Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a solvent composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Resin materials such as urethane resins and epoxy resins are used in a wide range of industrial fields due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Cleaning of the manufacturing equipment and tools for these resin materials is an important factor that directly affects the efficiency of the manufacturing process and the quality of the product. The dispensers, piping, manufacturing furnaces, molds, etc. used in the manufacturing process of products using these resin materials are cleaned after use.

[0003] In conventional cleaning processes, chlorinated solvents such as methylene chloride and trichloroethylene have been widely used due to their excellent dissolving power and fast drying properties. However, these chlorinated solvents are highly toxic and pose serious health risks to workers. Furthermore, they have a significant negative impact on the environment, making their use discouraged in sustainable manufacturing processes.

[0004] In addition, flammable solvents such as acetone and thinner are also widely used, but because these are highly flammable, there are serious concerns about safety when using them, such as the risk of fire or explosion.

[0005] Furthermore, the use of high-boiling point solvents can cause poor drying properties, resulting in residual solvent remaining in the product during the manufacturing process, which can cause quality problems such as poor urethane curing and foaming.

[0006] Fluorinated solvents have been considered a promising alternative to mitigate these problems from the standpoints of their toxicity to the human body and safety under fire protection laws.

[0007] As a cleaning agent that solves the above problems, Patent Document 1 discloses a cleaning solvent composition that contains one or more solvents (A) selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol monomethyl ether and 1-propanol, and one or more solvents (B) selected from the group consisting of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, methyl nonafluorobutyl ether, and methyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether.

Examples of organic acids include carboxylic acids (including dicarboxylic acids) such as succinic acid, adipic acid, glutaric acid, sebacic acid, and maleic acid; and oxyacids (hydroxycarboxylic acids).

[0079] Flux may also be provided in the form of cream solder, which is a combination of soldering metal and rosin flux. Cream solder is a composition containing solder alloy powder, resin, activator, antioxidant, thixotropic agent, and solvent, and is composed of so-called metal powder and flux components.

[0080] The solvent composition is preferably used as a solvent composition for dissolving one or more components selected from the group consisting of polyol, polyisocyanate, uncured urethane resin, and uncured epoxy resin.

[0081] <Dissolution method> The method for dissolving the components using a solubilizer includes a step of contacting the components with the solubilizer. In the step of contacting the components with the solubilizer, the components are dissolved in the solubilizer. The contact time between the solubilizer and the components is not particularly limited as long as the desired effect can be achieved. The contact time is preferably 5 seconds to 24 hours, more preferably 10 seconds to 8 hours, and particularly preferably 10 minutes to 2 hours. The components can be sufficiently dissolved within the above range. All of the components may be dissolved to form a homogeneous phase with the solubilizer, or all or part of the components may be swollen by the solubilizer, forming a two-layer structure of the solubilizer and the swollen resin. It is preferable that all of the components are dissolved to form a homogeneous phase with the solubilizer. Furthermore, if the amount of the components to be dissolved exceeds the saturated solubility of the solubilizer, some of the components may remain undissolved.

[0082] The temperature of the dissolving agent when it is brought into contact with the component is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0 to 70°C, and particularly preferably 5 to 40°C.

[0083] [Use of solvent composition: cleaning agent] The solvent composition has excellent solubility for oil, flux, polyol, polyisocyanate, and resin, and can therefore be used as a cleaning agent for cleaning objects having one or more substances selected from the group consisting of oily stains, oil, flux, polyol, polyisocyanate, and resin attached thereto. Furthermore, the solvent composition has excellent solubility for resin compositions containing additives blended into resins, and therefore the solvent composition can also be used as a cleaning agent for additives contained in resin compositions. Furthermore, the solvent composition has excellent drying properties, and can therefore be used as a cleaning agent for cleaning objects having dust attached thereto. Here, the oil, flux, resin, polyol, and polyisocyanate are as described above.

[0084] <<Dust>> Dust is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include solid matter floating in the air (for example, solid particles of 5 mm or less).

