A composition for stripping tin, lead or solder, as well as any underlying copper-tin alloy, from copper surfaces, containing an alkane sulfonic acid, preferably methane sulfonic acid, an inorganic nitrate, preferably ferric nitrate, and an inhibitor component. The composition effects rapid stripping without any appreciable formation of sludge or precipitate or suspended particles, and without any substantial attack on the underlying copper surface.
