Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composition making it possible both to strip coatings, for example based on paint, and to clean objects soiled with oils or greases.
  • the first stripping and degreasing compositions of the above type were based on methylene chloride and or on trichloro-1, 1, 1 ethane (T.1.1.1.) (See for example US.-A. 2.507.983 and DE-A. 2.524.752). Such compositions have the advantage of being effective and inexpensive.
  • compositions can cause damage to the environment and more particularly to the ozone layer (Montreal protocol aimed at stopping the use of T.1.1.1 normally at the end of 1995).
  • compositions are not always suitable for the stripping of coatings of different nature such as water paints, oil paints, lacquers, varnishes and plastic resins, and above all are not effective for both stripping coatings and cleaning of various objects to remove oils and greases.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a composition which is precisely effective both for pickling and for cleaning. It also aims to propose a composition of the above type which
  • .a variant may be free of solvents.
  • a stripping and / or cleaning composition comprising by volume: a) 1 to 90% of at least one C1-C4 dialkyl ester of at least a C4-C6 aliphatic diacid. b) 99 to 1% of at least one ether chosen from ethers having:

Mention may also be made of the compounds having an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain, saturated or comprising at least one unsaturation, substituted by at least one radical of the alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl type.
  • the aliphatic chain comprises 3 to 12 carbon atoms, and preferably 4 to 10 carbon atoms, these values are given taking into account the longest hydrocarbon chain of the molecule, substituents excepted.
  • the aliphatic hydrocarbon chain is substituted by two aryl and / or alkylaryl groups.
  • the aryl radical has 6 carbon atoms
  • the alkylaryl radical corresponds to an aromatic ring substituted by at least one alkyl group, preferably C - C4.
  • the bond between the alkylaryl substituent and the aliphatic hydrocarbon chain of the compound can take place via one of the carbon atoms of the alkyl part of this compound, or, preferably directly through one of the atoms of aromatic nucleus.
  • the aliphatic hydrocarbon chain of the compound may also comprise at least one alkyl radical, more particularly comprising 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the methyl group being preferred.