[0085] <<Oily stains>> Oily stains include oil stains and resin stains. Oily stains may contain dust. The oils and resins that are the raw materials for oily stains are as described above. Oily stains include non-polar oily stains, oily stains caused by polar components, and oily stains caused by multiple components with different polarities, depending on the polarity of the oil. Furthermore, resin stains include non-polar resin stains, oily stains caused by polar components, and oily stains caused by multiple components with different polarities, depending on the polarity of the resin component and the components used in combination.

[0086] <Cleaning method> A cleaning method using a solvent composition (i.e., a method of using a cleaning agent) includes contacting the solvent composition with an object to be cleaned. The object to be cleaned has resin, oily stains, oil, and / or dust attached to its substrate. In the cleaning method, by contacting the solvent composition with the object to be cleaned, the resin, oily stains, oil, and / or dust attached to the substrate are removed from the substrate. The phenomenon of the solvent composition removing the cured resin attached to the substrate is believed to be due to the following: When the resin comes into contact with the solvent composition, all or part of the resin is dissolved and / or swelled and softened at the surface of the resin and / or the interface between the substrate and the resin, thereby reducing the adhesion between the substrate and the resin, thereby removing the resin. Note that when the oily stain contains solid stains such as dust, the solid stains can be removed simultaneously with the removal of the oily stains.

[0087] <Base material> The material of the substrate is not particularly limited, but examples include metals, fibers, glass, ceramics, elastomers, and plastics. Metals include silver, zinc, nickel, iron, aluminum, copper, manganese, magnesium, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys (alloys of aluminum and one or more metals consisting of copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium, zinc, and nickel). Elastomers include rubbers such as nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, urethane rubber, silicone rubber, and fluororubber. Plastics include polypropylene resin, polyethylene resin, and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin. The substrate may be plastic as long as the aforementioned oily stains, oil, resin, or dust can be removed from the substrate.

[0088] Specific examples of the substrate include devices and parts for obtaining a cured product of the resin, metal processed products, electric and electronic parts, optical parts, automobile parts, machine parts, semiconductor parts, and display parts.

[0089] Electrical and electronic components include wiring substrates such as printed circuit boards and ceramic substrates. Optical components include optical lenses (e.g., camera lenses) and components for optical lenses (e.g., camera housings). Automotive components include metal parts used for automobile shafts, frame components, exterior components, etc. Mechanical components include bearings for vacuum pumps, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, cleaning equipment, motors, fans, etc., bearings for precision machinery components such as watches, and rollers for printing presses. Semiconductor-related components include electronic components such as IC chips and resistors. Display components include liquid crystal substrates, organic EL substrates, inorganic EL substrates, etc. The shapes of these components are not limited to plate-like members, but can also be pipe-shaped members or elongated members with circular or rectangular cross sections, or members with other complex shapes.

[0090] The object to be cleaned may be an object for daily maintenance, that is, an object to be cleaned once or twice a day, or an object for overhaul, that is, an object to be cleaned once every six months to one year, for example.

[0091] The method for contacting the solvent composition with the object to be cleaned (i.e., the cleaning method) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include wiping cleaning (including hand wiping cleaning and mechanical wiping cleaning), brush cleaning, immersion cleaning (liquid phase cleaning), steam cleaning (gas phase cleaning), spray cleaning (including spraying with a cleaning aerosol composition), shower cleaning, ultrasonic immersion cleaning, pouring cleaning, and combinations thereof. The cleaning method is preferably wiping cleaning. Therefore, the solvent composition is preferably a wiping cleaner.

[0092] Immersion cleaning involves immersing a part or all of an object to be cleaned in a solvent composition, thereby bringing the solvent composition into contact with the object to be cleaned, thereby cleaning the surface of the object. In immersion cleaning, in order to enhance the cleaning effect, means such as stirring, shaking, ultrasonic vibration, or air bubbling may be combined with immersion. The conditions for ultrasonic vibration and air bubbling can be appropriately set from known conditions.

