Latest Patents
Ferber's latest patents include compositions for cleaning articles using 2-ethylhexanol and p-cymene. This invention relates to solvent compositions that effectively clean a wide range of soil types from dirty articles. The first class of solvent compositions is an oxidative stable mixture of non-polar aromatic hydrocarbons and an organic polar component, which is effective for cleaning low and intermediate polar soils. Additionally, water and surfactant can be added to create a water-in-oil emulsion for cleaning high polarity soils. The second class of solvent compositions involves a hydrogenated or dehydrogenated analogue of a terpene compound. This solvent composition is utilized in a process where a dirty article is contacted with the solvent under conditions that facilitate the removal of soil types from the article. Residual solvent contamination is addressed by contacting the contaminated article at an elevated temperature with an aqueous medium and/or a low-boiling solvent, followed by evaporation to remove the solvent residue.
