Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cleaning solvent comprising a hydrochlorofluorocarbon and 1 -bromopropane and to a method of cleaning an article using the cleaning solvent composition. More specifically this invention relates to azeotrope and non-azeotropes cleaning solvents comprising dichloropentafluoropropane and 1 -bromopropane and to a method of cleaning an article having a metal, plastic, ceramic, or cloth surface.
  • Hydrochlorofluorocarbons are widely used as cleaning and degreasing solvents for electronic boards as well as a wide variety of other products that have cloth, plastic, elastomeric, metallic, and ceramic components or surfaces.
  • the HCFCs have demonstrated capability to clean electrical and mechanical components.
  • the cleaning solvents are non-toxic, environmentally benign, low boiling, non-flammable and inexpensive.
  • the solvents must have high solvating ability to dissolve, solubilize, and entrain the organic residues such as the flux and flux-residues on circuit boards without damaging the circuitry and other electronic components on the circuit boards that are being cleaned.
  • the physical and chemical characteristics of the cleaning solvents can be adjusted by combining the HCFCs with other organic solvents to provide a solvent with sufficient solvating power to clean the component safely, effectively, and at a commercially acceptable cost. While a particular solvent mixture initially may provide the desired characteristics in bulk, i.e. non-toxic, low boiling, inexpensive and high solvating ability, in practice the mixture may be inadequate.
  • Solvents are often recovered by distilling used or contaminated solutions to provide essentially pure solvents that can be reused. Partitioning during recovery requires that one or more of the original components be added to the recovered solvent to maintain the original solvent composition.
  • Azeotropic mixtures are combinations of solvents that do not partition; instead, they exhibit characteristics of a single pure compound. Thus, they maintain a constant composition during evaporation and distillation.
  • the azeotrope mixtures exhibit either maximum or minimum boiling points. These characteristics are important when using solvent compositions to remove solder flux and other organic residues from electronic components or grease and oil from mechanical components.
  • the azeotropic mixtures are particularly desirable in vapor degreasing operations, where a vaporized solvent is employed as a cleaning solution.
  • azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions also allow for solvent recovery without the necessity of adding one or more of the components to maintain the desired solvent composition.
  • the present invention provides a solvent composition comprising dichloropentafluoropropane and 1 -bromopropane.
  • the dichloropentafluoropropane consists essentially of 3, 3-dichloro-l, 1,1,2,2- pentafluoropropane and l,3-dichloro-l,l,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane.
  • Specific solvent compositions of 1 -bromopropane and dichloropentafluoropropane provide azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions that are particularly useful in vapor degreasing and defluxing operations.
  • the solvent composition comprises stabilizers, and co-solvents such as alcohols, ketones, ethers, acetals, nitroalkanes, epoxides, amines, and saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
  • Azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions were determined to exist when the dichloropentafluoropropane, 1 -bromopropane, stabilizers and co-solvents were combined in specific proportions. Admixture of 1 -bromopropane, dichloropentfluoropropane, stabilizers, and co-solvents provides a cleaning solution having a high solvating ability, low boiling point, and low toxicity.
  • the present invention also provides a method for cleaning articles having cloth, metal, plastic, and ceramic surfaces using the solvent compositions that include dichloropentafluoropropane and 1 -bromopropane.
  • the solvent composition includes stabilizers and co-solvents to ameliorate the stability and solvating ability of the cleaning solvent.
  • the solvent is applied to the articles such as electronic components, metal, plastic, ceramic articles or textiles by any of the known or conventional methods used to solvate and entrain grease, oils, and other particles adhering to the article's surface. Removal of the contaminated solvent provides a cleaned article that is suitable for subsequent processing or forwarding to the consumer.

  • the solvent composition also comprises concentrations of the dichloropentafluoropropane and 1 -bromopropane other than the azeotrope and azeotrope-like composition.
  • concentrations of the dichloropentafluoropropane and 1 -bromopropane other than the azeotrope and azeotrope-like composition are useful when solvent partitioning is not a concern or when the cleaning process or solvent recovery does not partition the solvent.

  • stabilizer components and co-solvents such as alcohols, ketones, ethers, acetals, nitroalkanes, epoxides, amines, and saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
  • admixture of dichloropentafluoropropane, 1 -bromopropane and one or more of the stabilizers and co-solvents provides a solvent composition that is an azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition.
  • the solvent composition prepared in accordance with this invention provides a cleaning and degreasing solvent that is useful for cleaning a wide variety of articles having cloth, metal, ceramic, plastic and elastomeric surfaces.
  • an azeotrope composition is defined as a constant boiling liquid admixture of two or more substances that exhibits physical characteristics of a single compound, in that the vapor, produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid, has substantially the same composition as the liquid, i.e., the admixture distills without substantial change in the composition.
  • Constant boiling compositions which are characterized as azeotropes, exhibit either a maximum or minimum boiling point as compared with that of the non- azeotropic mixtures of the same substances.
  • the present invention contemplates the admixture of the dichloropentafluoropropane, 1 -bromopropane, and optionally one or more stabilizers and co-solvents in an azeotrope mixture.

  • the concentrations of the dichloropentafluoropropane, 1 -bromopropane, and added stabilizers and co-solvents of such compositions differ from the concentration of the azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition by no more than about 10%, more preferably, no more than about 5% by weight.
  • solvating ability is meant the characteristic of a composition in the liquid state to dissolve solid or semi-solid matter and become miscible with liquids including gums, greases and gels.
  • solvation entails dispersing molecules of the matter with solvent molecules. The dissolution and miscibility does not have to be complete, i.e. infinite solubility or miscibility with the matter.

  • Dichloropentafluoropropanes are low boiling, non- toxic, non-flammable, and generally chemically stable to most substrates.
  • the solvent composition also includes 1 -bromopropane, which is commercially available from Great Lakes Chemical Corporation. This halogenated solvent is low boiling, inexpensive, and considered less harmful to the atmospheric ozone layer than chlorofluorocarbons.
  • 1 -bromopropane is non-toxic, unlike many other halogenated alkanes; for example, 2-bromopropane is considered to be extremely toxic to both humans and animals.
  • 1- bromopropane has an extremely high solvating ability as is exemplified by its Kauri Butanol Value of 125.
  • 1 -bromopropane provides an excellent cleaning solvent for metal components, its high solvating ability limits its application for plastics and elastomers; 1 -bromopropane tends to etch or partially dissolve plastic surfaces. Admixtures of 1 -bromopropane with less aggressive solvents such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons reduces this detrimental effect on plastics and elastometers while at the same time it increases the solvating ability of the hydrochlorofluorocarbons. The final solvent blend is highly effective for cleaning a wide variety of articles having metallic, ceramic, cloth, and plastic surfaces.
