Abstract

In order to reduce toxicity on the human body, four new cleaning agents (1-4) containing ester and ether functionalities have been invented. The synthesized cleaning agents's physical properties, biodegradabilities, and $LD_{50}$ values, which were conducted by Korea Testing Certification Institute by using standard method, showed excellent values. A specimen for cleaning ability was prepared by cutting in $60{\times}40mm$ size of stainless steel plate. The surface of the above specimens was treated with four different kinds of contaminants, such as cutting oil, anti-rust oil, drawing oil, and lubricating oil. Contaminated specimens were then immersed in compounds (1-4) for 1 to 5 minutes to dissolve oil in the cleaning agent. The data indicate that all compounds (1-4) exhibit good cleaning ability toward four contaminant oils. It is also confirmed that these compounds can be applicable to various industrial cleaning fields as nontoxic and biodegradable cleaning agents because of their excellent biodegradabilities and $LD_{50}$ values.

기존 유기 세정제의 문제점인 인체 독성을 낮추기 위하여 생분해도 및 $LD_{50}$가 향상된 에테르 및 에스테르 작용기를 동시에 갖는 세정제 4종을 새롭게 합성하였다. 합성한 세정제를 한국기계전기전자시험연구원에서 국가산업표준 방법으로 분석하여 물리적인 성질과 생분해도 및 $LD_{50}$을 측정하고 세정성 평가를 수행하였다. 물성 측정 결과, 물리화학적 성질이 세정제로서 적합한 것으로 확인되었다. 세정력 평가를 위하여 $60{\times}40mm$ 크기의 스테인리스 강 기판에 절삭유, 방청유, 인발유, 윤활유를 각각 기판에 도포하여 합성한 세정제(1-4)에 침적하여 세정력을 평가하였다. 최대 5 min 간 침적하였을 때 절삭유는 96-100%, 방청유에서는 64-72%, 인발유는 59-88%, 윤활유는 72-84% 정도의 높은 세정력을 보였다. 또한 세정제(1-4)의 생분해도 99% 이상, $LD_{50}$ 2,000 mg/kg 이상의 값을 보임으로서 인체에 거의 해가 없는 친환경 세정제임을 확인하였다.
