Abstract
To replace cleaning compositions based on 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (F113), the invention proposes a composition comprising, by weight, 93 to 99% of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (F365 mfc) and 7 to 1% of methanol. These two compounds form a positive azeotrope (b.p.=36.5.degree. C. at normal pressure). The composition, optionally stabilized, can be used for the cleaning and/or drying of solid surfaces, in particular for the removal of flux from printed circuits and for degreasing mechanical parts.
