Abstract: An alkaline detergent composition for hard surface comprises an alkaline agent (component A), a nonionic surfactant (component B), a chelating agent (component C), water (component D), at least one carboxylic acid compound (component E) selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by general formula (1) and general formula (2), and at least one anionic surfactant (component F) selected from the group consisting of surfactants represented by general formula (3) and salts thereof. Therein, the content ratio [component E (weight %)/component B (weight %)] is 1/1.5-15/1, the content ratio [component F (weight %)/component B (weight %)] is 10/1-1/5, and the pH at 25° C. is 12 or greater.

Abstract: There is provided a color change composition that remains stable in a single phase and that contains an indicator that produces an observable color change after a period of time to show that sufficient cleaning has been done or to indicate the thoroughness of the cleaning. This use indicating color change is useful for, for example, in soap for teaching children to wash their hands for a sufficient period of time. This composition may be added to many different base materials to indicate time of use or as a way to introduce enjoyment to the activity.

Abstract: There is provided a soap that contains an indicator that produces an observable change after a period of time to show that sufficient cleaning has been done or to indicate the thoroughness of the cleaning. The soap is preferably made from two components that produce a color and/or viscosity changes after about 30 seconds of use. This use indicating change is useful for, for example, teaching children to was their hands for a sufficient period of time.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions for removing silver soil from the surface of objects. These compositions contain a reducing agent, and an alkaline source, and may optionally contain various other components including a chelating agent, cleaning agent, filler, an anti-corrosion agent, a defoaming agent, an odorant, a dye, an antioxidant, or a bleaching agent. Methods of using the compositions are also disclosed, wherein the object to be cleaned is contacted with the composition and the object is then washed with an aqueous solution.

Abstract: A method is taught for cleaning photographic chemistry product fouling, including a proteinaceous portion and a non-proteinaceous portion from a liquid delivery system. The method comprises the steps of displacing resident product solution in the piping with water, hydrodynamically cleaning the piping system using two-phase flow a first time, chemically cleaning the piping system with an aqueous bleach solution to remove the proteinaceous portion of the photographic chemistry product fouling, chemically cleaning the piping system with a functionalized ethyl acetate solvent to remove the non-proteinaceous portion of the photographic chemistry product fouling, and hydrodynamically cleaning the piping system using two-phase flow a second time after the chemical cleaning steps to remove remaining residue. Preferably, after the second hydrodynamic two-phase flow cleaning step, the delivery system is subjected to a high purity water rinse.

Abstract: A cleaning composition and method for removing built-up residue and scum on a substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleaner for lithography which is excellent in the ability to dissolve a resist and highly safe to the human body and which can be used usefully to clean a coater such as in a coater cup, to remove an unnecessary resist from a substrate when or after coating of a resist, to remove the resist from the substrate after the object using the resist was achieved, and to clean and rinse the substrate after removal of the resist. The cleaner for lithography comprises a homogeneous solution of at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol alkyl ether, propylene glycol alkyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol alkyl ether, ethylene glycol alkyl ether acetate, acetic acid alkyl ester, propionic acid alkyl ester, alkoxypropionic acid alkyl ester, lactic acid alkyl ester, aliphatic ketone, and alkoxybutanol and at least one selected from alcohols having alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A cleaning process suitable for both mild and aggressive applications employs non-flammable, non-corrosive and environmentally friendly, fluorinated hydrobromocarbon solvent based cleaning compositions.

Abstract: A process for cleaning movie film, and especially cellulose acetate based polymer film, without causing film damage, comprises immersing the film into a cleaning solvent composition which comprises one or more halogenated hydrobromocarbons having from 1 to 3 carbons, from 1 to 3 bromine atoms and at least one chlorine or fluorine atom, such as 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoropropane, removing the film from the solvent and drying the film.

Abstract: A bleach and oxidation catalyst is provided comprising a catalytically active metal-complex having a poly-dentate ligand containing at least 6 hetero-atoms. Such metal-complexes can activate hydrogen peroxide, peroxy acids or molecular oxygen and were found to have both favourable stain removal and remarkable dye transfer inhibition properties. In addition, these complexes can be easily prepared.

Abstract: This invention relates to a solvent system and process for cleaning cellulose triacetate polymer camera film. The solvent system comprises n-propyl bromide and a mix of an alkyl bromide in which the alkyl group contains 4 to 7 carbon atoms and an alkane containing 6 to 7 carbon atoms.
