Abstract

For replacing cleaning compositions based on 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (F113), the invention provides a composition comprising 55 to 80% by weight of 1,1,1,2,2-pentalfuoro-3,3-dichloropropane (225ca) and 20 to 45% by weight of methyl tert-butyl ether. These two compounds form a negative azeotrope (b.p.=59.9.degree. C. at atmospheric pressure). The composition, which may be stabilized, can be used for cleaning solid surfaces, in particular for removing flux from printed circuits and for degreasing mechanical parts.
