초록
불소 화합물인 TFEA (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol)와 HFE (hydrofluoroether)는 분자 내에 염소를 함유하지 않으므로 오존층을 파괴하지 않으며, HFC, HCFC계 세정제에 비하여 지구온난화 영향력도 낮고, 탄화수소계 세정제보다 열적으로 안정하여 차세대 CFC 대체세정제로 주목받고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 CFC-113, 1,1,1-TCE, HCFC-141b 등의 오존파괴물질인 염소계 세정제와 차세대 대체세정제인 TFEA, HFE-7100, HFE-7200의 물성과 세정력을 비교 평가하고, 현재 대체세정제로 사용하고 있는 IPA, methanol과의 물성, 세정력을 비교 평가하였다. 또한, TFEA를 기초로 하여 alcohols, HFEs와의 혼합 비수계세정제를 제조하고, 이들의 물리적 성질과 세정력을 측정하여 불소계 화합물의 대체세정제로서의 활용가능성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 TFEA와 HFEs는 현재 주요 기간산업에서 사용하는 다양한 오염물지릉 세정에서 염소계 세정제에 비하여 낮은 세정능력을 보여주었지만, 불소를 함유한 화합물이므로 불소함유 오일의 제거에는 우수한 세정력을 보였다. 또한 TFEA와 alcohols 또는 HFEs를 혼합하여 사용함으로써 플럭스와 절삭유에 대한 세정력을 100%까지 향상시킬 수 있어 불소계 화합물을 적절한 용제 또는 첨가제와 혼합하여 혼합세정제로 사용하면, 세정능력이 우수하고 환경친화적인 비수계세정제를 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
Fluoride-type cleaning agents such as TFEA (2,2,2-trifluoroethanol) and HFE (hydrofluoroether) are noticed to be next generation cleaning agents alternative to CFCs since they do not destruct ozones in the stratosphere due to no containment of chloride in the molecule, have lower global warming potential compared to HFCs and HCFCs, and are thermally stable compounds. Thus, the physical properties and cleaning agents were measured and compared with those of CFC-113, 1,1,1-TCE and HCFC-141b which are ozone destruction substances. They were also compared and evaluated with those of IPA and methanol which are currently employing as alternative cleaning agents. And TFEA-based cleaning agents consisted of TFEA and alcohols or HFEs were formulated, their physical properties and cleaning abilities were measured and their utilization as alternative cleaning agents was evaluated. As a result, TFEA and HFEs have lower cleaning ability for their removal of various soils compared to chloride-type cleaning agents, but they show excellent cleaning ability for Fluoride-type soils. And it is observed that the formulated cleaning agents of TFEA and alcohols or HFEs caused to increase cleaning ability of flux and unsoluble cutting oil more than 100% compared to their individual component. Therefore, the fluoride-type cleaning agents are expected to be utilized for development of environmental-friendly non aqueous cleaning agents with excellent cleaning ability if they are formulated with proper solvents or additives.
