b): (a) spraying an aqueous solution (pH=4) containing 0.5 wt % NaCl and 0.1 wt % CaCl onto the component in air at 30 to 60°C for 16 hours; (b) leaving the component in air at 30 to 60°C for 8 hours; This is a method of repeatedly performing a combination of the above. In the following Test Example 1, the above steps (a) and (b) constitute one cycle, and this cycle is repeated for 10 or 15 cycles. Here, the test performed for 10 cycles is designated as FCK Test Method A, and the test performed for 15 cycles is designated as FCK Test Method B.

[0096] The FCK test method is said to produce results that are highly correlated with outdoor exposure tests. For example, a screw that develops red rust after 15 cycles of accelerated testing using this FCK test method can be estimated to develop red rust after 66 months in Osaka and 12 months in Omaezaki.

[0097] <Evaluation of the condition of red rust on the head of each screw> Ten screws each of the screws obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were prepared. Ten of each type of prepared screw was subjected to a corrosion resistance test using FCK test method A (10 cycles) described in Test Example 1, and the state of red rust on the head of each screw was evaluated on the following three-point scale. 0: No red rust 1: Red rust occurs on less than 50% of the surface area 2: Red rust occurs on 50% or more of the surface

[0098] <Corrosion resistance test evaluation> The scores for the red rust condition of the screw heads of the 10 screws obtained in the corrosion resistance test were totaled to determine a total value, which was then evaluated on a 5-point scale according to the following evaluation criteria. Less than 5:5 4:5 or more and less than 6 3:6 or more and less than 11 2:11 or more and less than 16 1:16 or more

[0099] Test example 2 (tapping torque test; maximum torque) Using the self-drilling screws obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6, pilot holes were drilled into a 2.3 mm thick C-shaped steel plate (without pilot holes), and then taps were inserted to form threads, and the tapping torque value until penetration was measured. Specifically, the mating member (C-shaped steel plate) was fixed, and the maximum torque (N·m) during tapping was measured using a torque analyzer (manufactured by Atonic Co., Ltd., product name: 20 N·m Torque Analyzer). Tapping torque performance was evaluated on a five-point scale based on the maximum torque value, as shown below.

[0100] <Evaluation of tapping torque test> 5: Less than 4.7 N m 4: 4.7N·m or more but less than 4.8N·m 3: 4.8N·m or more and less than 5.0N·m 2: 5.0 N·m or more and less than 5.1 N·m 1:5.1N m or more

[0101] The screws obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were subjected to the FCK test method A (10 cycles) and Test Example 2 (tapping torque test) of the corrosion resistance test of Test Example 1. The total score of the evaluations of Test Example 1 (corrosion resistance test) and Test Example 2 (tapping torque test) was calculated, and an overall evaluation was made according to the following criteria. <Overall rating> 〇:6 or more ×: Less than 6

[0102] The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0103] [Table 1]

[0104] <Result> Tapping torque rust inhibitors containing rice bran oil received higher ratings in both corrosion resistance tests and tapping torque tests than other vegetable oils (palm oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, camellia oil, soybean oil, and olive oil), and received an excellent overall rating.

The rice bran oil used contained 42% oleic acid, 36% linoleic acid, and 16% palmitic acid. Stainless steel screws (manufactured by Kokubu Co., Ltd., SUS410 drill screws) were obtained by passivating the screws (Sakamoto Kogyo Co., Ltd.). The rust-preventive oil and fat composition 2 was placed in a beaker (45 mm x 78 mm) and heated to 35°C to obtain an oil and fat composition. The 10 screws described above were placed in the beaker and immersed for 10 minutes. The screws were then placed in a basket. To adjust the film thickness, the removed screw was heated and centrifuged and dried using a centrifugal drying tank (manufactured by Kida Seiko Co., Ltd., product name: manual wax device), to obtain a screw 2 having a layer (average film thickness 33 μm) formed from the rust-preventive oil composition 2. The average film thickness is not particularly limited, but is usually in the range of 1 μm to 100 μm, preferably in the range of 10 μm to 75 μm, and more preferably in the range of 25 μm to 50 μm.

[0112] The screws obtained in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 were subjected to FCK test method A (10 cycles) and Test Example 2 (tapping torque test) from the corrosion resistance test of Test Example 1. The total score of the evaluations in Test Example 1 (corrosion resistance test) and Test Example 2 (tapping torque test) was calculated, and an overall evaluation was made according to the following criteria. <Overall rating> ◎: 10 or more 〇: More than 8 and less than 10 △: More than 6 and less than 8 ×:6 or less
