Description

  The present invention relates to an aerosol-type film cleaner-forming composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to an aerosol-type film cleaner that can clean the surface of an object by rubbing the film obtained by jetting with a propellant against the object to be cleaned. The present invention relates to a film cleaner forming composition.

  Conventionally, an aerosol type cleaner is used to clean the surface of an object to be cleaned such as various OA equipment, furniture, and window glass. This cleaner is a cleaning solvent or chelate such as a surfactant or alcohol. It consists of a mixture in which a propellant such as a liquefied gas is mixed with a stock solution obtained by blending the agent with water, and this mixture is filled in an aerosol container with an injection valve. The object to be cleaned was sprayed directly onto the object to be cleaned in a mist and rubbed while spreading the cleaning liquid with a cloth or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, in such a cleaner, the cleaning liquid adheres to or scatters in the peripheral area other than the cleaning area of the object to be cleaned due to the spraying operation. There was a drawback of causing discoloration. In addition to the cleaner, it was inconvenient to handle because a separate cloth or the like for rubbing while developing the cleaning liquid had to be prepared.

JP 2003-27266 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the cleaning liquid does not scatter and there is no need to separately prepare an object that rubs the cleaning liquid, such as a cloth, and an aerosol-type film that can easily clean an object to be cleaned It is to provide a cleaner-forming composition.

  The basic problem-solving means of the present invention comprises a film-forming component for forming a flexible film, a cleaning component contained in the film-forming component, and a propellant, and is ejected by the propellant and impregnated with the cleaning component. Another object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol-type film cleaner forming composition characterized by forming a flexible film cleaner.

  In the basic problem-solving means of the present invention, the film-forming component preferably comprises a blend of a resin-containing aqueous solution, a higher alcohol, and a lubricating powder.

  The resin-containing aqueous solution of the film-forming component is typically an aqueous emulsion, and the resin component of this resin-containing aqueous solution forms the main body of the film. Further, as the higher alcohol, for example, one component selected from the group of higher alcohols such as lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, cetosterial alcohol, and behenyl alcohol, or a mixture of a plurality of components is used.

  The lubricating powder of the aerosol-type film forming component may be at least one of nylon powder and silicon powder having an average particle diameter of 1-20 μm. When this lubricating powder is cleaned by rubbing the flexible film formed by spraying on the object to be cleaned, the flexible film adheres to the object to be cleaned and the rubbing is not smoothly performed. It is a necessary ingredient to prevent

  The aerosol-type film-forming component preferably contains a higher fatty acid such as stearic acid. This higher fatty acid has a function of improving the strength of the flexible membrane.

  The cleaning component used in the present invention also serves as a solvent, and is particularly preferably formed by blending electrolytic ionic water with an ether solvent.

  The propellant is composed of a low boiling point volatile component such as DME (dimethyl ether), which is filled in an aerosol container with a fuel injection valve together with a film forming component and a cleaning component.

  The flexible membrane obtained by spraying the composition of the present invention from a container can be a puff-like, sponge-like, cotton-like or sheet-like membrane.

  The aerosol type film cleaner forming composition of the present invention comprises a film forming component for forming a flexible film, a cleaning component contained in the film forming component, and a propellant. When sprayed toward the object, a flexible film cleaner impregnated with the cleaning component is formed, and the object to be cleaned can be cleaned by rubbing the flexible film cleaner against the object to be cleaned.

  Thus, even if the composition is sprayed toward the surface of the object to be cleaned, the cleaning component is ejected in a state of impregnating the flexible film, so that the cleaning component is not excessively ejected, It is possible to prevent the cleaning component from being scattered in a region other than the region to be cleaned of the object to be cleaned, and to prevent the region other than the region to be cleaned from being contaminated or causing the surface to be discolored. it can.

  In addition, since the flexible membrane cleaner has a role of a cloth that rubs the surface of the object to be cleaned, there is no need to prepare a separate cloth, and the flexible membrane can be puffed, sponge-like, cotton-like Or it is in the form of a sheet, but by scratching this film, the new film surface can be rubbed against the surface of the object to be cleaned, so that the new cleaning components impregnated in the film are exposed to the film surface. The new film surface can be rubbed against the surface of the object to be cleaned to effectively clean the object to be cleaned. Typically, this flexible membrane cleaner is used in a deployed state like a cloth when cleaning large surfaces, but for example in situations where it is used for cleaning angular corners. It may be used by rounding accordingly.

