Description

Non-Flammable Cleaning Composition {NON-FLAMMABLE CLEANER COMPOSITION}

The present invention relates to a non-flammable cleaning composition, in particular to a non-flammable cleaning composition used for flux cleaning of printed boards, electronic components, and the like, and degreasing of electronic and mechanical components.

For printed circuit boards and electronic components used in electronic devices that focus on reliability, if flux residues are attached after soldering, the flux residues may be absorbed for a long period of time, or dust or dust may adhere to the flux residues to insulate the insulation between the conductors. In addition to deterioration, it also causes adverse effects such as generating corrosion products. For this reason, these printed circuit boards and electronic components were wash | cleaned after soldering.

In the case of parts used in precision machines, if cutting oil adhered during cutting and lubricants adhered during plastic processing remain during manufacturing, the parts are rusted or slid smoothly after assembling the parts. It may cause defects such as not being lost. For this reason, the parts for precision machines were also wash | cleaned after processing.

Conventionally, cleaning agents, such as freon and 1,1,1- trichloroethane, which melt | dissolve flux and an oil well were used for the washing | cleaning of these electronic components and mechanical components. However, detergents such as freon and 1,1,1-trichloroethane destroy the ozone layer surrounding the earth, reaching the earth with a large amount of ultraviolet rays, causing human skin cancer, cataracts, and polluting groundwater. Therefore, its use has been regulated in the 1988 Montreal Protocol. In addition, chlorine-based solvents such as methylene chloride, which are more easily decomposed than freon and 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and have a low ozone depletion coefficient, have been used. However, these volatile organic solvents decompose to generate CO ₂ , resulting in global warming. It becomes impossible to use because it causes. Since Freon, 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane, etc. cannot be used in this way, in recent years, many new cleaners, such as a substitute freon and a substitute ethane, have been proposed instead.

Although non-regulated detergents are also compatible detergents such as terpene compounds used in admixture with water, organic solvents such as IPA need to be used for drying printed boards, and IPAs used for drying the compliance cleaners are Freon 12 and Compared with methylene chloride and the like, the drying property is slower, and staining tends to occur after washing, which causes a problem in appearance.

The present applicant has mixed 85 to 99.9% by mass of a halogen solvent having 4 or less carbon atoms, a boiling point of 100 ° C. or less, a flash point of 11 ° C. or more, and a rust preventive agent such as metalx of Yuka Sangyo Kabushiki Kaisha (Nipbon Yushi Kabushikiisha, at the time of application). And a retainer cleaner for use in an automatic soldering apparatus (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-128591).

Furthermore, a halogenated solvent having a carbon number of 4 or less and a boiling point of 100 ° C. or less and a rust preventive agent such as metalx of 0.1 to 15% by mass of Yugaku Sangyo Co., Ltd., and further having a boiling point of 350 ° C. or lower such as alcohol, hydrocarbon, or ether A ternary cleaning agent is disclosed, in which a cleaning effect of a flux to which a flammable organic solvent is added is disclosed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-292393).

Also, although not applicant, nitroalkanes, ethers, epoxides are used in cleaning compositions containing brominated hydrocarbons represented by C _n H _{2n +1} Br, C _n H _{2m -1} Br (n is at least 4, m is at least 2). And the cleaning composition which added the stabilizer containing amines are disclosed (Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 7-150196).

Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-128591 Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-292393 Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-150196

In Patent Literature 1, although a rust preventive agent coexists in order to solve the problem which a halogen-type solvent reacts with aluminum or magnesium and corrodes a metal, the metal Rex Co., Ltd. product made by Yugaku Sangyo Kabushiki Kaisha used as a rust preventive agent is originally made of steel, etc. For the anticorrosive for mechanical parts, as in Patent Literature 1, no problem occurs in the cleaning of the stainless steel retainer of the automatic soldering apparatus, but when used for cleaning the printed board, the insulation resistance value after cleaning decreases and leakage failure occurs. . Patent Literature 2 is an invention in which an organic solvent such as isopropyl alcohol is added to Patent Literature 1 because the halogen-based solvent has high solubility in resin components such as rosin, but low washability of ionic components such as an activator component. The use of a rust preventive agent such as Rex does not solve the problem that the insulation resistance of the printed circuit board is lowered after cleaning. This problem was not found at the time of filing, but since it was found later, the invention of Patent Literature 2 was withdrawn without filing a request for examination.

In order to solve the problem in which the halogen-based solvent invades aluminum and magnesium, a stabilizer selected from nitroalkanes, ethers, epoxides, and amines is added, but the cleaning composition of Patent Document 3 is used. As a method of using nitroalkane stabilizers such as nitroethane and nitropropane, the cleaning agent tends to be acidic, and Patent Document 3 also tends to lower the insulation resistance of the printed board after cleaning. In addition, stabilizers of nitroalkanes lack stability and are prone to degradation, and the corrosion protection of aluminum or magnesium is also reduced when the nitro compound causes degradation.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that a conventional halogen-based cleaner has a problem in stability, and when used for cleaning a printed board, a lowering of insulation resistance is likely to occur, and the present invention is a bromine-based cleaner which solves these problems. To provide.

