Abstract:
Compositions and methods for release of adherent deposits from nonporous surfaces and substrates are provided. The compositions are low volatile organic compound (low VOC) compositions, solutions or mixtures that can be applied in a form that clings to the underlying surface while it is working. Adherent deposits removed using the compositions include grease and oil, and printers ink. The compositions may be used on any nonporous surface or substrate including metals, ceramics and plastics, without harming the surface or substrate. The composition may contain a thixotropic agent to act as an anti-shearing agent.
Abstract:
A cleanser for releasing adherent deposits from a surface consisting essentially of ethylene glycol n-butyl ether, acetone, dibasic ester, and optionally water in specified proportions. Also disclosed is a method of releasing adherent deposits from a surface by applying the aforementioned composition to the deposits.
