Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process employing an aqueous alkaline solution for cleaning tin surfaces.
  • the invention is particularly concerned to provide a corrosion inhibitor for use in the aqueous alkaline cleaning solution which will deter or inhibit etching of the tin surface.
  • a corrosion inhibitor for use in the aqueous alkaline cleaning solution which will deter or inhibit etching of the tin surface.
  • the invention is applicable to the removal of contaminants from all kinds of tin surface, it will here be described in connection primarily with the cleaning of tin-plated surfaces, such as tin cans, which have been soiled with organic lubricants of the kind that are applied to the tin surface as drawing aids during cold-forming operations.
  • Cleaning is an essential preliminary to many surface-finishing operations. It is for example normally necessary to clean any metal surface prior to corrosion-preventive treatments, and prior to the application of organic finishes to the surface; and cleaning is especially important in the case of metal surfaces to which organic materials have been recently applied as an aid to cold-forming. Such organic lubricating materials must be removed in order to make the metal surface suitably receptive to an organic or inorganic finish.
  • Circular blanks of tin-plated steel (which, due to the high cost of tin, generally have only a thin layer of tin plating) are first cupped and then passed through several drawing dies, so as thus to "iron” the cup-in order thus to form a unitary side-wall and can-bottom structure.
  • Any can produced by this process will normally have a fairly characteristics shape, i.e. it will be a thin-walled, thick-bottomed container having a generally uniform wall thickness; and such cans will be referred to herein as "DI" (drawn-and-ironed) cans.
  • the forming operations carried out during the manufacture of DI cans are normally assisted, and indeed the dies and the metallic surface are protected, by the application of lubricants to the tin-plate surface prior to or during the forming operation.
  • the lubricants which are thus applied to the tin surface usually consists of various types of mineral and vegetable oils and heavy metal soaps; and they must be removed if it is desired to have a clean surface in order to assure adhesion of a subsequently applied sanitary lacquer and/or decorative varnish.
  • Di tin-plated containers which can be serious, is that the drawing operation stretches the tin-plate surface, thereby exposing some of the underlying metal.
  • the underlying metal may very probably be a ferrous metal, such as iron or one of many iron alloys or of a wide variety of steels; and its exposure may easily lead to corrosion.
  • An effective cleaner for tin-plate is one which indeed will provide a water-break-free surface on the tin (a water-break-free surface is one which is sufficiently freed from lubricants, soil, and other contaminants so that it will maintain a continuous film of water) but which will do so without unduly etching the tin and without promoting corrosion of the underlying metal.
  • Etching of the tin surface results from chemical attack of the cleaning solution thereon and results in a roughened and dull surface. Inevitably etching also removes some of the corrosion-protective layer of tin from the underlying metal surface, thereby diminishing the anti-corrosion qualities of the tinned surface, and aggravating any corrosion problems arising from exposure of the underlying metal. In the case of say a beverage can, where a smooth, shiny appearance is wanted and maximum safety of the contents is necessary, it is clear that etching and/or corrosion will be highly undesirable.
  • Etching and corrosion can be an especially severe problem with conventional cleaners for tin-plate when during the cleaning operation line-stoppage can expose some of the cleaned cans to the cleaner for excessive periods, which can lead to etching and corrosion of the underlying metal surface (no matter whether exposed by stretching or by etching) so severe as to render the cans quite unacceptable for use. Apart from appearance, any corrosion and blemishes on the surface will adversely affect the adhesion of any chemical conversion coating or sanitary lacquer coating that may thereafter be applied to it.
  • the cleaners which have been found to be most suitable for producing the desired water-break-free surface on the tin are alkaline cleaners, such as aqueous solutions of alkali metal salts of silicates, phosphate, carbonates and borates- but these all have the undesirable tendency to etch the surface. Efforts have therefore already been made to discover additives which will help to inhibit etching of the tin surface under the alkaline conditions employed.
  • the inhibited alkaline cleaning solutions hitherto suggested have mostly required the use of long periods (for instance up to 15 minutes) and/or relatively high temperatures (at least 140°F [60°C] and often above 150°F [about 65°C]) to achieve satisfactory cleaning.
  • the suggested inhibitors give rise to waste-disposal and other problems arising from their toxicity or other characteristics.
