  Abstract

Aqueous cleaning agents which are considered to be environmental-friendly and promising alternative ones among various industrial cleaning agents were evaluated in this words. In order to formulate aqueous cleaning agents, primary alcohol ethoxylates with 3, 5 and 7 moles of ethylene oxides among nonionic surfactants were selected as main surfactants. And anionic surfactants and alcohols were chosen as their cosurfactants. Builders such as NaOH, KOH, Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 were also evaluated as additives for improvement of cleaning efficiency of aqueous cleaning agents. The experimental results of cleaning ability tests show that introduction of anionic surfactant TLS as cosurfactant in alcohol ethoxylate-based aqueous solution gives the best cleaning efficiency for removing mixed soil of cutting oil and grease. NaOH and Na2CO3 are also shown to play an important role for improvement of cleaning efficiency in a aqueous cleaning agent.
