Abstract:
A floating inflatable device which is to be able to be inflated on the surface of liquid and which for this purpose comprises inflation means including an on-board source of pressurized gas, wherein said inflation means comprise a venturi supplied by said source of pressurized gas and capable of entraining ambient air which contributes to the inflating of the device, and wherein said venturi inflation means, being mounted on a wall of said device, are protected by protective means covering them in such a way as to allow ambient air to pass freely while at the same time preventing liquid from being able to gain entry to the device to any appreciable extent.
Abstract:
In order to replace 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane and 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane in compositions for treating solid surfaces (in particular defluxing), the invention proposes the use of a quasi-azeotropic mixture containing, by weight, from 75 to 95% of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane, from 1 to 15% of methylene chloride and from 1 to 10% of methanol.
Abstract:
Azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions of 142/365 mfc, 142/methanol, and 142/365 mfc/methanol are provided, as are methods for using the same for cleaning, drying, foam blowing and the like.
Abstract:
The use of a mixture of cycloalkanes of general formula C.sub.n H.sub.2 (n+1-a) in which n is an integer ranging from 8 to 12 and a represents the number of rings as agent for cleaning and degreasing solid surfaces, e.g., printed circuits. The mixture has a flash point above 55.degree. C. (ASTM D56-70) and a distillation range of 175.degree. C. to 235.degree. C.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition based on stabilized methylene chloride composed essentially of at least one 1,2-epoxyalkane and of at least one acetal, and preferably no nitroalkane.The composition according to the invention can be used for degreasing, cleaning and/or drying metal components.
Abstract:
To replace compositions based on CFC or CFHC in applications for cleaning solid surfaces (in particular defluxing), the invention proposes azeotropic or quasi-azeotropic compositions based on 1,1,1,2,2,4,4-heptafluorobutane and a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alcohol.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition based on stabilized methylene chloride composed essentially of at least one 1,2-epoxyalkane and of at least one acetal, and no nitroalkane. The composition according to the invention can be used for degreasing, cleaning and/or drying metal components.
Abstract:
To replace cleaning compositions based on 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (F113), the invention proposes a composition comprising, by weight, 93 to 99% of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (F365 mfc) and 7 to 1% of methanol. These two compounds form a positive azeotrope (b.p.=36.5.degree. C. at normal pressure).The composition, optionally stabilized, can be used for the cleaning and/or drying of solid surfaces, in particular for the removal of flux from printed circuits and for degreasing mechanical parts.
Abstract:
To replace the cleaning compositions based on 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (F113), the invention proposes a composition comprising, on a weight basis, 60 to 90% of 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (F141b), 9 to 33% of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (F365 mfc) and 1 to 7% of methanol. These three compounds form a positive azeotrope (b.p.=29.1.degree. C. at normal pressure).The composition, optionally stabilized, can be employed for the cleaning and/or drying of solid surfaces, in particular for the defluxing of printed circuits and for the degreasing of mechanical components.
