초록
2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFEA)과 hydrofluoroether (HFE)를 혼합하여 비수계 세정제를 제조하고 이들의 혼합비에 따른 물성과 세정성의 영향을 연구하였다. 또한 TFEA를 기초로 하고 비이온 계면활성제, 가용화제와 빌더를 첨가한 수계 세정제를 제조하고 이들의 세정능력을 비교하여 CFC-113, 1,1,1-TCE에 대한 대체 가능성을 평가하였다. 오염 물질로 수용성이거나 친수성, 지용성이거나 친유성인 각기 다른 플럭스, 절삭유, 그리스, 불소계 오일 등을 선정하고, 세정시간에 따른 오염물질의 중량변화를 비교하여 각 세정제의 세정능력을 비교함으로써 대체세정제로서의 TFEA를 기초로 한 세정제의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 TFEA와 HFE를 주성분으로 하여 제조한 비수계 세정제는 플럭스와 불소계 오염물에 우수한 세정성을 보여주었지만 그리스 세정에서는 세정성이 떨어졌다. 이에 비하여 TFEA를 기초로 하고 비이온 계면활성제, 가용화제, 빌더 등을 첨가하여 제조한 수계세정제는 일정한 배합 조건에서 플럭스와 그리스 제거에 매우 효과적이었다. 따라서 TFEA를 기초로 한 수계 및 비수계 세정제는 특정 오염물질에 대하여 좋은 세정력을 보여 주어 CFC-113, 1,1,1,-TCE 등의 대체세정제로의 가능성을 보여주었다.
Non-aqueous cleaning agents were formulated with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFEA) and hydrofluoroether (HFE), and their physical properties and cleaning abilities were examined. TFEA-based aqueous cleaning agents were also formulated with nonionic surfactants, hydrotropes and builders, and their cleaning abilities were compared. Possibilities of these cleaning agents as substitutes for CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE were finally evaluated. In this work, fluxes, cutting oils, greases, and fluoric oils were selected as model contaminants for cleaning experiments. These contaminants have different properties of water-solubility or hydrophilicity, and fat-solubility or lypophilicity. Cleaning abilities of TFEA-based cleaning agents were analyzed and compared through the measurement of contaminant weight changes as a function of cleaning time, and their possibilities as alternative cleaning agents were evaluated. As a result, it was shown that TFEA and HFE-based non-aqueous cleaning agents have quite a good cleaning agents were evaluated. As a result, it was shown that TFEA and HFE-based non-aqueous cleaning agents have quite a good cleaning power for fluxes and fluorine soils but low one for greases. And TFEA-based agueous cleaning agents which consisted of nonionic surfactants, hydrotrope, and builders were very effective for cleaning fluxes and greases under certain formulation conditions. Thus, it was revealed that the TFEA-based cleaning agents were very effective for cleaning specific contaminants and can be used as substitutes for CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE in some industrial applications.
