US Patent:

58491066, Dec 15, 1998

Filed:

May 26, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/070308

Inventors:

Paul L. Bolden - Fernandina Beach FL
Michael E. Hayes - Fernandina Beach FL
John E. Braddy - Fernandina Beach FL

Assignee:

Petroferm Inc. - Fernandina Beach FL

International Classification:

B08B 308
C11D 750

US Classification:

134 40

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. (but preferably lower) 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; and (C) 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. and also a cleaning process utilizing a cleaning composition comprising a major amount of a monobasic ester to clean surfaces that are contaminated with an organic residue.

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.
