Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce friction when materials rub against each other, conventionally, mineral-based lubricating oil has been mainly used. However, it is difficult to work, or it is difficult for the global environment and people to handle after use. It has various issues such as being unfriendly or resource depletion. SOLUTION: When materials rub against each other, as a countermeasure to reduce friction, instead of using mineral oil as in the past, liquor vegetable liquid, soybean lecithin, vegetable soap liquid, flour, rice bran By using a vegetable liquor-based lubricant having a liquid-like excellent lubricating function appropriately combined with each other, it is possible to obtain a better lubricating performance than before and to perform material processing work in a good environment. Moreover, since all raw materials are plant-based, it can be an effective means for improving resources and the environment.

Description

Conventionally, mineral-based lubricating oils are frequently used to reduce friction between the materials that rub against each other when processing metal or non-metallic materials. However, from the viewpoint of the deterioration of the global environment and the depletion of resources due to the extensive use of mineral substances, development of environmentally friendly lubricants is also strongly desired in the field of lubricants.
The present invention relates to an environmentally friendly liquor-based lubricant that replaces a conventional mineral-based lubricating oil, a method for using the same, and a method for producing the same. That is, a liquor-based lubricant made from an undiluted solution containing a vegetable surfactant soy lecithin, vegetable soap solution, flour, rice bran alone or in combination with a liquor solution based on vegetable matter, and a method for using the same It relates to the manufacturing method.
Examples of the application of the lubricant include application to a material surface during processing of the material.

When materials are rubbed against each other, such as when processing metal materials, mineral oil is mainly used in conventional operations. However, it is not friendly to people in the global environment, especially at work sites, and there are problems such as resource depletion.
There are conventional vegetable lubricants, for example, lubricants containing cereal flour (JP-A-10-180391, 2008-231422, 2010-168519, etc.). In these cases, the liquid is a solid (fine powder). It is easy to separate into two phases with the liquid, so it is difficult to uniformly apply the liquid itself, or if the residual mineral oil from the previous process of the processed material is not removed beforehand, the liquid will be repelled and uniformly applied when applying the lubricant. There are many practical problems, such as the applicability of lubricants (liquids), such as being difficult, and sticking due to solidification of grain powder on the processed material surface after use, making it difficult to remove the solid matter after processing.

  It is desirable that the lubricant to be put into practical use is friendly to the global environment, friendly to humans, and easy to apply to conventional processes.

As a result of various studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor, based on alcoholic liquor liquid, vegetable lecithin, vegetable soap liquid, instead of the conventional mineral-based lubricating oil when the materials rub against each other. Good antiseptic properties and application by using liquid liquor-based lubricant made by stirring, dissolving and saturating each stock solution containing wheat flour and rice bran flour alone or in combination. The present invention has been completed by discovering the property, good material workability due to excellent lubrication performance, and easy removal of the adhered lubricant from the material surface after processing.
The present invention relates to a liquor-based lubricant, its use (coating) method and production method.

The lubricant of the present invention retains antiseptic properties by using an alcoholic liquor and is based on vegetable lecithin soy lecithin and vegetable soap solution, and further contains a stock solution containing flour and rice bran alone or in combination. It is said that it can be applied as it is even if the conventional mineral oil adheres to the surface of the material from the pre-application process, especially by applying it, dissolving, and saturating it separately. Has benefits. Further, it is easy to remove the adhered lubricant from the surface of the material after using the lubricant, and the lubricant (liquid) is easy to handle.
The stock solution component system of the present invention can be divided into two types. Both are based on liquor liquid, and the liquid that contains vegetable lecithin and vegetable soap solution is used as the stock solution. This is called the first group (G1), and flour and rice bran are used alone or in combination. The solution contained in the solution is used as a stock solution, which is referred to as a second group (G2).

