  • Degreasing compositions derived from levulinic acid (a compound obtainable from biomass) and process for degreasing metal surfaces
    Patent number: 8834635
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new degreasing composition comprising at least one levulinic acid ester according to general formula (I) CH3CO(CH2)2COOR1 (I) in which R1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic, hydrocarbon radical having 2 to 56 carbon atoms, wherein said hydrocarbon radical is optionally hydroxysubstituted. The present invention also relates to a process for degreasing a metal surface comprising the step of contacting said metal surface with the composition of the present invention.

  • COMPOSITIONS FOR DEGREASING HARD SURFACES
    Publication number: 20140256609
    Abstract: Suggested are degreasing compositions comprising at least one dialkyl amide according to general formula (1) R1CO—NR2R3 (I) in which R1CO stands for a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic, optionally hydroxysubstituted acyl radical having 2 to 56 carbon atoms, and R2 and R3 represent independently from each other alkyl radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

  • COMPOSITIONS FOR DEGREASING HARD SURFACES
    Publication number: 20110192421
    Abstract: The invention relates to degreasing compositions comprising at least one dialkyl amide of formula (I), R1CO—NR2R3, in which R1CO represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic, optionally hydroxysubstituted acyl group having 2 to 56 carbon atoms, and R2 and R3 independently represent alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The compositions are useful for degreasing hard surfaces, particularly metal surfaces.
