Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a composition, more specifically, to a siloxane fluid based composition, for use in dry cleaning and to a dry cleaning process using the composition.
- PERC perchloroethylene
- petroleum-based materials as the cleaning solvent.
- PERC suffers from toxicity and odor issues.
