Certain booster compositions and methods of using the booster compositions to clean fermentation equipment are disclosed. The booster compositions are useful in environments with variable, changing, unstable, or limited alkalinity sources found within fermentation equipment.

A waxing composition configured to be used in combination with an aqueous washing composition, and methods of concurrently washing and waxing a surface using the waxing composition and the aqueous washing composition in combination. The waxing composition includes at least one hydrophobic film-forming material, wherein the waxing composition present in a non-stabilized hydrophobic phase that is different from the washing composition.

System for selectively contacting a cleaning composition with a surface of a turbine engine component is presented. The system includes a cleaning apparatus and a manifold assembly. The cleaning apparatus includes an upper portion and a lower portion defining a cleaning chamber configured to allow selective contact between the cleaning composition and a surface of the first portion of the turbine engine component. The upper portion includes a plurality of fill holes in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber, and the lower portion includes a plurality of drain holes in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber. The manifold assembly is configured to selectively circulate the cleaning composition from a reservoir to the cleaning chamber via the plurality of fill holes, and recirculate the cleaning composition from the cleaning chamber to the reservoir via the plurality of drain holes. Methods for selectively cleaning a turbine engine component is also presented.

A detergent composition has high detergency and reduced erosivity with respect to resins. The detergent composition contains the following component (A) and component (B) A mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B) is expressed as component (A): component (B)=40:60 to 55:45:

component (A): 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene

component (B): a hydrofluoroolefin of the following general formula:

C.sub.nF.sub.2n−1—O—C.sub.mH.sub.2m+1.

n is an integer of 5 to 10, and m is an integer of 1 to 5.

A composition is provided for a non-aqueous foaming aerosol cleaner or lubricant. Foam builders, especially silicone glycol copolymers, are used to generate high density foam of the solvent-based formula. A cleaning product variant may be introduced via an air intake route for loosening deposits in an internal combustion engine. The high foam aerosol product dispenses easily without causing engine stalling. A process of lubricating a target substrate is also provided.

The present invention generally relates to methods of cleaning residual pesticide from an agricultural vessel, and to kits and compositions useful for the practice of such methods.

A cleaning composition, which is suitable for cleaning fuel delivery systems, air-intake systems, intake valves, and combustion chambers, includes at least 3 wt. % of a polyether component, at least 5 wt. % of a polar solvent, and at least 5 wt. % a non-polar solvent. The polyether component is selected from polyethers, polyetheramines, and mixtures thereof.

A system and method for disinfection of food processing equipment is described. The system comprises one or more nozzle for delivering disinfecting fog, and is adapted to be used so that there is free space in front of the nozzle, and an angle of at least 20° for the expanding fog. Further disclosed is a food processing system comprising at least one food processing unit that comprises a housing and food processing means within the housing, the housing being provided with a plurality of nozzles on an inside surface to deliver disinfectant and/or cleaning fluid towards the food processing means. Methods of disinfecting food processing equipment are also provided.

Provided is a cleaning agent composition that is capable of efficiently performing the substitution of a molding raw material in a hot runner type mold. The cleaning agent composition contains 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin; 1 part by weight to 20 parts by weight of at least one type of fatty acid ester that is selected from glycerin fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, or sorbitan fatty acid ester; and 1 part by weight to 15 parts by weight of a metal salt of a fatty acid and/or a hydroxyfatty acid. The cleaning agent composition is used for cleaning a flow channel for resin in a hot runner type mold.

Disclosed herein is a decontaminant aqueous solution for decontaminating diisocyanate drum, including 20-97 wt % of at least one alcohol or derivative thereof, based on the total weight of decontaminant aqueous solution, and an alkaline source in an amount effective to provide the solution a pH of at least 8. Further disclosed herein is a method for decontaminating diisocyanate residues in an emptied drum with the decontaminant aqueous solution.
