Also, if (B) is component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), then when the total of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, (A) can be between 15 parts by weight and 92 parts by weight. For this reason, formula (1) is based on the total content of component (A) and component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), which can produce an effect even when the content of component (A) is high. Note that the content of (b-1) is arbitrary as long as y1, which is the total content of (b-2) and (b-3) as described above, satisfies the relationship in formula (1). That is, if the content of (b-1) is y1', then y1' satisfies 100 - (x1 + y1) ≥ y1' ≥ 0.

[0036] When the sum of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, if (A) is less than 15 parts by weight, the cleaning performance is poor. Also, if the content of (A) exceeds 92 parts by weight, the drying performance is poor and safety is poor because the flash point can be detected. Furthermore, when the content of (A) is between 73 parts by weight and 92 parts by weight, if y1, which is the total content of component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), is less than (x1-73)×8÷19, the content of (A) is relatively large, resulting in poor drying performance and safety because the flash point can be detected.

[0037] When the total of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, (A) is preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 73 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 68 parts by weight or less. In these cases, the cleaning solvent composition has better drying properties and higher cleaning properties and safety.

[0038] If (A) is component (a-1), when the total of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, from the viewpoint of wipe-cleanability, it is preferable that (A) is 30 parts by weight or more, and particularly preferable that it is 45 parts by weight or more, and from the viewpoint of drying properties, it is preferable that it is 73 parts by weight or less, preferably 68 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferable that it is 45 parts by weight or less. Furthermore, if (A) is component (a-2), when the total of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, from the viewpoint of wipe-cleanability, it is preferable that (A) is 60 parts by weight or more, and from the viewpoint of drying properties, it is preferable that it is 60 parts by weight or less. If (B) is component (b-1), then when the total of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, it is preferable that (A) is 30 parts by weight or more and 73 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferable that it is 30 parts by weight or more and 68 parts by weight or less. Also, if (B) is component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), then when the total of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, it is preferable that (A) is 30 parts by weight or more and 92 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferable that it is 30 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less.

[0039] From the viewpoint of achieving superior effectiveness as a cleaning solvent composition, when the total amount of the cleaning solvent composition is 100 parts by weight, the sum of (A) and (B) is preferably 55 parts by weight or more, more preferably 60 parts by weight or more, even more preferably 80 parts by weight or more, even more preferably 85 parts by weight or more, and particularly preferably 90 parts by weight or more.

[0040] When the total amount of the cleaning solvent composition is 100 parts by weight, the sum of (C), (D), and (E) is preferably 45 parts by weight or less, more preferably 40 parts by weight or less, even more preferably 30 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 20 parts by weight or less. The amount of (C) is not particularly limited as long as it does not exceed the total amount of (C), (D), and (E) as described above, and may be 45 parts by weight or less, 40 parts by weight or less, 10 parts by weight or less, or 5 parts by weight or less. The respective contents of (D) and (E) are not particularly limited as long as they do not exceed the total contents of (C), (D), and (E) as described above, and may be 40 parts by weight or less, 20 parts by weight or less, 10 parts by weight or less, or 5 parts by weight or less. Within this range, the cleaning solvent composition exhibits superior effectiveness.

[0041] [Second cleaning solvent composition] The second cleaning solvent composition comprises one or more solvents (A) selected from the group consisting of (a-1) propylene glycol monomethyl ether and (a-2) 1-propanol, one or more solvents (B) selected from the group consisting of (b-1) 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, (b-2) methyl nonafluorobutyl ether and (b-3) methyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether, and one or more solvents (C) selected from the group consisting of (c-1) hydrofluoroolefin.

[0042] In the second cleaning solvent composition, component (C) together with components (A) and (B) constitutes the main component of the cleaning solvent composition. Component (C) is a component that may have the functions of component (A) and / or component (B). The second cleaning solvent composition may contain components other than components (A), (B), and (C) to the extent that it does not impair the effects of the present invention. Such components include (D) further components and (E) additives. Herein, components (A) to (E) are as described above in the first cleaning solvent composition, including in preferred embodiments.

