JPH0671103A - Fluoric solvent for water expulsion - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide fluoric solvent, useful as a substitute for CFC 113 which has high function to destroy an ozone layer, for water expulsion by using decafluoropentane with a specified structure as an effective component of a solvent for water expulsion. CONSTITUTION:As an effective component of a solvent having water expelling function, a decafluoropentane having a general formula, C5H2F10, such as 1H,2H- perfluoropentane, 1H,4H-perfluoropentane, etc., is used. Alcohols, ketones, surfactants, etc., are added to the decafluoropentane. Alcohols with 8 or less carbon number, for example methanol, ethanol, etc., are preferable for the alcohols, ketones with 9 or less carbon number, e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc., for the ketones, and anion, cation and amphoteric surfactants are for the surfactants. The water expelling agent does not destroy an ozone layer and has effective water expelling function.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to precision instruments, optical instruments,
The present invention relates to a draining solvent that removes water adhering to the surface of a component such as an electronic device after washing the component with water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When cleaning parts such as precision equipment, optical equipment, and electronic equipment, a method of washing with pure water after treatment with an appropriate detergent according to contaminants is widely used. A drying step is required to remove the water present on the article surface. As a drying means, physical methods such as heating, decompression and centrifugation have been used for a long time, but in recent years, a drying method using a solvent which has a low energy cost and is capable of high speed drying has become popular. As a solvent, a liquid obtained by adding a surfactant or ethanol to trichlorotrifluoroethane (hereinafter referred to as CFC R113) is widely used.

[0003]

Fluorocarbon R113 has a lot of excellent properties such as nonflammability, low toxicity and low surface tension, and thus the demand has rapidly increased, but it is chemically stable and within the troposphere. It has been pointed out in recent years that it has a long lifespan and that it reaches the stratosphere, destroys the ozone layer, and increases harmful ultraviolet rays that reach the surface of the earth, resulting in a serious impact on the earth's ecosystem, including humankind.

For this reason, there is an active international movement to regulate the production and consumption of CFCs such as CFC R113 having a high ozone depletion potential and to abolish them. In order to cope with such a situation, the present invention provides a novel draining solvent which does not destroy the ozone layer and has a draining ability comparable to that of conventional draining agents.

[0005]

As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that at least decafluoropentane represented by the general formula C ₅ H ₂ F ₁₀ is selected from alcohols, ketones, and surfactants. The inventors have found that the above problems can be achieved by adding one kind, and have reached the present invention. Examples of the decafluoropentane represented by the general formula C ₅ H ₂ F ₁₀ include 1H, 2H-perfluoropentane and 1

The compound of the present invention represented by the general formula C ₅ H ₂ F ₁₀ can be produced by a known method. For example, 1H,
2H-perfluoropentane is reduced by telomerizing tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) with trifluoromethyl iodide and then reduced, and 1H, 4H-perfluoropentane is converted into hexafluoropentene (HFP)
Addition of 1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 2H, 4H
-Perfluoropentane has 1,1,1,2-
Addition of tetrafluoroethane, 2H, 3H-perfluoropentane can be synthesized by adding TFE to HFP and then reducing.

More preferable are methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and the like. The amount of alcohol added is 0 to 30% by weight, preferably 0 to
It is 20% by weight, more preferably 0 to 15% by weight.

The ketones preferably have 9 or less carbon atoms, for example, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, 2

It is 0% by weight.

As the surface active agent, known anionic surface active agents, cationic surface active agents, nonionic surface active agents and amphoteric surface active agents can be used. Examples of the anionic activator include carboxylate,
Examples thereof include sulfonate, sulfate ester salt, and phosphate ester salt. Examples of the cationic activator include salts of amines with various acids and quaternary ammonium salts. Examples of the nonionic activator include polyoxyethylene ether, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene glycol, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene alkyl ether, and fatty acid partial ester of polyhydric alcohol.
