Aqueous alkali cleaning compositions

摘要

Aqueous alkali cleaning compositions containing an alkali metal salt, an N-alkyl pyrrolidone derivative, and specific ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymers having molecular weights of from about 1500 to about 2500. Such compositions can be employed as an aqueous concentrate or solution to clean a substrate such as a circuit board, wiring board or metal surface. Specific ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymers protect plastic parts from corrosion by N-alkyl pyrrolidone derivatives without compromising N-alkyl pyrrolidone derivative cleaning ability.
