摘要 |
Substrates are cleaned by contacting the substrate with a cleaning composition, particularly an aqueous composition, including at least one compound of the formula (I): (R2)p-Ph-(CH2)m-COO-(AO)n-R1 (I) where R1, AO, n, M, Ph, R2 and p have defined meanings, particularly to give alkyl benzoates. Such compounds provide useful solvency to the cleaning formulations while having a relatively benign environmental profile.
