| 20090281012 | Cleaning compositions incorporating green solvents and methods for use - An environmentally-friendly cleaning composition for industrial and consumer applications comprising (a) a blend of dibasic esters, (b) one or more surfactants (c) and, optionally, (d) water or a solvent. The dibasic esters are be derived from a blend of adipic, glutaric, and succinic diacids, and, in one particular embodiment, the blend comprises dialkyl adipate, dialkyl methylglutarate and dialkyl ethylsuccinate, wherein the alkyl groups individually comprise a C | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100273695 | Ink cleaning composition and methods for use - An environmentally-friendly cleaning composition for industrial and consumer applications comprising (a) a blend of dibasic esters, (b) one or more surfactants (c) and, optionally, (d) water or a solvent. The dibasic esters are be derived from a blend of adipic, glutaric, and succinic diacids, and, in one particular embodiment, the blend comprises dialkyl adipate, dialkyl methylglutarate and dialkyl ethylsuccinate, wherein the alkyl groups individually comprise a C | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110039749 | Methods for cleaning recyclable substrates or containers - A method for treating a contaminated substrate comprising the steps of contacting an emulsion to a substrate surface soiled with one or more contaminants, the emulsion comprising a blend of dibasic esters, whereby the emulsion is capable of emulsifying all or some of the contaminants, forming a resulting emulsion; removing substantially all of the resulting emulsion from the substrate surface; and, optionally, in recovering the contaminant, adding an amount of water or a solvent to the resulting emulsion effective to form at least a first phase layer comprising a substantial amount of the contaminant and a second phase layer comprising a substantial amount of the emulsion. The dibasic esters can be a blend of adipic, glutaric, and succinic diacids, and, in one particular embodiment, the blend comprises dialkyl methylglutarate and dialkyl ethylsuccinate, wherein the alkyl groups individually comprise a C | 02-17-2011 |