[0043] <Composition of the second cleaning solvent composition> In the second cleaning solvent composition, the content of each component is preferably as follows: In the second cleaning solvent composition, when the total of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight, it is preferable that the content of (C) is 45 parts by weight or less, and the content of (A) and (C) is 15 parts by weight or more and 92 parts by weight or less, where if the content of (A) is more than 73 parts by weight and less than 92 parts by weight, then the content of (A) is x2, and the total content of (b-2) and (b-3) is y2, and the equation (2): 100-x2>y2>(x2-73)×8÷19 is satisfied.

[0044] Therefore, if (B) is component (b-1), the content of (A) may be more than 15 parts by weight and 73 parts by weight or less when the total of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight. Also, if (B) is component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), the content of (A) may be more than 15 parts by weight and 92 parts by weight or less when the total of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight. For this reason, formula (2) is based on the content of component (A) and the total content of component (b-2) and / or component (b-3) that can efficiently achieve the effects of the present invention even when the content of component (A) is high. Note that the content of component (b-1) and component (C) is arbitrary as long as y2, which is the total content of (b-2) and (b-3) as described above, satisfies the relationship in formula (1). That is, if the content of (b-1) is y2' and the content of (C) is z2, then y2' satisfies 100-(x2+y2)≧y2'+z2>0.

[0045] When the sum of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight, if the total content of (A) and (C) is 15 parts by weight or more, the cleaning properties tend to be superior. Also, if the total content of (A) and (C) is 92 parts by weight or less, the drying properties tend to be superior and the safety properties tend to be superior. Furthermore, when the content of (A) is 73 parts by weight or more and 92 parts by weight or less, if the total content of component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), y2, is (x2-73)×8÷19 or more, the total content of (A) is relatively low, so the drying properties tend to be superior and the safety properties tend to be superior.

[0046] If (B) is component (b-1), then when the total of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight, the combined content of (A) and (C) is preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 75 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less. Furthermore, if (B) is component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), then when the total of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight, the combined content of (A) and (C) is preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 92 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less. Furthermore, the content of components (A) and (C) is arbitrary within a range, provided that the upper limit of the content of (C) and the sum of the contents of (A) and (C) are satisfied. When the sum of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight, the content of component (A) is preferably 5 parts by weight or more. Also, when the sum of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight, the content of (C) is preferably 5 parts by weight or more, and particularly preferably 8 parts by weight or more. In these cases, the second cleaning solvent composition exhibits superior drying properties, as well as enhanced cleaning performance and safety.

[0047] When component (C) is cis-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, it is preferable that the content of (C) is 45 parts by weight or less when the total of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight. In addition, in the above case, from the viewpoint of wipe-cleanability, drying properties, etc., it is preferable that (B) is (b-1) and (A) is a combination of (a-1) and (a-2), and it is particularly preferable that the content of (a-1) is 30 parts by weight or more and 75 parts by weight or less when the total of (a-1) and (a-2) is 100 parts by weight. If component (C) is one or more selected from the group consisting of (E)-1-chloro-2,3,3-trifluoropropene and (Z)-1-chloro-2,3,3-trifluoropropene, then when the total of (A), (B), and (C) is 100 parts by weight, the content of (C) is preferably 30 parts by weight or less, more preferably 20 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 15 parts by weight or less.

[0048] From the viewpoint of achieving superior effectiveness as a cleaning solvent composition, when the total amount of the second cleaning solvent composition is 100 parts by weight, the sum of (A), (B), and (C) is preferably 60 parts by weight or more, more preferably 70 parts by weight or more, even more preferably 80 parts by weight or more, even more preferably 85 parts by weight or more, and particularly preferably 90 parts by weight or more.

[0049] The respective contents of (D) and (E) are as described above for the first cleaning solvent composition.