[0093] A cleaning method using wiping cleaning includes cleaning the surface of an object to be cleaned by wiping using a solvent composition. A cleaning method using wiping cleaning is a cleaning method that provides a stronger cleaning effect than immersion cleaning due to the application of physical force by wiping. Examples of wiping cleaning include hand wiping and mechanical wiping cleaning. Hand wiping cleaning is not particularly limited, and may be performed by bringing paper, cotton, cloth, cotton swab, etc. soaked in the solvent composition into contact with the area where oily stains and / or oil are attached and rubbing with the hand; or by bringing paper, cotton, cloth, etc. soaked in the solvent composition into contact with the area where oily stains and / or oil are attached and rubbing with the hand using a plate or rod. Alternatively, after spraying the solvent composition, wiping with cotton, cloth, etc. may be performed. Mechanical wiping cleaning may be a cleaning method in which the above-mentioned hand wiping cleaning is performed mechanically. In wiping cleaning, the number of times the object to be cleaned is wiped is not particularly limited as long as it is enough to remove oily stains, oil, resin and / or dust adhering to the object to be cleaned, and may be one or more times.

[0094] A cleaning method using brush cleaning involves scrubbing the surface of the object to be cleaned using a solvent composition and a brush. Brush cleaning is a cleaning method that provides a stronger cleaning effect than immersion cleaning due to the physical force applied by the brush. Examples of brush cleaning include manual and mechanical brush cleaning. Brush materials may be chemical fibers, animal fibers, plant fibers, or metal wire. Examples of chemical fibers include nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, vinyl chloride, Teflon (registered trademark), polyphenylene sulfide, and fluororesin, and may contain abrasive grains, copper sulfide, elenon emulsion, etc. Examples of animal fibers include horsehair, hog hair, wool, deer hair, and human hair. Examples of plant fibers include tampico, palm, fern, palm, calcaya, sisal, and palmyra. Examples of metal wire include hard steel wire, hardened wire, gold-plated wire, iron wire, stainless steel wire, brass wire, phosphor bronze, and beryllium copper. The cleaning may be carried out with a brush dipped in the solvent composition, or may be carried out with a spray wash followed by cleaning with a brush.

[0095] The cleaning method by spray washing involves cleaning the surface of the object to be washed by spraying the solvent composition onto it. The cleaning method by spray washing is a cleaning method that has a stronger cleaning effect than immersion washing because a physical force is applied when the solvent composition is sprayed onto the surface of the object to be washed. In addition, since the solvent composition has an appropriate drying property, dirt can be efficiently lifted and removed during spray washing. Examples of methods for spraying the solvent composition onto the surface of the object to be washed include a method in which the solvent composition is dispensed into a container such as a bucket or a tub, a shower, a spray, a jet, an aerosol, etc.

[0096] The cleaning time, which corresponds to the contact time between the solvent composition and the object to be cleaned, is not particularly limited as long as it is a time that can remove the components from the substrate. For example, the cleaning time may be 1 second or more and 2 hours or less. The temperature of the solvent composition in each cleaning is also not particularly limited, and may be -10°C or more and the boiling point of the solvent composition or less, and is preferably -5 to 50°C.

[0097] <Further Aspect of the Cleaning Method: Cleaning Method for Two-Component Resin Mixing and Dispensing Machine> The cleaning method may be a method for cleaning a two-component resin mixer / dispenser. The cleaning method for a two-component resin mixer / dispenser is characterized in that the above-mentioned solvent composition is used as a cleaning agent. The two-component resin can be appropriately selected from the above-mentioned resins. The resin used in the two-component resin mixer / dispenser is preferably a two-component urethane resin and / or a two-component epoxy resin.

[0098] Examples of two-component resin mixer / dispenser include a device that mixes using a static mixer, a device that mixes using a dynamic mixer with a single rotor, and a device equipped with two rod-shaped rotors. In addition to the above-mentioned dispensers, examples of two-component resin mixer / dispenser include tools, containers, devices, etc. attached to the dispensers.

[0099] The cleaning method for a two-component resin mixer / dispenser preferably includes a cleaning method for a mixing section and a nozzle section in which uncured resin remains, among the two-component curing type dispensing devices. In this case, cleaning of the two-component resin mixer / dispenser is carried out after one to several shots of resin are dispensed and before the next resin is dispensed, after molding using the dispenser is completed, when the color of the resin is changed, etc., and after dispensing of the resin is stopped.

