A cleaning solvent composition comprises from about 0.2 to 15 weight percent of mono- or di-phosphate ester in free acid form, and from about 85 to 99.8 weight percent of one or more halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. Other cleaning solvent compositions further comprise one or more alcohols. For example, such alcohol-containing compositions may comprise from about 0.2 to 15 weight percent of mono- or di-phosphate ester in free acid form, from about 2 to about 25 weight percent of one or more alcohols, and from about 25 to about 97.8 weight percent of one or more halogenated hydrocarbon solvents.

Cleaning solvent compositions and their use

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.
