Disclosed are binary azeotrope-like compositions consisting essentially of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (HFC-365mfc) and 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane (HFC-43-10mee) or nonafluoromethoxybutane. The present invention further includes ternary or quaternary azeotrope-like compositions consisting essentially of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane and 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane or nonafluoromethoxybutane, and additionally trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, n-propyl bromide, acetone, methanol, ethanol or isopropanol.

Azeotrope-like compositions of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane

Disclosed are non-flammable, high-solvency compositions having utility as cleaning agents in the electronics and refrigeration industries, and as a medium for mold release agents. The compositions are non-flammable by Flame Extension Test ASTM D-3065 and Flash Point-Tag Closed Cup Test ASTM D-56-82, and have a Kauri Butanol value of at least about 40 by ASTM 1133-94. The compositions comprise the components: a.) trans-1,2-dichloroethylene; and b.) solvent selected from: i.) oxygen-containing solvents selected from alcohols, ketones, esters, siloxanes, and ethers; and ii.) hydrocarbon solvents represented by CHor CH, wherein t is from 4 to 8; and c.) an inerting agent selected from: i.) hydrofluorocarbon inerting agents represented by the formula CHF, wherein x is from 3 to 8, y is from 1 to 4, and the mole ratio of F/H in the hydrofluorocarbon inerting agent is greater than 1.6; ii.) hydrofluorocarbon ether inerting agents represented by the formula CFOCH, wherein r and s are independently selected from 1 to 6, and r is greater than or equal to 2s; and iii.) hydrochlorofluorocarbon inerting agents represented by the formulae CHClF, CHClF, and CHClF.
