Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is suitable for removing processing oils used for processing precision machine parts, optical machine parts, etc., flux used for soldering electric and electronic parts, and stains on clothes. A cleaning solvent.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various processing oils such as cutting oil, press oil, drawing oil, heat treatment oil, rust preventive oil, wax, lubricating oil and grease are used when processing precision machine parts, optical machine parts and the like. However, these oils and fats need to be finally removed, and removal with a solvent is generally performed.

Soldering is most commonly used as a method of joining electronic circuits, but the purpose is to remove and clean oxides on the metal surface to be soldered, to prevent reoxidation, and to improve the wettability of solder. Therefore, it is usual to pretreat the soldering surface with a flux containing rosin as a main component. The soldering method is to supply the flux to the surface of the board by dipping the board in a solution-like flux, then supply the molten solder, or mix the flux and solder powder in advance to form a paste. Although there is a method of heating after supplying it to the place to be soldered, in any case, the flux residue causes metal corrosion,
After soldering, it may cause deterioration of insulation.
It is necessary to remove it sufficiently.

Also, for cleaning clothes, cleaning with a solvent (dry cleaning) is widely used because of its good cleaning power and excellent drying property. For these applications, it is non-flammable, low in toxicity, chemically stable, has excellent solubility in oils and fats, and has little effect on materials such as rubber, plastic, metal, and clothing. Therefore, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,
2,2-trifluoroethane (hereinafter referred to as R113) is widely used.

[0005]

As described above, R113
Has many excellent features. However, it is chemically very stable, has a long life in the troposphere, is decomposed by strong ultraviolet rays until it reaches the stratosphere, releases chlorine, and destroys the ozone layer.As a result, harmful ultraviolet rays reaching the ground are increased. It has been pointed out in recent years that it will seriously affect the ecosystem on the earth, including.

For this reason, there is an active international movement to regulate the production and consumption of fluorocarbons such as R113 having a high ozone depletion potential and to abolish them. The present invention, in response to these movements, has no ozone depletion potential and, in addition, R11
The present invention provides a new cleaning solvent which retains the excellent properties of No. 3.