The inventors have found that alkene hydrocarbons having a double bond and alkyne hydrocarbons having a triple bond have a function as a stabilizer by introducing bromine generated when the bromine solvent is decomposed into the double bond and the triple bond. The present invention has been completed.

The present invention is a bromide selected from n-propyl bromide, methylene bromide, bromochloromethane, n-butyl bromide, isobutyl bromide, sec-butyl bromide, ter-butyl bromide and an alkene hydrocarbon having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, and / Or a non-flammable cleaning composition comprising a mixture of alkyne-based hydrocarbons.

The bromine-based solvent used in the cleaning composition is suitable for washing the printed substrate with brominated hydrocarbons in which H of the hydrocarbon is replaced with Br. Such brominated hydrocarbons are generally stable, but have strong polarity, so that when the cleaning agent absorbs moisture and contains moisture, it is ionized and reacts with alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, aluminum, etc., and the alloys containing them are corroded. Throw it away. In the case of a printed board, since aluminum is used for a semiconductor and an electrolytic capacitor, it reacts with a bromine type cleaning composition and it corrodes. In the present invention, alkene-based hydrocarbons and alkyne-based hydrocarbons incorporated into brominated hydrocarbons function as stabilizers, and bromination of brominated hydrocarbons that are ionized and decomposed causes addition reactions to double bonds of alkene-based hydrocarbons and triple bonds of alkyne-based hydrocarbons. Bromine is introduced and does not generate free bromine that causes corrosion such as aluminum. In addition, since the brominated hydrocarbon has an effect as a nonflammable material, the cleaning composition of the present invention also has a feature of being nonflammable.

The non-flammable cleaning composition of the present invention is a highly reliable cleaning composition which does not lower the insulation resistance after cleaning and does not corrode alloys such as aluminum and magnesium even when used for cleaning printed boards. It is an excellent thing that does not accept the handling as dangerous goods in the same way.

The brominated hydrocarbon used in the present invention is preferably a relatively low molecular weight brominated hydrocarbon having 4 or less carbon atoms. When the molecular weight increases, the Kauri-Butanol index increases, and the cleaning property of resin components such as rosin in the flux component is good, but the cleaning property of ionic substances such as active agents in the flux component is deteriorated. For this reason, strong brominated hydrocarbons are suitable for flux cleaning. Suitable brominated hydrocarbons having 4 or less carbon atoms to remove the flux of the printed board of the present invention are n-propyl bromide, methylene bromide, bromochloromethane, n-butyl bromide, isobutyl bromide, sec-butyl bromide, ter-butyl Bromide. More preferably n-propyl bromide is optimal.

The stabilizer of the alkene hydrocarbon and the alkyne hydrocarbon added to the bromine solvent of the present invention preferably has 4 to 10 carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon stabilizers with less than 4 carbon atoms are gaseous and highly reactive, but when reacted with bromine, they form brominated hydrocarbons that exhibit strong acidity. These brominated hydrocarbons are easily separated into ions under the influence of moisture and the like, and the insulation resistance value after cleaning the printed board is deteriorated. It is also difficult to handle because it is a gas. For this reason, the stabilizer of an alkene-based hydrocarbon and an alkyne-based hydrocarbon added to the bromine-based solvent of the present invention needs to have 4 or more carbon atoms.

In addition, when the carbon number of the stabilizer of the alkene-based hydrocarbon and the alkyn-based hydrocarbon exceeds 10, the reaction with bromine is lowered, and the effect as a stabilizer is weakened. Therefore, bromine is easily decomposed, and the corrosiveness of plastics and rubber is strong. Moreover, when carbon number exceeds 10, a boiling point is high and it is a solid thing, and it is difficult to handle. For this reason, the stabilizer of an alkene-based hydrocarbon and an alkyne-based hydrocarbon added to the bromine-based solvent of the present invention needs to have 10 or less carbon atoms.

As the stabilizer of the alkene-based and alkyne-based hydrocarbons added to the bromine-based solvent suitable for the present invention, those having 6 to 7 carbon atoms are more preferable, and most preferably 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-hexine, 1-heptene are used. It is time to.

The addition of polar solvents such as low molecular alcohols and ketones to the cleaning composition of the present invention further improves the cleaning properties of ionic substances such as active agents in the flux component. In this case, 30 parts or less of addition is preferable with respect to a cleaning composition. If more than 30 parts is added, not only the detergency is deteriorated, but also flammability occurs, which requires attention to fire. More preferably, it is 10 parts addition.
