Disclosed herein are a solvent composition and methods of using the solvent composition. The solvent composition includes at least 80 wt. % of trans-1,2-dichloroetheylene (t-DCE), and 0.1 to 20 wt. % of at least one organic compound. The organic compound may be a hydrocarbon and/or an oxygenated solvent. The solvent composition may be used to clean a surface by contacting the surface with the composition to dissolve a contaminant on the surface. The composition may be used to remove a coating from a surface of a substrate by contacting the surface with the solvent composition to dissolve the coating and removing the composition containing the coating from the surface. The composition may also be used to deposit material on a substrate by dissolving the material in the solvent composition, applying the composition containing the material onto the substrate, and evaporating the composition from the substrate.

The present invention relates, in part, to ternary azeotropic compositions and mixtures including chlorotrifluoropropene, methanol, and a third component selected from isohexane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and petroleum ether. The present invention further relates to ternary azeotropic compositions and mixtures including chlorotrifluoropropene, cyclopentane, and a alcohol selected from methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.

A release solvent composition for releasing a thermosetting resin coating film coated on a thermoplastic resin molded article, and the release solvent composition containing 1,1,2,2,3,3,4-heptafluorocyclopentane and aromatic alcohols and having no flash point.

Cleaning fluids include at least two fluid components. The first fluid component is a hydrofluorothioether or a chlorinated hydrofluoroolefin, or at least one of the isomers of a hydrochlorofluoroolefin, and the second fluid component is an alcohol with 1-5 carbon atoms. The cleaning fluid provides enhanced removal of particulate contamination, improved reduction of particle reattachment, or a combination thereof when compared to a cleaning fluid comprising a fluorinated fluid.

A composition including an effective amount of trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene component combined with an effective amount of an alcohol selected from the group of methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, tert-butanol, isobutanol, 2-ethyl hexanol and any combination thereof, where the composition has azeotropic properties.
