Provided is a cleaning solution composition which, when cleaning the surface of a semiconductor substrate or glass substrate, does not damage SiO.sub.2, Si.sub.3N.sub.4, Si, and the like forming a layer on the substrate surface, can be used under processing conditions applicable to a brush scrub cleaning chamber equipped with a CMP apparatus, and can efficiently remove compounds derived from abrasive particles in a slurry. This cleaning solution composition for cleaning the surface of a semiconductor substrate or glass substrate contains: one or two or more fluorine atom-containing inorganic acids or salts thereof; water; one or two or more reducing agents; and one or two or more anionic surfactants, and has a hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of less than 7.

The present invention broadly relates to aqueous cleaning compositions and the use thereof in cleaning soiled surfaces.

The disclosure generally relates to a composition and process for cleaning residue and/or contaminants from microelectronic devices having said residue and contaminants thereon. The residue may include post-CMP, post-etch, and/or post-ash residue. The compositions and methods are particularly advantageous when cleaning a microelectronic surface comprising copper, low-k dielectric materials, and barrier materials comprising at least one of tantalum-containing material, cobalt-containing material, tantalum-containing, tungsten-containing, and ruthenium-containing material.

A method of cleaning highway and road construction equipment is disclosed.

Bioactive coatings that include a base and a protein associated with the base for actively promoting the removal of organic stains are provided. In aspects, bioactive coatings that are stabilized against inactivation by weathering are provided including a base associated with a chemically modified enzyme, and, optionally a first polyoxyethylene present in the base and independent of the enzyme. The coatings are optionally overlayered onto a substrate to form an active coating facilitating the removal of organic stains or organic material from food, insects, or the environment.

The invention is directed to a high flashpoint alcohol based cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting composition and its method of use on food contact surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to a quick drying and ready to use cleaning and sanitizing formula with an isopropyl alcohol level low enough to permit a reduced flammability rating while maintaining microbiological sanitizing and disinfecting properties.

Ambient moisture-activatable surface treatment powders containing persalt, positively charged phase transfer agent and alkaline pH buffering may be activatable without the addition of liquid. Some ambient moisture-activatable surface treatment powders are substantially free of bleach activators and/or chlorine. Methods of use of ambient moisture activatable powders include applying them to the surfaces to be treated.

There is provided a liquid detergent composition comprising an internal olefin sulfonate salt at a high concentration and being excellent in stability at low temperatures without lowering the detergency. The liquid detergent composition comprises the following components (A) to (D), wherein a mass ratio of the component (A) to a total amount of the component (B) and the component (C), (A/(B+C)), is 0.6 or more and 5 or less; and a mass ratio of the component (B) to the component (C), (B/C), is 0.05 or more and 1.8 or less. (A): 10 to 40% by mass of an internal olefin sulfonate salt having 16 to 18 carbon atoms in which a content of an internal olefin sulfonate salt having a sulfonic group at the C-2 position is 5% by mass to 25% by mass; (B): 0.5 to 16% by mass of a fatty acid salt represented by the following formula (1): R.sup.1COOM (1) wherein R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group or alkenyl group having 10 or more and 14 or less carbon atoms; and M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal ( atom), ammonium or an organic ammonium; (C): an organic solvent having one or more hydroxyl groups; and (D) water.

In one embodiment, a polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate composition is provided which includes a polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate, such as sodium laureth ether sulfate (SLES), water, a mono-alcohol, and a polyol. The two alcohols form a synergistic blend, enabling a significant reduction of the viscosity of the polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate composition. Also provided is an embodiment of a method for modifying the rheology of polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate by use of a mono-alcohol and a polyol simultaneously. Finally provided is an embodiment of a detergent composition which is prepared by use of the polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate composition described herein, in addition to other commonly known ingredients.