  The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. The aerosol type film cleaner forming composition of the present invention contains a mold film forming component for forming a flexible film and the film forming component as described above. It consists of cleansing ingredients and propellant. The mold film forming component is preferably composed of a blend of an aqueous resin-containing solution, a higher alcohol and a lubricating powder.

  The aqueous resin solution is composed of an aqueous emulsion such as a copolymer emulsion of methyl methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, for example. The resin-containing aqueous solution is a main component of the flexible film and has the ability to form a film.

  The higher alcohol can be, for example, one component or a mixture of a plurality of components selected from lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cetosterial alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and behenyl alcohol. This higher alcohol has a function of improving the ability to form a flexible film.

  The lubricating powder may be at least one of a true spherical nylon powder or a silicon powder having an average particle diameter of 1 to 20 μm. This lubricating powder improves the flexibility and lubricity of the flexible film formed by discharging the film-forming component, facilitates the bending of the flexible film, and provides a resin on the surface of the object to be cleaned. It has a function of preventing a solid component such as a component or a higher alcohol component from adhering and smoothly rubbing the flexible film against the surface of the object to be cleaned. In addition, since the lubricating powder has low powder condensability and high dispersibility, it has a function of being blended with a flexible film to improve the ability to form the flexible film.

  The film forming component preferably contains a higher fatty acid such as stearic acid or palmitic acid. This higher fatty acid has a function of improving the peelability of the flexible membrane from the surface of the object to be cleaned and also improving the strength of the flexible membrane. Since the detergency deteriorates, the amount is reduced when high detergency is required.

  The cleaning component used in the present invention also serves as a solvent, and is particularly preferably formed by blending electrolytic ionic water with an ether solvent. Such cleaning components include propylene glycol methyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, propylene glycol tertiary butyl ether, ethyl cellosolve, methyl cellosolve, butyl cellosolve, diethylene Glycol ethers such as glycol ethyl ether, diethylene glycol butyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, 3-methyl-3methoxybutyl acetate, propylene glycol ethyl ether acetate, acetates such as ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate (cellosulbuacetate) Used. The blending amount of this cleaning component is 1-20% by weight, preferably 3-10% by weight, based on the entire composition.

  The electrolytic ionic water blended with the cleaning component functions as a pH adjuster to prevent the resin or higher alcohol in the composition liquid (stock solution) containing the film-forming component from precipitating, and a stable composition liquid is obtained. It helps to prevent clogging when sprayed as an aerosol. If normal water is used instead of electrolytic ionic water, precipitation or the like occurs in the composition liquid, and the film cannot be stably formed, and the composition liquid gels and sprays the composition liquid normally. There is a tendency to clog without being able to. The blending ratio of the electrolytic ionic water is 1-30% by weight, preferably 3-15% by weight of the entire composition.

  As the propellant, for example, ethers such as DME (dimethyl ether), low boiling point volatile components such as LPG and lower hydrocarbons are used alone or in combination. This propellant prevents the composition from scattering to the extent that it does not hinder the formation of a flexible film, and is sufficient to compatibilize the components of the composition and prevents clogging of the injection port of the injection container. The preferable content is a weight ratio of 50 to 70% with respect to the whole composition. If the propellant exceeds 70%, the formation of the flexible film becomes insufficient. If the propellant is less than 50%, the film cannot be sufficiently compatible with the film-forming component and the cleaning component, resulting in clogging. It cannot be jetted.

  The film cleaner forming composition of the present invention is filled with a solid component in a film forming component in an injection (aerosol) container with an injection valve, and then filled with a liquid component and a cleaning component in the film forming component. Formed by dissolving the ingredients and then encapsulating the propellant.

  If necessary, an antibacterial agent or an antistatic agent can be added to the liquid component that is a cleaning component. The antibacterial agent is used for the purpose of improving the cleanliness of the application surface of the object to be cleaned, and a bamboo blend extract or a grapefruit seed extract alone or in an arbitrary ratio is used as the antibacterial agent. The antistatic agent is used for the purpose of preventing the wiping surface after the wiping operation, and a cationic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, and an acid amide type anionic surfactant are used as the antistatic agent. These additives are added at a rate that does not inhibit the formation of the flexible film.

