When the content of component (A) and the content of component (B) are within these ranges, component (A) and component (B) in the composition exhibit excellent solubility, resulting in a uniform composition. In the present specification, the total amount of component (A) and component (B) means that the sum of the content of component (A) and the content of component (B) in the composition is 100 mass %.

It is the most preferable that the composition of the present disclosure consists of component (A) and component (B) (with the proviso that, unavoidable impurities other than component (A) and component (B) are allowed to be present).
It has been unknown that HFE-356mmz and HFE-356mec each exhibit excellent miscibility with a fluorine oil. However, the inventors of the present disclosure, as a result of trial and error of numerous combinations of HFE and oil, surprisingly found that a composition of HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec with a fluorine oil does not become turbid even when the content of the fluorine oil is set to such a high concentration as described above and becomes transparent due to the high miscibility of HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec with the fluorine oil.
In the present specification, “transparent” means that the composition is uniform and not turbid.
The composition of the present disclosure can be suitably used as a coating agent because of the excellent miscibility of HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec with a fluorine oil and the moderately high boiling point of these mixtures.
To achieve the excellent miscibility, the composition of the present disclosure has a boiling point of preferably 40° C. or more and 100° C. or less, and more preferably 50° C. or more and 90° C. or less. When the composition of the present disclosure having a boiling point within these temperature ranges is used in a coating agent, the composition will exhibit excellent solubility with limited evaporation.
In the present specification, the term “coating agent” refers to a mixture that exists in a liquid form at room temperature and that is applied to an article to form a coating film mainly for the purpose of, for example, protecting or imparting luster to the surface of the article.
Another aspect of the present disclosure is a coating method including applying the composition of the present disclosure.
Another aspect of the present disclosure is a solvent composition or cleaning composition for removing a fluorine oil, containing HFE-356mmz and/or HFE-356mec.
The fluorine oil to be removed is preferably at least one compound selected from the group consisting of perfluoropolyether compounds, compounds containing a perfluoropolyether group and a functional group, and low-molecular polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene. Of these, perfluoropolyether compounds are particularly preferable. The perfluoropolyether compounds, the compounds containing a perfluoropolyether group and a functional group, and the low-molecular polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene are as described above.
The composition of the present disclosure may contain, in addition to HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec, at least one member selected from the group consisting of additional solvents other than HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec, antioxidants, stabilizers, preservatives, and surfactants.
Additional solvents for use can be selected from a wide range of solvents such as alkane compounds, alkene compounds, chloroalkane compounds, chloroalkene compounds, hydrofluorcalkane compounds, fluoroalkene compounds, chlorofluoroalkene compounds, and alcohol compounds, according to the properties to be added. However, hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is not preferable as such an additional solvent in the present disclosure. For example, for the purpose of dissolving mineral oil, 1,2-dichloroethylene (chloroalkene compound) or 1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (chlorofluoroalkene compound) can be added. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), 1-butanol, or 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-dodecafluoro-1-heptanol (alcohol compounds), for example, can also be added. In the present disclosure, additional solvents are preferably an alcohol compound. The alcohol compound is preferably at least one member selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol (IPA), 1-butanol, and 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-dodecafluoro-1-heptanol, and more preferably isopropyl alcohol (IPA).

The stabilizers become functional as an acid acceptor or an antioxidant by exerting a stabilization effect. Major stabilization effects include the effect of preventing the decomposition of HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec by capturing radicals generated in a system, and the acid-accepting effect of preventing further decomposition of HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec caused by an acid by capturing the acid generated in a system. Such stabilizers for use are selected from a wide range of known stabilizers. In particular, from the standpoint of effectively reducing metal corrosion by the composition, the stabilizer for use is preferably at least one stabilizer selected from the group consisting of unsaturated alcohol-based stabilizers, nitro-based stabilizers, amine-based stabilizers, phenol-based stabilizers, and epoxy-based stabilizers.
The unsaturated alcohol-based stabilizer for use can be selected from a wide range of known such stabilizers.

