Fluorochlorohydrocarbon/phosphoric acid ester/carboxylic acid drying compositions

Claim 1

A homogeneous composition of matter which comprises (1) up to 99.95% by weight of a solvent comprising at least 50% by weight of 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane and up to 50% by weight of one or more saturated aliphatic chlorohydrocarbons or chlorofluorohydrocarbons containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms and (2) a water-solubilizing additive therefor, said additive (2) comprising (i) at least one phosphoric acid ester of the general formula: ##STR5## in which Y is a radical of the formula --O--T--OC m H 2m ) r OH, wherein r is an integer ranging from 2 to 30, m is 2, 3 or 4, and T is a saturated or unsaturated, divalent aliphatic radical, a monocyclic aromatic radical, or an aliphatic-aromatic radical, with each such radical containing up to 40 carbon atoms, and Z is a radical Y or a hydroxyl group, with the proviso that T and r are such that the total number of carbon atoms in the radical Y is more than 20, (ii) at least one ester of the above formula (I), in which at least one amine salt of the general formula: ##STR6## in which R is a saturated or unsaturated, monovalent aliphatic radical containing up to 25 carbon atoms, the symbols R', which can be identical or different, are each an aliphatic radical, an hydroxyl substituted aliphatic radical, or an acyl radical, with each radical containing from 10 to 30 carbon atoms and comprising at least one ethylenic carbon-carbon double bond, and n is an integer ranging from 1 to 9, and (iii) at least one carboxylic acid of the general formula: R'--COOH (III) in which R' is as defined above.
