Abstract

A cleaning agent for cleaning poorly accessible machine parts in transport or molding of materials in a pasty state, in particular for removal of molding material residues on changeover of the materials. The cleaning agent contains either inorganic salt or organic salt in solution with at least one of either an inorganic solvent and a polar organic solvent. A melting point of the inorganic salt or organic salt is above a processing temperature of the subsequent material. A boiling point of the inorganic solvent or the polar organic solvent is below a processing temperature of the subsequent material.
