Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for removing inclusions on tile surfaces with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a means for this with the features of the preamble of claim 3.
- a tile covering is used today that is grouted with a very highly chemical-resistant material.
- An epoxy resin or silicate glass resin is usually used for this. This is, for example, resistant to animal and vegetable fats, chlorinated water and aggressive cleaning agents. The good resistance of the joints is achieved after a curing time of around seven days.
- the tile surface When grouting, the tile surface always comes into contact with the epoxy resin. Since the tile surface is usually not completely cleaned after grouting, a certain amount of residual epoxy resin remains on the tile surface, which remains fresh until the end of the curing time. This alone leads not necessarily affect the tile surface if the tiled area is kept free until it has completely hardened, but even offers additional protection.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of improving a method of the type mentioned at the outset and of making available a suitable means. This object is achieved by a method with the features of claim 1 and a means with the features of claim 3. Further advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
- the fact that a cleaning agent is applied which chemically detaches the remains of the hardened jointing material, including the inclusions, means that tiling and re-grouting can be omitted. This allows a more cost-effective and faster remedy of defects.
- the cleaning agent can be used as a jointing material for synthetic resins, such as epoxy resin, or for silicate glass resin.
- the cleaning agent used is preferably largely biodegradable, which greatly reduces the costs for subsequent disposal.
- the cleaning agent preferably contains organic solvents with various additives to reinforce the Effect. A high proportion of organic substances promotes biodegradability.
- the cleaning agent preferably contains a so-called adjusting agent which brings about a pasty consistency of the cleaning agent.
- the tile area 1 consists of several, slightly spaced apart tiles 2 with epoxy resin joints 3 in between and is initially contaminated with a dirty epoxy resin veil 4.
- the exemplary cleaning agent for removing epoxy resin residues consists of 50% by volume to 90% by volume, preferably approximately 75% by volume to 80% by volume, of benzyl alcohol C 6 H 5 -CH 2 ⁇ H, which is 99% technically pure before the preparation of the cleaning agent.
- the benzyl alcohol alone shows a certain cleaning effect in the desired application, and surprisingly, tests have already been able to remove an average of 60% of the epoxy resin film.
- the detergent is used with a proportion of about 10 vol.% To 12 vol.% Butyl diglycol acetate C 4 H 9 -0-C 2 H 4 -0-C 2 H 4 -0-CO-CH 3 added, which is 100% technically pure. Surprisingly, this mixture was able to remove 97% of the epoxy resin veil in experiments.
- the cleaning agent contains about 1% by volume up to 8% by volume pyrogenic silica H 4 Si0 4 , which is 100% technically pure.
- the exemplary cleaning agent can contain small amounts of other active ingredients, preferably organic Substances, for example ethyl alcohol C 2 H 5 OH, acetic acid CH 3 -COOH, formic acid H-COOH, acetone CH 3 -CO-CH 3 or other organic acids and surfactants, but also for example hydrochloric acid HCl or dilute sodium hydroxide solution NaOH, each preferably in an amount of about 1 vol%, 2 vol% or 3 vol% and in an industrial purity of 60% to 100%. It is possible to add water, for example up to 20% by volume.
- the exact composition of the cleaning agent can be matched to the joint material used. The proportions of the constituents mentioned for the exemplary cleaning agent decrease or increase accordingly. In experiments, almost 100% of the epoxy veil could be removed.
- the exemplary cleaning agent is pasty to liquid (depending on the proportion of the adjusting agent).
- the color is clear with a small amount of adjusting agent (approx. 1% by volume) and white to opaque with a higher amount of adjusting agent.
- the result is a mild aromatic smell (slightly bitter almond).
- the viscosity at 20 ° C is about 300 to 600 mPS, the pH about 6.0, the solids weight about 9.8% and the solvent content about 90%.
- the cleaning agent is 99.8% fully biodegradable (EN standard 2988). It forms an emulsion in water.
- the exemplary cleaning agent is applied evenly to the contaminated tile surface of the tiles 2.
- the grouting material levels in the present case the epoxy resin residues, together with the influences of dirt, are carefully removed.
- a complete removal of the dirty epoxy resin veil 4 is ensured without the tile surface being attacked or the epoxy resin joint 3 being impaired.
- the cleaning agent and the dissolved residues can be removed and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner due to its biodegradability.