  • United States Patent No. 4,094,701 discloses a process for cleaning a tin surface, without substantially etching it, using an aqueous alkaline solution containing an alkaline component as well as one or more surfactants and, serving as inhibitor, an organic tannin. This solution is sprayed on to the object to be cleaned at elevated temperature for about one to about two minutes.
  • the pH of the cleaner is at least 9, and because higher pH values tend gradually to inactivate the tannin it is preferably between 10 and 13, and most preferably between 10 and 10.5.
  • this cleaner is to be employed at temperatures of 140°F (60°C) and upwards.
  • 4,094,701 does disclose a cleaning solution that can be used for cleaning tin. surfaces, without etching, at temperatures below boiling in periods of less than two minutes, nevertheless the use of temperatures in excess of 140°F (60°C) is still economically disadvantageous.
  • the recommended alkaline components include alkali metal borates and phosphates, both of which may give rise to environmental problems and, hence, plant-effluent treatment problems.
  • the invention provides a process for removing lubricants or other soiling contaminants from a tin surface without visibly etching it, in which the surface is brought into contact for a sufficient time at the chosen temperature with an aqueous alkaline cleaning solution having a pH in the range of from 11 to 13 and containing effective amounts of an alkaline component and of an inhibitor, characterized in that the inhibitor is or includes onr or more substituted or unsubstituted quinones and/or substituted or unsubstituted dihydroxybenzenes, the or each substituent on the quinone or dihydroxybenzene being hydroxy, halo, alkyl, alkoxy, nitro or cyano.
  • tin refers not merely to pure tin metal but also to alloys where in tin predominates; and the term “tin surface” refers to the surface of not only articles made of tin but also those plated with tin.
  • an -.”effective amount of the alkaline component we mean such a concentration as will substantially remove the lubricants or other soiling contaminants, leaving a water-break-free tin surface.
  • an “effective amount” of the inhibitor we mean such a concentration as is able substantially to inhibit etching of the tin surface.
  • the substituted or unsubstituted dihydroxybenzenes are otherwise substituted or unsubstituted benzenes which bear at least two hydroxy substituents, in ortho-, meta- or para- positions, and perhaps more than two such hydroxy substitutents arranged either symmetrically or asymmetrically.
  • Exemplary quinones and substituted quinones useful as inhibitors in this invention include the substituted and unsubstituted quinones according to general formulae II and III below: in which R 1' R,, R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, halo, nitro or cyano group.
  • Exemplary substituted or unsubstituted polyhydroxybenzene inhibitors include for instance catechol (ortho-dihydroxybenzene) and/or resorcinol (meta-dihydroxybenzene) and/or hydroquinone (1,4-dihydro-benzoquinone or para-dihydroxybenzene) and/or hydroxy-hydroquinone (1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene) and/or 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene and/or 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene.
  • catechol ortho-dihydroxybenzene
  • resorcinol metal-dihydroxybenzene
  • hydroquinone 1,4-dihydro-benzoquinone or para-dihydroxybenzene
  • hydroxy-hydroquinone 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene and/or 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene.
  • Preferred inhibitors for use in this invention include 1,2,3-benzene-triol and dihydroxybenzenes as well as quinones, such as 1,4-benzenediol and 1,4-benzoquinone.
  • the inhibitor must naturally be added in an amount effective to inhibit etching of the tin surface.
  • the necessary minimum concentration of the inhibitor will increase with the concentration of the alkaline component.
  • the concentration of inhibitor in the solution will advantageously be at least about 0.02 g/I; and it will preferably be in the range of from about 0.02 g/I to about 0.06 g/I. There is no objection to the use of concentrations greater than 0.06 g/I, but generally the resultant increase in cost is not repaid by a greater inhibition of etching.
  • Hardness is a characteristic of water, generally accepted to represent the total concentration of calcium and magnesium ions-although other polyvalent cations, seldom present in more than trace amounts, may sometimes also contribute to hardness.
  • the determination of hardness can be carried out by titration, as described in "Standard Methods of Test for Hardness in Water", Designation D 1126-67 (Reapproved 1974) published by the American Society for Testing Materials.
  • Hardness may conveniently be expressed in parts per million (ppm) of calcium carbonate equivalent; the higher the value, the greater being the hardness.
  • ppm parts per million
  • the hardness may be only about 50 ppm to about 100 ppm, but it may increase to about 300 ppm where the water runs somewhere through limestone deposits, and in some areas of the Midwest of the United States the hardness may be as much as from about 400 ppm to about 500 ppm.
