Washed laundry that has been rinsed still contains bound acidic or basic rinsing liquid. In many cases this must be neutralized. This used to be conducted on the basis of values gained from experience, which generally resulted in only partial neutralization. Herein, sample liquid is taken continuously from the neutralization chamber ( 18 ) and, after the fine filtration of same, the pH value of the sample liquid is continuously measured by a pH value measurement device ( 31 ). In this manner a pH value control system is possible which ensures an automatic and complete neutralization of the rinse liquid still bound in the laundry after rinsing.

본 발명은 적층 세라믹 콘덴서, 적층형 인덕터, 칩 저항등의 칩 부품의 단자 전극용 페이스트 조성물에 관한 것으로서, 실란 커플링재를 적정량 첨가함으로써 바인더 함량의 증가나 탈바인더가 어려운 에틸셀룰로오스계 수지를 사용하지 않고도 충분한 건조막 강도를 구현할 수 있는 칩 부품 단자 전극용 페이스트 조성물을 제공하고자 하는데, 그 목적이 있는 것이다. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paste composition for terminal electrodes of chip components such as multilayer ceramic capacitors, multilayer inductors, and chip resistors. An object of the present invention is to provide a paste composition for a chip part terminal electrode capable of realizing sufficient dry film strength. 본 발명은 도전성 금속: 65∼75중량%, 그라스 프릿(glass frit): 4∼10중량%, 바인더: 4∼10중량%, 및 나머지 용재를 포함하여 조성되는 기본 페이스트에 기본 페이스트 중량에 대하여 0.5∼3.0중량%의 실란 커플링재가 첨가되어 이루어진 것을 특징으로 하는 칩 부품 단자 전극용 페이스트 조성물을 그 요지로 한다.  The present invention comprises a conductive paste: 65 to 75% by weight, glass frit: 4 to 10% by weight, binder: 4 to 10% by weight, and 0.5% by weight of the base paste in the base paste, which is composed of the remaining solvent. The paste composition for chip component terminal electrodes is characterized by the addition of -3.0 wt% silane coupling material. 본 발명에 의하면, 단자 전극의 건조막 강도를 개선시키고, 특히 기저 세라믹 소체와 건조된 단자 전극 사이의 접착력이 크게 개선되어 단자 전극 부분의 파손 불량을 개선시킬 수 있는 효과가 있는 것이다. According to the present invention, the dry film strength of the terminal electrode is improved, and in particular, the adhesive force between the base ceramic body and the dried terminal electrode is greatly improved, thereby improving the failure failure of the terminal electrode portion. 칩 부품, 단자 전극, 페이스트, 건조막, 강도, 실란 커플링재 Chip component, terminal electrode, paste, dry film, strength, silane coupling material
