Abstract
A detergent composition which can effectively cleanse electronic and precision parts and produces waste effluent water which is very easily treated is disclosed. The detergent composition comprises one or more nonionic surface active agents and, when diluted with water to a concentration of 5%, the aqueous solution has a cloud point of 5.degree.-100.degree. C. Disclosed is also a process for cleansing electronic and precision parts comprising the steps 1) to 3): 1) cleaning the electronic and precision parts with a detergent composition comprising one or more nonionic surface active agents and wherein a 5% by weight of aqueous solution of said detergent composition has a cloud point of 5.degree.-100.degree. C., or with an aqueous solution of this detergent composition, at a temperature below said cloud point, 2) rinsing the electronic and precision parts with a rinse water resulted in step 1) at a temperature of 5.degree.-100.degree. C., and 3) heating the rinse waste water to a temperature above its cloud point; thereby separating the oil components contained therein.