  • Polyelectrolytes are high molecular weight electrolytes; and they are either of natural origin, such as proteins, or they are of a synthetic nature, such as polymerized organic acids. Since the polyelectrolytes in solution do not dissociate to give a uniform distribution of positive and negative ions, as do simple electrolytes, the ions of one sign are bound to the polymer chain. Thus, for instance, the negative charges may be in the polymer chain, and only positive ions will be free to diffuse through the solvent.
  • the polyelectrolytes used in the solutions used in this invention can be any of the compounds known to prevent precipitation of the minerals which cause water-hardness, but certain preferences can usefully be borne in mind. Because phosphates may be regarded as environmentally-objectionable, we prefer to use a polyelectrolyte which does not contain phosphates, since then the plant effluent will not contain phosphates. We also prefer to avoid the use of the previously employed alkali metal tripolyphosphates, because these may have the deleterious effect of promoting etching or de-tinning.
  • polyelectrolytes which we prefer for use in the cleaning solutions are polyelectrolytes such as Gantrez S-95 ("Gantrez” is a trade mark), manufactured by GAF Corporation, and Tamol 960 (“Tamol” is a trade mark) manufactured by Rohm and Haas Company.
  • the polyelectrolytes will preferably be present in a concentration which is effective substantially to prevent precipitation of the calcium and magnesium ions that are the primary cause of water-hardness. Generally, the greater the hardness of the water the greater will be the desired concentration of the polyelectrolyte.
  • concentration of polyelectrolyte will preferably be at least about 0.1 g/I, and most advantageously in the range of from about 0.1 g/I to about 1 g/I. There is no objection to the use of concentrations in excess of 1 /gl, but in our experience such higher concentrations do not result in any significant improvement.
  • One or more surfactants or wetting agents can usefully be added to the aqueous alkaline cleaning solutions used in the present invention, so as to enhance the performance of the cleaning solution in a conventional manner-but the presence or absence of surfactants has no noticeable effect as regards either inhibiting or promoting the etching of the tin surface by the cleaning solution.
  • the surfactants and wetting agents employed in the cleaning solutions can for instance be ethoxylated straight-chain alcohols and octyl or nonyl phenoxy polyethoxyethanol.
  • Nonionic surfactants are usually preferred since they are low-foaming.
  • the cleaning solutions will preferably contain at least about 0.2 g/I of the surfactant(s); particularly preferred concentrations are in the range of from about 0.2 g/I to about 0.5 g/I.
  • the cleaning solution must have a pH value (determined at a solution temperature of about 27°C) within the range of from about 11 to about 13; and will preferably have a pH value within the range of from about 12 to about 12.8.
  • the alkaline component used in the cleaning solution used in the process of this invention may be of any kind known to produce an alkaline solution when dissolved in water; but it will preferably not be an environmentally-objectionable one.
  • the alkaline component therefore can advantageously be one or a mixture of more than one alkali metal hydroxides and/or carbonates and/or silicates and/or ammonium hydroxides and/or carbonates.
  • a particlarly preferred alkaline component is a mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium metasilicate and either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or both.
  • the alkaline component must naturally be present in a concentration which will be effective substantially to remove lubricants or other such soiling contaminants.
  • the minimum effective amount may be readily determined in the conventional manner.
  • the concentration of alkaline component in the solution will preferably be at least about 2 g/I, and more advantageously will be in the range of from about 3 g/I to about 5 g/I. Greater concentrations may be employed, but the benefit to be gained thereby is generally not significant.
  • Tin surfaces may be cleaned by contacting them with the aqueous alkaline cleaning solutions for a sufficient time at the chosen temperature to remove lubricants or other such soiling contaminants therefrom, without visibly etching the tin surface.
  • the solution temperature should be at least about 100°F (38°C); and it will preferably be in the range of from about 100°F to about 130°F (38° to 54°C) and above all from about 115°F to about 125°F (46° to 52°C).
  • the optimum temperature may tend to be somewhat higher for solutions with low concentrations of alkaline components than for solutions with higher concentrations thereof-or, put another way, the optimum treatment temperature tends somewhat to vary inversely with the pH of the cleaning solution.
