Abstract
A method of clearing a polysaccharide ester membrane employing a clearing solvent comprising a first moiety selected from a group consisting of alcohols, ketones, ethers, esters, and mixtures thereof and a second moiety comprising a solvent selected from a group consisting of 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, methyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate, acetol, and mixtures thereof, the first moiety having a boiling point lower than the second moiety. The solvents employed as the second moiety of the instant invention's clearing solvent are much less toxic than solvents employed as the second moiety of prior art clearing solvents.
