Abstract: A cleaner composition with improved cleaning of hydrophobic contaminants typically found on used brake assemblies and parts, including one or more low vapor pressure hydrocarbon solvents, one or more exempted volatile organic compounds, and a non-exempt volatile organic compound.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
