Abstract

To replace the cleaning compositions based on 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (F113), the invention proposes a composition comprising, on a weight basis, 60 to 90% of 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (F141b), 9 to 33% of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (F365 mfc) and 1 to 7% of methanol. These three compounds form a positive azeotrope (b.p.=29.1.degree. C. at normal pressure). The composition, optionally stabilized, can be employed for the cleaning and/or drying of solid surfaces, in particular for the defluxing of printed circuits and for the degreasing of mechanical components.