  • the necessary period of treatment will generally depend on the method of application. Spraying is the preferred method, and when used the treatment time will tend to decrease as the spraying pressure increases. Operating at currently conventional spraying pressures of about 25 psig (pounds per square inch, gauge pressure) to about 35 psig (1.76 to 2.46 kg/cm 2 ) it should be found that treatment times of from about 40 seconds up to about one minute may be sufficient to produce a water-break-free surface. If one employs the already-known but little used spraying pressures of 60 psig to 100 psig (4.22 to 7.03 kg/cm 2 ) then the treatment times may be reduced, perhaps to as little as from about 1 to 5 seconds.
  • the treatment time may need to be increased the longer the interval between manufacture of the tin-plated metal article and the cleaning thereof. With drawn-and-ironed tin-plated steel cans, an interval between manufacture and cleaning of as little as fifteen minutes may necessitate a noticeably increased cleaning time.
  • the necessary treatment time may also vary depending on the type of lubricant used in the manufacturing process; some being more readily removed than others.
  • the clean surface will generally be rinsed at least once with tap water, and then may advantageously be rinsed with deionized water and dried at an elevated temperature, preferably one in the range of from about 350° to about 400°F (177°to250°C).
  • Such an aqueous concentrate may advantageously be formulated so that when added to water at a concentration in the range of from about 0.5% to about 2% by volume, and preferably in the range of from about 1% to about 2% by volume, it produces an aqueous alkaline cleaning solution having a pH of about 11 to about 13, and comprises an alkaline component in an amount effective substantially to remove contaminants from the tin surface, as well as one of the herein-defined inhibitors in an amount effective to inhibit etching of the surface.
  • the alkaline component will preferably constitute up to about 770 grams per litre, and advantageously from about 250 to about 500 grams per litre of the concentrate.
  • the inhibitor will preferably constitute at least about 2 grams per litre, and advantageously from about 2 to about 6 grams per litre of the concentrate.
  • the concentrate optionally but desirably will also contain polyelectrolyte(s) and/or surfactant(s).
  • the polyelectrolyte will desirably be present in a concentration within the range of from about 10 to about 20 grams per litre.
  • a solid cleaning composition may advantageously be formulated so that when added to water at a concentration of from about 3 g/I to about 7 g/I, and preferably from about 4.6 g/I to 6.7 g/I, it will produce an aqueous alkaline cleaning solution having a pH of about 11 to about 13 and contains an effective amount of an alkaline component and an effective amount of an inhibitor as defined above.
  • the alkaline component will preferably constitute at least about 15% by weight of the composition.
  • the inhibitor will preferably constitute at least about 0.1% by weight, and most advantageously from about 0.5% to about 2% by weight of the composition.
  • the composition optionally but desirably will also contain a polyelectrolyte, present preferably in a concentration of up to about 10% by weight, and most advantageously in a concentration of from about 3% to about 10% by weight of the composition.
  • the balance (if any) of the cleaning composition may consist of diluents and the like, that is to say compounds which can be regarded as inert with respect to any possible influence, either positive or negative, upon the cleaning and non-etching properties of the cleaning solutions of the invention.
  • diluents and the like that is to say compounds which can be regarded as inert with respect to any possible influence, either positive or negative, upon the cleaning and non-etching properties of the cleaning solutions of the invention.
  • a typical but merely illustrative example of such compounds is for instance sodium sulphate.
  • Di cans sets of "drawn-and-ironed" tin-plated steel cans (previously defined and hereinafter called Di cans) were contacted with the specified cleaning solution within 24 hours of their manufacture, and without any other treatment prior to contact with the cleaning solutions of the invention.
  • the cleaning solutions were made up from solid cleaning compositions having the components indicated in Table I below present in the percentages there shown. Each such composition is identified in Table I and elsewhere by a number and the subscript "c".
  • the solutions were made up by dissolving a specific amount, in grams, of each composition as indicated in Table II below to 6 litres of water, to form aqueous alkaline cleaning solutions having the concentrations of components (including surfactants) indicated in Table III below. Each such cleaning solution is identified in Table III and elsewhere by the number of the composition from which it has been made, coupled with the subscript "s".
  • the sets of cans were contacted with the cleaning solution by spraying them with the solutions at about 25 psi (1.76 kg/cm 2 ) for the periods and at the temperatures there stated; and afterwards the cans were then rinsed with water, and visually examined for etching and appearance.
  • Cleaning solutions 5s, 6s and 7s were prepared using tap water, and having the concentrations of components indicated in Table VI below.
