Abstract
A cleaning composition is disclosed which is suitable for cleaning substrates and particularly for cleaning flux residues from a printed circuit board. The cleaning composition comprises a hydrocarbon component, a compatibilizing agent, a multibasic ester additive, and optionally water. The multibasic ester may be an alkanoic acid ester of a diol or polyol, an alkanoic acid ester of a hydroxy alkanoate alkyl ester, or and alkyl ester of a compound containing two or more carboxylic acid groups and one or more hydroxyl groups which are optionally esterified with an alkanoic acid group. The cleaning composition may be used as a solution or as an emulsion or dispersion to clean a substrate.
