The present application provides compositions comprising 1,2-dichloro-1,2-difluoroethylene (i.e., CFO-1112) and, optionally, an additional component. The present application further provides use of the compositions provided herein in cleaning, solvent, carrier fluid, and deposition applications.

Disclosed herein are solvent compositions and methods of using the solvent compositions. The solvent composition includes at least trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TFE-TFPE). The solvent composition may also include an oxygenated solvent, such as an alcohol or fluorinated ether. A method of cleaning the surface of an article includes contacting the surface with the solvent composition to dissolve, disperse, or displace a contaminant on the surface, and removing the solvent composition containing the contaminant from the surface.

The present invention provides a cleaner composition having excellent cleaning properties and appropriate drying properties. The present invention is a cleaner composition including: (A) a hydrofluoroolefin having a boiling point of 30° C. or more and less than 100° C.; and (B) at least one of a perfluoropolyether having a boiling point of 100° C. or more and a hydrofluoroolefin having a boiling point of 100° C. or more, where a mass ratio of the component (A) and the component (B) is 99:1 to 55:45.

An azeotropic composition a formulated with 1,1,1,3,3,3,-hexafluoro-2-methoxypropane and a second component selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. The azeotropic composition exhibits a substantially constant boiling point at a constant pressure and is useful for various cleaning and degreasing applications.

An azeotropic composition a formulated with 1,1,1,3,3,3,-hexafluoro-2-methoxypropane and a second component selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. The azeotropic composition exhibits a substantially constant boiling point at a constant pressure and is useful for various cleaning and degreasing applications.

Disclosed herein are multi-component, azeotrope-like compositions containing trans-dichloroethylene, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether. These compositions also form an azeotrope-like mixture with methanol. These compositions are useful as solvents in refrigeration flushing, oxygen system cleaning, foam blowing, and cleaning operations such as cold cleaning, vapor degreasing, and aerosol cleaners.

A cleaning solvent composition comprises from about 70 to about 95.7 weight percent trans-dichloroethylene, from about 15 to about 3.8 weight percent heptafluorocyclopentane, and from about 15 to about 0.5 weight percent of methylperfluoroheptene ethers. The composition may comprise from about 88 to about 94.2 weight percent trans-dichloroethylene, from about 6 to about 3.8 weight percent heptafluorocyclopentane, and from about 6 to about 2 weight percent of methylperfluoroheptene ethers. A method for cleaning articles of soiling substances comprises contacting the articles with the solvent composition by any suitable means such as a spray delivered by a propellant gas, or by contact with liquid and/or vapor solvent compositions, as in a conventional vapor degreaser apparatus.

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.

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.
