Abstract
A composition of matter for the self-pressurized (aerosol) spraying of dusters and similar products. The composition includes a fluorinated propene-based propellant and fluorinated butene-based volatile solvent. The composition is totally non-flammable under all reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. The fluorinated propene-based propellant may include trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene, as typified by Honeywell Fluorine Products Division's SOLSTICE® HFO-1234ze(E) product. The fluorinated butene-based volatile solvent may include cis. (or cis./trans.) 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, as typified by the DuPont Fluorochemicals Division's FORMACEL® 1100 (HFO-1336mzz) product. The fluorinated propene-based propellant component may be present at about 60 to 95%. The fluorinated butene-based volatile solvent component may be present at about 5% to 40%, but preferably between about 20% to 25% and ideally at about the azeotropic concentration of about 22%. Some or all of the fluorinated butene based component may be replaced with up to about 25% of a totally non-flammable component, such as iodotrifluoromethane (CIF.sub.3).
