Abstract
The present invention relates to an aqueous based micellar solution in the form of a microemulsion which is an effective all-purpose cleaner and which has a flashpoint in excess of its boiling point which is typically greater than 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Claims19
A non-combustible solvent composition comprised of:
- a) at least a first solvent other than terpineol having a flashpoint in excess of 200.degree. F;
- and
- b) admixed with said first solvent an effective amount for solvent purposes of terpineol containing no significant amount of alpha and beta pinene wherein the flashpoint of said terpineol is at least about 212.degree. F.
A non-combustible industrial solvent, comprising:
- a) first and second organic solvents, other than terpineol each said organic solvent having a flashpoint in excess of 200.degree. F.;
- and
- b) an effective amount for solvent purposes of terpineol admixed with said solvents and containing no significant amount of alpha and beta pinenes so that the flashpoint of said terpineol is at least about 212.degree. F.
A high flashpoint water soluble composition, comprising:
- a) a solvent system other than terpineol miscible in water and having a flashpoint in excess of 200.degree. F.;
- and
- b) an effective amount for solvent purposes of terpineol containing no significant amount of alpha and beta pinenes and having a flashpoint of at least about 212.degree. F.
A method of removing grease and soluble contaminants from articles, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an article having a contaminant thereon;
- and
- b) removing the contaminant by applying to the contaminant a sufficient quantity of a terpineol which has no significant amount of alpha and beta pinene so that the flashpoint of said terpineol is at least about 212.degree. F.