  The aerosol container has a structure such that the aerosol container is not directly sprayed on the cleaning area of the object to be cleaned and is not scattered in other areas. For example, the preferred stem orifice diameter of the injection valve is 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm, and the injection button (spout) has upright and inverted specifications depending on the application. The shape of the injection button and the injection nozzle The aperture can be arbitrarily set according to the application, the size of the cleaning area of the object to be cleaned, and the like. In particular, when the object to be cleaned is a desktop device such as an OA device, it is preferable that the specification is to be used in an inverted state from the viewpoint of preventing the spraying of the cleaning agent and preventing misuse.

  The flexible film obtained by spraying the composition of the present invention from a container can be a film in the form of a puff, sponge, cotton or sheet. These forms can be set according to the components and additives (for example, foaming agents) of the resin-containing aqueous solution used.

  Tables 1 and 2 show the seven examples of the present invention and the performance evaluation of each example. In any example, component A is a film-forming component other than the resin emulsion, component B is a resin emulsion and a cleaning component, and component C is a propellant, and the proportions shown in Tables 1 and 2 for each example. Each component was blended. After the injection container was filled with the component A, the component B was added, and finally the component C was enclosed to produce a product (film forming cleaner) filled with a predetermined composition. The flexible membrane obtained from this product was in the form of a puff.

  In order to evaluate the performance of the composition of each example, (1) “cleanability” indicating how much the cleaning surface was cleaned, (2) a flexible film formed by spraying the cleaning surface is the cleaning surface “Removability” indicating whether or not the cleaning surface could be easily peeled off to wipe the top, (3) Indicates whether or not dirt on the cleaning surface could be wiped off evenly with a flexible film “Wipeability”, (4) “puff formation degree” indicating the quality of the puff formation, (5) “no stickiness” indicating whether the puff does not stick to the cleaning surface, (6) the entire composition The performance was evaluated using seven items as test items: “content compatibility” indicating the degree of compatibility of (contents) and (7) “clogging” indicating the degree of clogging of film-forming components (the degree of ejection failure). The test results are shown in the “Evaluation” column of Tables 1 and 2. The “content compatibility” in (6) was tested by transferring the contents (liquid) to a transparent bottle and visually observing the solubility. In the evaluation, “◯” indicates that the result of the evaluation is good, and “Δ” indicates that there is a slight problem in work.

  As can be seen from the above table, according to Examples 1 to 7 according to the present invention, it can be seen that all are excellent in most performances, but in particular, Example 2, Example 4 and Example 5 are: It turns out that it is excellent in all performances.

  In these examples, Examples 1 to 3 are examples in which the amount of the solvent as the cleaning component is changed. If the amount of the solvent is too small as in Example 1, the wiping property is slightly lowered, and many It is understood that stickiness decreases when the amount is too high.

  In Examples 4 to 6, stearic acid is used as a higher fatty acid that is not used in other examples. However, when this is used, the strength of the flexible membrane (puff) itself is strongly increased. Since it becomes difficult to cut, it can be suitably used for cleaning the surface of OA equipment, the surface of a desk, and the like. However, when high detergency is required, such as when removing bird droppings and the like adhering to the windshield of the car, it is required to reduce the amount of higher fatty acids. Therefore, the blending amount of the higher fatty acid is appropriately set according to the surface to be cleaned and the type of dirt.

  Examples 6 and 7 are different from those of the other examples in the blending ratio of the propellant and the other components. Example 6 has a larger amount of propellant and Example 7 has a smaller amount of propellant. It is an example. As can be seen from these examples, in all cases, the degree of puff formation decreases, and when the amount of propellant is increased, the wiping property decreases, and when the amount of propellant is decreased, the stickiness decreases.

  As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, excellent results can be obtained in almost all the performances. Therefore, the ability to form a good flexible film on the surface to be cleaned and the good cleaning The object to be cleaned can be cleaned with force and smooth wiping characteristics. When wiping the cleaning surface of the object to be cleaned, the flexible film is required to maintain a combined state without the film itself being dispersed. According to the embodiment of the present invention, It was confirmed that the request could be satisfied.

According to the present invention, the composition is composed of a film-forming component for forming a flexible film, a cleaning component contained in the film-forming component, and a propellant. Therefore, the composition is injected toward the object to be cleaned. Then, a flexible film impregnated with the cleaning component is formed, and the flexible film can be rubbed against the object to be cleaned to clean the object to be cleaned. It is not necessary to prepare a cloth or the like for wiping the cleaning surface, and it can be suitably used as a cleaner.
