Also disclosed are methods of using and products of using the above compositions as blowing agents, solvents, heat transfer compositions, aerosol propellant compositions, fire extinguishing and suppressant compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention provides azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions comprising E-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene with either ethanol or isopropanol that may be useful, for example, in heat transfer applications. Methods of using the compositions in refrigeration and heat transfer applications are also provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions comprising 90 to 99 weight percent trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, from 0.1 to 8 weight percent methylperfluoroheptene ethers and from 0.5 to 2.0 weight percent of a fluorocarbon selected from the group consisting of Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, 1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-3-trifluoromethy-1-butene, 1,1,1,4,4,5,5,5-octafluoro-2-pentene, perfluorobutyl methyl ether, perflurobutyl ethyl ether, perfluoroisopropylmethyl ether, perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone, heptafluorocyclopentane, and E-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-chloro-2-propene, wherein the composition is non-flamable. The disclosure further provides a method for removing residue from a surface of an article comprising: (a) contacting the article with a composition comprising a composition of MPHE, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene and a fluorocarbon selected from the group consisting of Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, 1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-3-trifluoromethy-1-butene, 1,1,1,4,4,5,5,5-octafluoro-2-pentene, perfluorobutyl methyl ether, perflurobutyl ethyl ether, perfluoroisopropylmethyl ether, perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone, heptafluorocyclopentane, and E-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-chloro-2-propene; and (b) recovering the surface from the composition.
