JPH06122868A - Production of easily washable solid buff polishing agent - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject low-polluting buff polishing agent giving the buffing feeling same as the feeling of conventional buffing agent and enabling safe, easy and hygienic cleaning of buff scum with water of normal temperature after buffing operation by kneading a specific binder with polishing powder. CONSTITUTION:A polyalkylene glycol having a melting point of 30-160 deg.C and useful as a surfactant and its intermediate is used as a binder and kneaded with polishing powder (e.g. chromium oxide powder or aluminum oxide powder for polishing) to obtain the objective polishing agent. The binder is e.g. polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol ether and polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial application] Abrasives used for buffing in metal processing are solid substances called blue rods and white rods, which are related to improving the cleanability of the product after polishing. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional solid abrasives use abrasive powder and oils and fats such as paraffins and fatty acids, but this product is difficult to clean after it is attached to a metal surface called buff residue. There were many cases. As a cleaning method, an aqueous solution in which a surfactant is dissolved is used at a high temperature or a harmful organic solvent is used for cleaning, but this is inefficient.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to improve a conventional abrasive that produces buff residue that is difficult to clean and to obtain a solid abrasive that produces buff residue that is easy to clean.

[0004]

In the prior art, fats and oils insoluble in water were used as a binder for abrasives, but the present invention is water-soluble and its physical properties are similar to those of the conventional ones. It was to find something that had no problems in terms of health and safety and pollution. As a result of examining various substances, it has been found that the problem can be solved by selecting and using a water-soluble surfactant and its intermediate having a melting point of 30 ° C to 160 ° C.

[0005]

[Function] A solid abrasive produced using such a binder has a feeling of use during polishing which is the same as that of the conventional one, and buffing residue can be sufficiently washed by simply immersing it in water at room temperature or by applying vibration. Can be done.

【Example】

(1) Oxidized chrome powder 8 in a stainless steel beaker
Add 00g and polyethylene glycol 200g and heat it with stirring to make the whole paste.
This was poured into a container made of aluminum, cooled, and taken out to obtain a solid abrasive. Using this, the stainless steel material was polished and then washed, but the polishing condition was the same as that of the conventional product, and the cleanability was easily performed with normal temperature water. (2) Add 700 g of aluminum oxide powder for polishing and 300 g of polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol ether to a beaker made of stainless steel, and heat it with stirring to turn it into a paste. Cool it by pouring it into a container made of aluminum. After that, the test was conducted on the one taken out. The polishing condition was the same as the conventional product, and the cleanability was easily performed with normal temperature water. (3) Oxide chromium powder 8 for polishing in a stainless steel beaker
00 grams, polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester 100
Grams and 100 grams of polyethylene glycol were put in and heated with stirring to make a whole paste state. This was poured into an aluminum container, cooled, and then taken out and tested. The polishing condition was the same as before, and the cleanability was easily achieved with room temperature water. (4) Put 700 g of aluminum oxide powder for polishing and 300 g of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate in a stainless steel beaker and heat with stirring to make the whole paste state. Pour this into an aluminum container and cool. After that, it was taken out and tested. The polishing condition was the same as before, and the cleanability was easily achieved with room temperature water. (5) Oxidized chrome powder 8 for polishing in a stainless steel beaker
00 grams and 200 grams of polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ether were added, and the whole was in a paste state when heated with stirring. This was poured into an aluminum container, cooled, taken out, and tested. The polishing condition was the same as before, and the cleanability was easily achieved with room temperature water. (6) Put 700 g of aluminum oxide powder for polishing and 300 g of polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block polymer in a beaker made of stainless steel, and heat while stirring to make the whole paste state. Pour this into an aluminum container, After cooling, it was taken out and tested. The polishing condition was the same as before, and the cleanability was easily achieved with room temperature water.