From the standpoint of more effectively preventing the decomposition of HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec caused by various factors by using a combination of stabilizers having different stabilization effects, the stabilizer is preferably composed of the above-described epoxy-based stabilizer and at least one member selected from the group consisting of the unsaturated alcohol-based stabilizers, nitro-based stabilizers, and phenol-based stabilizers.
From the standpoint of more effectively limiting acid liberation from HFE-356mmz or HFE-356mec and reducing metal corrosion caused by the composition in a liquid form, the content of the stabilizer in the composition taken as 100 mass % is preferably 0.0001 mass % or more, and more preferably 0.01 mass % or more. However, in consideration of avoiding unfavorable changes in physical properties of the composition in a liquid form due to an excessively added stabilizer, the content of the stabilizer in the composition taken as 100 mass % is preferably 10 mass % or less, and more preferably 5 mass % or less.
Another aspect of the present disclosure is a cleaning method including removing a fluorine oil by using a cleaning agent containing HFE-356mmz and/or HFE-356mec.
The fluorine oil to be removed is preferably at least one compound selected from the group consisting of perfluoropolyether compounds, compounds containing a perfluoropolyether group and a functional group, and low-molecular polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene.

A composition containing HFE-356mmz and/or HFE-356mec (100 parts by mass) mixed with preferably 20 parts by mass or less of a fluorine oil is usable as a solvent or cleaning agent. Additionally, for example, after the composition is used as a solvent or cleaning agent, the composition containing HFE-356mmz and/or HFE-356mec that remains mixed with a fluorine oil can be used as a solvent or cleaning agent again.

Additionally, fluorine oil (A3) was added to the glass test tube such that the compositional percentages of the mixture and fluorine oil (A3) were respectively 50 mass % and 50 mass %. Whether the mixture and fluorine oil (A3) were dissolved into each other at 25° C. was observed. The glass test tube was observed, and the mixture and fluorine oil (A3) were confirmed to have not been dissolved into each other, and to have separated into two layers.
HFE-356mmz and HFIP were placed in a glass test tube to prepare a mixture. The content of each component in the mixture was HFE-356mmz: 90 mass %, HFIP: 10 mass %. Additionally, fluorine oil (A3) was added to the glass test tube such that the compositional percentages of the mixture and fluorine oil (A3) were respectively 50 mass % and 50 mass %. Whether the mixture and fluorine oil (A3) were dissolved into each other at 25° C. was observed. The glass test tube was observed, and the mixture and fluorine oil (A3) were confirmed to have not been dissolved into each other, and to have separated into two layers.
The results of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 indicate that the mixture of HFE-356mmz and HFIP is not miscible with fluorine oil (A3).
In this Comparative Example, bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether (HFE-356mff2, CF3CH2OCH2CF3) was used as an HFE compound. HFE-356mff2 is an HFE compound composed of four carbon atoms, six fluorine atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom, in the same manner as HFE-356mmz and HFE-356mec in the present disclosure.
Bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether (HFE-356mff2, CF3CH2OCH2CF3) and fluorine oil (A2) were placed in a glass test tube to prepare a composition. Whether HFE-356mff2 and fluorine oil (A2) were dissolved into each other at 25° C. was observed.

The glass test tube was observed, and HFE-356mff2 and fluorine oil (A2) were confirmed to have not been dissolved into each other, and to have separated into two layers.
The results of Comparative Example 3 indicate that HFE-356mff2 is not miscible with fluorine oil (A2). It was also confirmed that even HFE compounds composed of the same constituent elements with the same number of those elements, as with HFE-356mmz, HFE-356mec, and HFE-356mff2 (i.e., structural isomers), differ as to whether these compounds can dissolve in fluorine oil or not.

The content of each component in the lubricant solution was HFE-356mmz: 97 mass %, fluorine oil (A2): 3 mass %. Subsequently, the lubricant solution was applied to the surface of an aluminum substrate to give an average thickness of 0.5 mm, and dried in air at 24 to 27° C., thereby forming a lubricant coating film on the surface of the aluminum substrate. The lubricant coating film was visually observed and confirmed to be a uniform coating film.
