According to the present invention, there is provided a cleaning agent composition for a semiconductor device substrate including at least one of wiring and an electrode in which the wiring and the electrode contain cobalt or a cobalt alloy, the cleaning agent composition including a component (A): at least one compound selected from the group consisting of specific compounds; and a component (B): water.

Disclosed is an exterior chemical cleaning composition for a vehicle. The chemical cleaning composition may be capable of functioning as a universal cleaning solvent includes 2% hydrogen peroxide by volume, predetermined quantities of acetone water, propylene carbonate, dimethyl glutamate, dimethyl adipate, glycerin, panthenol, tocopheryl acetate, desired amount of distilled water, 1% by volume of acetate fragrance, 5 benzophenone-1, benzoate, yellow 11 and remaining water content. The chemical cleaning composition may be utilized for forming an effective solvent for cleaning a variety of surfaces including car body, kitchen hood, and other surfaces subjected to deposition of all kinds of stain, dirt, oil, marks, droppings and other coatings. The chemical cleaning composition may be used as an effective, simple and quick means for cleaning a vehicle body without affecting the underlying paint coating on the vehicle body.

The present disclosure relates to a method of cleaning a surface to be cleaned, wherein said surface is selected from a household item or a vehicle, said method comprising contacting said surface with an aqueous solution comprising a polyester polyquaternary (PEPQ) compound. Formulations useful for this purpose are also disclosed.

Disclosed herein are the methods of using di-cationic or di-anionic compounds, which are derived from primary amine through an aza-Michael addition with an activated olefin, in a corrosion control composition to mitigate corrosion of a surface in a water system. The disclosed methods or compositions are found to be more effective than those methods or compositions including commonly used single quaternary compounds for mitigating corrosion for a metal surface in water systems.

A novel class of compounds is described here. The disclosed novel compounds have one hydrophilic group and two identical hydrophilic ionic groups. The two hydrophilic groups of the disclosed compounds contain or end with a cationic or anionic charged group. The disclosed novel compounds herein can be used as surfactants in an article, product, or composition, or for some other purposes. A method to synthesize the disclosed novel compounds is also described.
