A blowing agent composition includes a blowing agent and a nucleating agent. The nucleating agent includes 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylcyclobutane. The 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylcyclobutane is present in the blowing agent composition in an amount from about 0.5 wt. % to about 7 wt. % of the blowing agent composition.

A composition includes methyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate, acetone, or a combination thereof, dimethyl sulfoxide, methyl glyoxal, propylene carbonate, gamma butyrolactone, ethylene carbonate, 2-chloro-1-propanol, or a combination thereof, and optionally thiophene, 1,3-dioxolane, thioacetic acid, or a combination thereof. The respective amounts of each solvent are further described herein, and the total amounts of methyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, methyl glyoxal, propylene carbonate, thiophene, 1,3-dioxolane, and thioacetic acid sum to at least 90 volume percent of the total volume of the composition. The composition can be particularly useful for removal of a coating from a surface. Accordingly, a method of removing a coating from a surface is also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides minimum-boiling, homogeneous azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions of 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylcyclobutane (TFMCB) with each of ethanol, n-pentane, cyclopentane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone).

The use of compositions comprising 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethyl cyclobutane (TFMCB) as a solvent are disclosed, wherein the TFMCB may be formulated into solvent compositions including a co-solvent such as ethanol or trans-dichloroethylene (trans-DCE). The solvent compositions may be in the form of a sprayable aerosol composition, and may be used for applications including degreasing or removal of coatings such as paints and adhesives.

A heat transfer fluid including 1-trifluoromethyl-1,2,2-trifluorocyclobutane (TFMCB) for high temperature heat transfer applications and environmental and safety requirements, which is non-flammable (and has no flash point below 100 F.), has low toxicity, an ODP of <0.01 and a GWP of 44, is dielectric and electrically stable.

The present invention relates to a polish remover formulation. The present invention more specifically focuses on the use of a blend of glycerol ketals and/or acetals in polish remover formulations, notably for promoting the polish removing performances.

A method for reducing adhesion between a maskant and a substrate, wherein the maskant is adhered to a surface of the substrate, the method comprising applying a composition to the maskant.

A low VOC composition for removing coatings from a wide variety of surfaces that is biodegradable, made from renewable resources, and environmentally friendly. The composition further pertains to products which can remove a surface coating with little mechanical action.

Disclosed is a liquid mixture (preferably an oil-in-water emulsion) for cleaning spilled paint, varnish, dye and/or surface coating, and a cleaning method comprising a step of applying said mixture to a fresh stain left by paint, varnish, surface coating and/or dye.

This invention relates to a coating film remover composition comprising water, benzyl alcohol, and at least one kind of cellulose derivative, the coating film remover composition having a pH in the range of 5 to 9.
