Abstract: Azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions of effective amounts of 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane, heptane and an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol or isopropanol, to form an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition are disclosed that are useful as cleaning agents, refrigerants, aerosol propellants, heat transfer media, gaseous dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents, expansion agents for polyolefins and polyurethanes and as power cycle working fluids.
Abstract: Cleaning compositions comprising an acyclic aliphatic hydrofluorocarbon represented by the formula:C.sub.x H.sub.y F.sub.2x+2-ywhere x equals 4, 5 or 6, y equals 1, 2 or 3 with the proviso that when x equals 4, Y equals 2 or 3, and a co-solvent boiling between 20.degree. C.-105.degree. C. that are alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, optionally containing fluorine, having 1-4 carbons atoms, acetonitrile and nitromethane.
