Abstract
Aqueous degreaser compositions are formulated in the form of stable emulsions containing at least one sparingly water soluble organic solvent having specified compositional characteristics, a viscosifying thickener and water. The viscosifying thickener is present in an amount such that when the mixture of the organic solvent and thickener are subjected to sufficiently energetic mixing and/or shear conditions, the initially formed, unstable 2-phase agglomerate is transformed into a uniformly opaic, stable emulsion having a viscosity of at least 500 centipoise and a droplet size of approximately 0.1 to 3 millimicrons. The compositions so formulated exhibit excellent stability and degreasing efficacies.