[0100] The cleaning method for a two-component resin mixer / dispenser is characterized by using the above-mentioned solvent composition as a cleaning agent. The two-component resin mixer / dispenser usually has a tank, piping, and a mixing nozzle. The cleaning method for a two-component resin mixer / dispenser preferably includes the following steps 1 to 4. Step 1: Supplying a cleaning agent into a two-component resin mixer / dispenser; Step 2: cleaning the inside of the tank, piping, and / or mixing nozzle using the cleaning agent supplied in Step 1; Step 3: Discharging the cleaning agent; and Step 4: Optionally, drying the inside of the tank, piping and / or mixing nozzle by air blowing, spraying with a dredging shot and / or using a rinse agent.

[0101] Step 1 is a step of supplying a cleaning agent into a two-component resin mixer / dispenser. A specific method for supplying the cleaning agent can be appropriately selected depending on the shape of the two-component resin mixer / dispenser.

[0102] Step 2 is a step of cleaning the inside of the tank, piping, and / or mixing nozzle using the cleaning agent supplied in Step 1. Specific cleaning methods include wiping, immersion, stirring, brushing, spraying, ultrasonic cleaning, pressurized flow, backwashing, and combinations thereof, and can be appropriately selected depending on the shape of the two-component resin mixer / dispenser, etc. The temperature in the cleaning method is as described above.

[0103] Step 3 is a step of discharging the cleaning agent. For example, a solvent composition is supplied to the dispenser, and the uncured resin remaining in the mixing section and nozzle section can be removed by passing the solvent composition through a path through which the resin components are supplied and then discharging the solvent composition. This results in a cleaned dispenser.

[0104] Step 4 is a step of optionally drying the inside of the tank, piping, and / or mixing nozzle by air blowing, a dredging shot, and / or rinsing with a rinse agent. The drying conditions are as described above. The specific drying conditions are as described above. [Example]

[0122] The results are summarized in the following Tables 1 to 7. In the tables, "-" indicates that the test was not performed.

[0123] [Table 1]

[0124] [Table 2]

[0125] [Table 3]

[0126] [Table 4]

[0127] [Table 5]

[0128] [Table 6]

[0129] [Table 7]

[0130] Tables 1 to 7 reveal the following: The solvent compositions of the examples were excellent in solubility for various resins (polyols, polyisocyanates, urethane resins, and epoxy resins). In addition, the solvent compositions of the examples were excellent in drying properties.

[0131] Test Examples 1 to 3 show that the solvent compositions of the Examples have excellent solubility for polyol and polyisocyanate, which are the main components of urethane resin, and can dissolve one-component urethane resin. Additionally, Test Example 6 shows that the solvent compositions of the Examples were able to clean urethane resin adhering to the inside of a tube. Therefore, it can be said that the solvent compositions of the Examples can dissolve each component of the urethane resin when it is a two-component resin. Furthermore, when the urethane resin is used in a two-component resin mixer / dispenser, it can be said that the solvent compositions of the Examples can clean the tank, nozzle, and / or piping of the two-component resin mixer / dispenser.

[0132] A comparison of Examples 1 to 4 and 7 to 9 showed that when the content of component (A-1) was 50 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of components (A), (B), and (C), the solubility of various resins (polyol, polyisocyanate, uncured urethane resin, and uncured epoxy resin) was superior. Comparison of Examples 8, 9, 20, 21, 25, and 26 showed that the drying properties were better when the content of component (A) was 30 parts by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of component (A), component (B), and component (C). Comparing Examples 8, 20, and 25 with Examples 27, 31, 35, 38, and 41, when the content of component (C) was 10 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the total of component (A), component (B), and component (C), the solubility in the semi-cured urethane resin was superior. Comparing Examples 27 to 28, 31 to 32, and 35 to 42, the drying properties were better when the total content of components (c-2-2), (c-2-3), and (C-3) was 15 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the total of components (A), (B), and (C).

[0133] The following can be seen from Tables 5 to 7. The solvent compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 33 had poor solubility for various resins (polyol, polyisocyanate, uncured urethane resin, and uncured epoxy resin). The solvent composition of Comparative Example 34 did not hold together as a composition. In particular, Comparative Example 32 had poor drying properties due to the use of alcohols with a boiling point exceeding 180°C.
