초록

CFC 세정제의 제3 세대 대체세정제로 평가되는 수소불화에테르(hydrofluoroether; HFE)는 불소분자를 함유하고 있어 표면장력이 낮고 습윤지수가 커서 미세입자제거와 불소계 오염물 제거에 우수하고 인화점이 없고 건조성이 뛰어난 물성을 가지고 있지만, 유기물의 용해력은 떨어져 유기 오염물 제거에는 효율적이지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 C5계 HFE인 HFE-7100 [CF3CF2CF2CF2OCH3]와 HFE-mec-f[CF3CHF= CF2OCH2CF3]에 유기물질의 용해력이 비교적으로 뛰어난 isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethyleneglycol monoether (EG), propyleneglycol monoethylether (PM)를 인화점이 나타나지 않는 최대량을 각각 첨가하여 C5계 HFE 기반의 배합세정제를 제조하여 물성과 여러 종류의 플럭스, 비수용성 절삭유, 불소계 오일에 대한 세정성 평가를 수행하였다. 실험 결과 C5계 기반의 배합세정제는 단일 불소계 세정제의 여러 가지 물리적 성질의 장점을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 C5계 기반의 배합세정제는 첨가된 용제에 따라 약간의 차이는 있지만 대체적으로 플럭스, 비수용성 절삭유, 불소계 오일에 우수한 세정력을 나타내어 여러 산업세정 분야에 적용가능성을 보여주었다.

영어초록

Hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) with fluoride molecules in their structure which are evaluated as the third generation replacement alternatives to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are known to be excellent for removal of nanoparticles and fluoride-type soils due to their low surface tension and high wetting index. In addition, HFEs have good physical properties with no flash point and excellent drying characteristics. But, HFEs also have shortcomings in that they are not effective for removal of organic soils due to their poor solubility in soil.
In this study, C5 HFE-based cleaning agents were formulated through addition of solvents such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethyleneglycol monoether (EG), propyleneglycol monoethylether (PM) to HFE-7100 [CF3CF2CF2CF2OCH3] or HFE-mec-f [CF3CHF=CF2OCH2CF3] with its maximum amount, respectively, in order to have no flash point for the safety in the working environment. These solvents are known to be excellent for dissolving organics in soil. Their physical properties and cleaning abilities for fluxes, water-insoluble cutting oils, and fluoride-type oils were evaluated and compared with those of other cleaning agents with single components.
The experimental results show that the HFE-based formulated cleaning agents have various good physical properties which are almost similar to those of a single type of HFE cleaner. They show excellent cleaning ability for fluxes, water-insoluble cutting oils, and fluoride-type oils. These results indicate that the HFE-based formulated cleaning agents can be applicable to various industrial cleaning fields because of their good physical properties and cleaning abilities for various soils.
