Abstract

Abstract An oven-cleaning composition comprising about 2 to 30 weight percent of an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a copolymer of styrene and maleic anyhdride, the copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride having a molecular weight of about 500 to 50,000 and a molar ratio of styrene to maleic anhydride of about 1:1 to 4:1; about 1 to 10 weight percent of a caustic material which can be an alkali metal oxide or hydroxide, an alkali metal silicate, or an alkanol amine; and about 60 to 97 weight percent water.
