No. Many such solvents are hydrocarbons of the alkyl or cycloalkyl type or Comprises halogenated hydrocarbon residues and is well above room temperature, ie, about 20 ° C. It has a boiling point above.   The formulator of this type of composition must provide, in part, good degreasing properties. The need, and in part, aesthetic considerations, will dictate the choice of co-solvent . For example, kerosene hydrocarbons are highly degreasing in the compositions of the present invention. Works well, but may have a foul odor. Kerosene is in commercial condition Must also be very clean before use. Wear at home, stinking with stench If not, the prescriber should have a relatively pleasant odor, or be significantly modified by flavoring It is likely that one will select a solvent that has   C<sub>6</sub>~ C<sub>9</sub>Alkyl aromatic solvents, especially C<sub>6</sub>~ C<sub>9</sub>Alkyl benzene, preferably Cutylbenzene exhibits excellent grease removal properties and has a low pleasant odor. same Thus, olefin solvents having a boiling point of at least about 100 ° C., especially α-olefins, Preferably 1-decene or 1-dodecene is a good degreasing solvent.
