摘要:
An aqueous cleaning composition having a pH of about 6 to about 8 and comprising a solution of the following ingredients: water, an organic solvent and an imidazoline-based cationic surfactant, each present in an amount effective to dissolve adherent soils from a substrate; and a nonionic surfactant in an amount sufficient to maintain said cationic surfactant in solution; and also a weak organic acid in an amount sufficient to impart to the composition said pH; wherein said composition is substantially free of any material which has an ozone-depletion factor of greater than about 0.15 and wherein said composition is substantially free of any material which would tend to form a solid with any of the ingredients comprising the composition, and its use to clean metallic and non-metallic surfaces.
摘要:
A process for removing soil from a substrate which includes the use of liquid cleaning composition including a solvating agent (for example, a monobasic ester) and a rinsing agent (for example, a perfluorocarbon), the solvating agent having: (i) a room temperature vapor pressure of no greater than about 40 mm Hg; and (ii) a solvating strength of no less than about 10; and the rinsing agent having: (iii) a room temperature vapor pressure of about 8 mm Hg to about 760 mm Hg; and (iv) an ozone depleting factor of no greater than about 0.15; wherein the ratio of the vapor pressure of the rinsing agent to the vapor pressure of the solvating agent is at least about 20 and such that, at the boiling temperature of the composition, the vapor space above the boiling composition would include the rinsing agent and be substantially free of the solvating agent, the process including immersing an article (for example, a printed circuit board having thereon solder flux) in the boiling composition, withdrawing the article from the composition and transferring it through the vapor space and into a container of relatively cool liquid rinsing agent from which it is withdrawn and transferred through vaporized rinsing agent and dried, and apparatus for carrying out the process.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for the removal of rosin soldering flux and adhesive tape residues from printed circuit and/or wiring boards, and for testing the quality of curing of U.V.-cured soldermask on such boards. The compositions of the invention contain terpene compounds, preferably in combination with terpene emulsifying surfactants to facilitate removal by rinsing in water.
摘要:
An apparatus and process adapted to clean oil contaminated vessels which uses a closed fluidized system through which fluidized sludge is recirculated to be sprayed under pressure on interior walls of the vessel. Emulsifying agents are added to the vessel to initially form a pool of fluidized sludge in the vessel which is then conveyed to a tank and from the tank conveyed to a high pressure spray where it is sprayed onto the walls to fluidize more sludge.
摘要:
A process for the use of an aqueous cleaning composition to remove organic material from a substrate. The cleaning composition preferably includes a nonionic surfactant and may also include a glycol ether solvent.
摘要:
A liquid cleaning composition comprising a solvating agent and a rinsing agent, the ratio of the vapor pressure of said rinsing agent to the vapor pressure of said solvating agent being at least about 20 and the use thereof to clean substrates that have soil adhered thereto.
摘要:
An industrial cleaning process in which a contaminant comprising soldering flux and/or adhesive tape residue is removed from a substrate contaminated therewith, for example, a printed circuit board contaminated with rosin flux, comprising: (A) contacting the substrate with a terpene-based cleaning composition which is substantially free of water-soluble organic material, for example, a surfactant, for a period of time sufficient to solubilize the contaminant; (B) removing the composition and solubilized contaminant from the substrate by contact with water having a temperature of about 70.degree. F. to about 140.degree. F. (but preferably lower) for a period of time of no longer than about 10 minutes to provide a substrate having a contamination rating of no greater than about 14 micrograms NaCl equivalent/square inch (MIL-P-28809A), and to thereby form a mixture comprising the composition, contaminant and water; and (C) separating the water from said mixture, the separated water being substantially free of water-soluble organic material and having a chemical oxygen demand of no greater than about 1,000 ppm. and also a cleaning process utilizing a cleaning composition comprising a major amount of a monobasic ester to clean surfaces that are contaminated with an organic residue.

摘要:
Disclosed is an industrial cleaning process in which a contaminant comprising soldering flux and/or adhesive tape residue is removed from a substrate contaminated therewith. The process comprises the steps of contacting the substrate with a terpene-based cleaning composition which is substantially free of water-soluble organic material; removing the composition and solubilized contaminant from the substrate by contact with water having a temperature of about 70.degree. F. to about 140.degree. F. for a period of time of no longer than about 10 minutes to provide a substrate having a contamination rating of no greater than about 14 micrograms NaCl equivalent/square inch (MIL-P-28809A), and to thereby form a mixture comprising the composition, contaminant and water. The process also comprises separating the water from said mixture, the separated water being substantially free of water-soluble organic material and having a chemical oxygen demand of no greater than about 1,000 ppm.
