Abstract
A cleaning and drying solvent is disclosed which has excellent cleaning power and drying property and finds uses as a hand-cleaning agent, a precise cleaning agent and a drying agent for industrial parts. Since it does not contain halogens causing the depletion of the ozone layer, it is available as a solvent replacing freon. The cleaning and drying solvent is composed of a siloxane compound, in particular, hexamethyldisiloxane, an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition of hexamethyldisiloxane and a lower alcohol, or a mixture of hexamethyldisiloxane and each of ketones, carboxylic esters, low molecular saturated hydrocarbons and low molecular alcohols.