There are two ways of use (application) along this group (G).
First, in G1, in the case of using a lubricant made from a stock solution containing liquor liquid, vegetable soybean lecithin, and vegetable soap liquid, a lubricant (liquid) is applied to the surface of the work material, and then a dry cloth or This is a method of use by carrying out an operation of wiping lightly with paper or the like, thereby exhibiting good lubrication performance and obtaining good workability, that is, good work finish.
G2 is a method using a stock solution in which wheat flour and rice bran are added alone or in combination with the previous G1 solution, and in this case, it is a normal method used as it is. In addition, the coating method of G1 can also be applied to this G2, and a favorable workability and a processed surface are obtained also in this case.
In both cases of G1 and G2, the lubricant on the surface of the material after processing can be easily removed by subsequent cleaning. In other words, the lubricant is also provided with a function of easily removing it by washing after using the lubricant. The lubricant of the present invention is used at room temperature.

Alcoholic liquor is a common liquor liquid such as shochu made from rice, wheat, straw, corn, sugarcane, etc., Japanese liquor, etc., Western liquor, such as whiskey, etc. Soap is pure vegetable soap solution made from vegetable oils and fats, and flour, rice bran, etc. are also vegetable. Thus, since the raw material of the lubricant of the present invention is obtained through plants, the lubricant of the present invention is a semi-permanent resource that is gentle to the global environment and humans and that can be obtained by growing plants. It can also be a measure from both resource and environmental perspectives.
In addition, although this invention liquor type | system | group lubricant uses drinks, such as liquor, it is not drinking.

The content range of each component in the stock solution of the lubricant of the present invention is as follows. All percentages in the present invention are mass%.
For liquor liquor, first, for shochu, 25% or more and 40% or less at frequency 25, 32% or more and 50% or less at frequency 20, 17% or more and 28% at frequency 35 or white liquor (degree 35). Hereinafter, for sake (frequency about 13), it is 50% or more and 80% or less, and for whiskey (frequency about 40), it is 16% or more and 25% or less.
The liquor liquor can be combined, but in this case, the liquor liquid is added from the low one to the high one, and the content of the liquor liquor combined is within the range of the high liquor.
The vegetable lecithin is 0.1% to 4%, and the vegetable soap solution is 4% to 10%. Further, the total addition amount of flour, rice bran alone or in combination is 1 to 10% by mass, and the rest is water.

The liquor-based lubricant obtained by stirring and leaving this undiluted solution to dissolve and saturate each component maintains antiseptic properties, good coating properties, excellent lubrication performance, and adhesion from the material surface after use Lubricant removal also has an easy function.
The dissolution and saturation of the liquid in the present invention means mixing the liquids containing different components and stirring, then leaving the liquid surface upper layer part floating after standing for a certain period of time, remaining after removing the liquid bottom part sediment Refers to the liquid state.

  In the method for producing the lubricant according to the present invention, the raw material component system includes alcoholic liquor such as shochu and white liquor, vegetable soybean lecithin, vegetable soap solution, water (G1), and flour and rice bran alone. Alternatively, it is a method of making two types of lubricants from two types of stock solutions (G2) added to the composite. Each stock solution is individually placed in a liquid container, and after stirring, left standing for a certain period of time to dissolve and saturate, and the resulting suspended matter on the upper surface of the liquid surface or sediment at the bottom of the liquid is removed. The mixing order of the components in G1 and G2 individually, the stirring method, the standing time, or the method for removing suspended matters and precipitates are not particularly limited, and the higher the yield of the liquid to be collected, the better.

  Lubricant application can be applied to either the front or back side of the workpiece or one side, and there is surface adhesion such as so-called mineral oil that comes from the pre-production process of the workpiece. Even without degreasing, the lubricant can be uniformly applied to the surface of the material. Therefore, the lubricant can be easily applied to conventional material processing processes using mineral oil. It is possible to switch. As for the method of using (coating) the lubricant, G1 and G2 are properly used depending on the application. The application location may also be applied to the processing mold side.

  The mutually rubbing materials of the present invention are metals such as steel, stainless, high alloy, titanium, aluminum, and copper, or non-metallic materials, and the shape is not specified.

  The lubricant of the present invention has good antiseptic properties and coating properties, and is applied to the front or back surface or one surface of the workpiece sandwiched between the molds when the materials are rubbed against each other. In some cases, it may be applied to the mold side, and the place of use is not particularly limited.
