A nonflammable aerosol cleaning composition is formulated with trans 1,2 dichloroethylene, 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane, 1,1,1,3,3 pentafluoropropane, HFC-134a, and carbon dioxide. The aerosol cleaning composition is formulated for heavy duty, high pressure, and high output cleaning applications for cleaning aviation parts, such as jet engines located about 10 feet away from a user.

Aerosol cleaning composition

A non-flammable ternary liquid cleaner is formulated from a first solvent that is a dichloroethylene, a second solvent that is a hydrofluorocarbon and a third solvent that is a fluoroketone having low flammability. The dichloroethylene is present in a concentration of at about 50 percent to about 60 percent by weight of the cleaner, the hydrofluorocarbon is present in a concentration of about 25 percent to about 35 percent by weight of the cleaner and the fluoroketone is present in a concentration of at about 13 percent to about 25 percent by weight of the cleaner.
