PROCESS FOR CLEANING A POROUS SURFACE, ESPECIALLY STONE AND SUITABLE COMPOSITION

The invention concerns a method for cleaning particles, in particular generated by pollution, embedded on the uneven surface of a material such as stone, characterised in that it consists in the following steps: spreading an adhesive paste containing a solvent based on an aqueous and/or organic solution, within the outline of the surface to be cleaned, like a sticky pad, said paste having an adhesive power greater than that of the particles on the surface to be cleaned in the presence of the solvent; controlling the evaporation of the solvent on the external surface of said pad so that the particles come unstuck from the material surface and migrate on the opposite pad surface; remove the pad with the particles, after the pad has hardened sufficiently. The invention also concerns the related composition.

Detergent and rinse-aid compositions and methods

Compositions and uses thereof to clean and/or rinse tableware, wherein the compositions include a sulfonated silane.

DETACHMENT COMPOSITION AND PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING PHOTOPROTECTORS FROM A SUBSTRATE.

SE DESCRIBE UNA COMPOSICION DESPEGANTE PARA QUITAR RESISTENTES DE SUSTRATOS QUE CONTENGAN HIDROXILAMINA Y AL MENOS UN ALKANOLAMINA. OPCIONALMENTE, UNO O MAS DISOLVENTES POLARES PUEDEN TAMBIEN INCLUIRSE EN LA COMPOSICION DESPEGANTE. LA COMPOSICION DESPEGANTE ES ESPECIALMENTE UTIL PARA QUITAR FOTORESISTENTES DE UN SUSTRATO DURANTE LA FABRICACION DE CIRCUITOS INTEGRALES SEMICONDUCTORES Y PARA DESPEGAR REVESTIMIENTOS POLIMEROS CURADOS, TALES COMO REVESTIMIENTOS DE POLIIMIDA. A DETACHING COMPOSITION IS DESCRIBED FOR REMOVING RESISTANTS FROM SUBSTRATES CONTAINING HYDROXYLAMINE AND AT LEAST ONE ALKANOLAMINE. OPTIONALLY, ONE OR MORE POLAR SOLVENTS MAY ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE DETACHING COMPOSITION. THE DETACHING COMPOSITION IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR REMOVING PHOTORESISTENTS FROM A SUBSTRATE DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF INTEGRAL SEMICONDUCTING CIRCUITS AND FOR REMOVING CURED POLYMER COATINGS, SUCH AS POLYIMIDE COATINGS.

Semiconductor process residue removal composition and process

A two carbon atom linkage alkanolamine compound composition comprises the two carbon atom linkage alkanolamine compound, chelating agent, and optionally, an aqueous hydroxylamine solution. The balance of the composition is made up of water, preferably high purity deionized water, another suitable polar solvent, or a combination thereof. A process for removing photoresist or other residue from a substrate, such as an integrated circuit semiconductor wafer including titanium metallurgy, comprises contacting the substrate with the composition for a time and at a temperature sufficient to remove the photoresist or other residue from the substrate. Use of the two carbon atom linkage alkanolamine compound in the composition and process provides superior residue removal without attacking titanium or other metallurgy, oxide or nitride layers on the substrate.

Stain remover for textured walls and ceilings

The present invention is a powdered stain remover formulation which when mixed with water exhibits bleaching and stain discoloration properties together with the required detergency, and also exhibits mildewcide and bacteriocidal properties. The formulation includes calcium hypochlorite; a surfactant to promote detergency by emulsification, such as sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and a polyacrylic acid salt, such as sodium polyacrylate, to further promote cleaning by chelation. The stain remover formulation is applied to the stained surface by spraying, rolling or brushing. In this manner, water stains, tobacco, soot, mold, mildew and other stains are readily removed from the desired surface, such as sprayed textured walls and ceilings, tiles, masonry, fiberglass and plastic furniture. Importantly, this is done so without any further need to rub or wipe the surface
