A method and composition for removing contaminant material from industrial equipment are disclosed herein. The method includes providing a solvent composition having methyl soyate, N-methylpyrrolidinone, an additional solvent, and a cationic surfactant. The method also includes contacting the contaminant material with the solvent composition and allowing the solvent composition to react with the contaminant material such that at least a portion of the contaminant material is no longer attached to the industrial equipment.

A composition for cleaning a substrate is provided. According to an embodiment, the composition for cleaning the substrate includes an organic solvent having a Hansen solubility parameter of 5 or more to 12 or less for polystyrene latex to the substrate.

The present disclosure is directed to novel derivatives of terpenes, particularly ester derivatives of terpene alcohols, and methods of making them, compositions comprising them, and methods for using them.

The invention relates to a process for removing red oils deposits formed in an installation comprising the use of a cleaning agent comprising one or more fatty acid esters to dissolve the red oils deposit and to form a mixture comprising the cleaning agent and the dissolved red oils; and removing the mixture comprising the cleaning agent and the dissolved red oils.

The present invention provides a semiconductor substrate cleaning method including a step of removing an adhesive layer provided on a semiconductor substrate by use of a remover composition, wherein the remover composition contains a solvent but no salt; and the solvent includes an organic solvent represented by formula (L) (in the formula, each of L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 represents a C1 to C6 alkyl group, and the sum of the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group L.sup.1 and that of the alkyl group L.sup.2 is 6 or less) in an amount of 80 mass % or more.