[0050] [Method for producing a cleaning solvent composition] The method for producing the cleaning solvent composition (hereinafter, including the first cleaning solvent composition and the second cleaning solvent composition) is arbitrary. The raw material components contained in the cleaning solvent composition can be produced by appropriately selecting known methods, for example, by performing one or more means selected from the group consisting of stirring, mixing, dissolving, and dispersion.

[0051] [Analysis method for each component of cleaning solvent composition] The content of each component in the cleaning solvent composition can be measured by conventional quantitative analytical methods for organic compounds, such as gas chromatography (GC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC / MS).

[0052] [Uses of cleaning solvent compositions] Because the cleaning solvent composition exhibits excellent solubility for oil, flux, and / or uncured resin, it can be used as a cleaning agent for cleaning objects to be cleaned that are contaminated with one or more substances selected from the group consisting of oily stains, oil, flux, and uncured resin. Furthermore, because the cleaning solvent composition exhibits excellent drying properties, it can be used as a cleaning agent for cleaning objects to be cleaned that are contaminated with dust.

[0057] Water-soluble oils are broadly classified into emulsion type, soluble type, and solution type. Emulsion type oils mainly consist of water-insoluble oils such as mineral oils and fatty oils and surfactants, and form a milky white emulsion when diluted with water. Soluble type oils also contain water-insoluble oils and surfactants, but become transparent to semi-transparent when diluted with water. Solution type oils mainly consist of water-soluble inorganic salts, etc., and become transparent when diluted with water. There are also emulsion-type silicone oils that are a mixture of silicone oil, surfactants, and water.

[0071] <<Dust>> Dust is not particularly limited and can include solid matter floating in the air (for example, solid particles smaller than 5 mm).

[0072] <<Oily stains>> Oily contaminants include oil stains, flux stains, and uncured resin stains. Oily contaminants may also contain dust. The oil, flux, and uncured resin that serve as raw materials for oily contaminants are as described above. Depending on the polarity of the oil, oily contaminants can be categorized into non-polar oily contaminants, oily contaminants due to polar components, and oily contaminants due to multiple components with different polarities. Flux stains include rosin, inorganic salts of amine compounds, organic acids, and components that have been partially altered or carbonized by reflow soldering at high temperatures. Furthermore, solder paste stains include the flux components and metal powder. Resin stains can be categorized into non-polar resin stains, oily contaminants due to polar components, and oily contaminants due to multiple components with different polarities, depending on the polarity of the resin components and components used in combination.

[0073] <Cleaning method> A cleaning method using a cleaning solvent composition (i.e., a method of using a cleaning solvent composition) includes bringing the cleaning solvent composition into contact with an object to be cleaned. The object to be cleaned is a substrate on which oily dirt, oil, flux, uncured resin, and / or dust are attached. In the cleaning method, by bringing the cleaning solvent composition into contact with the object to be cleaned, the oily dirt, oil, flux, uncured resin, and / or dust attached to the substrate are removed from the substrate. If the oily dirt includes solid contaminants such as dust, these solid contaminants can be removed simultaneously with the removal of the oily dirt.

[0074] <Base material> The material of the base material is not particularly limited, but examples include metals, fibers, glass, ceramics, elastomers, and plastics. Examples of metals include silver, zinc, nickel, iron, aluminum, copper, manganese, magnesium, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys (alloys of aluminum with one or more metals consisting of copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium, zinc, and nickel).

Examples of plastics include polypropylene resin, polyethylene resin, PET resin (polyethylene terephthalate resin), epoxy resin, acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, silicone resin, and ABS resin (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin). Furthermore, the substrate may be plastic, provided that the aforementioned oily stains, oil, flux, uncured resin, or dust are removed from the substrate.

[0075] Specific examples of the base material include apparatus and its components for obtaining cured resin products, metal processed products, electrical and electronic components, optical components, automobile parts, machine parts, semiconductor components, and display components.

[0076] Examples of electrical and electronic components include printed circuit boards and wiring boards such as ceramic substrates. Examples of optical components include optical lenses (e.g., camera lenses) and components for optical lenses (e.g., camera housings). Examples of automotive components include metal parts used in automobile shafts, frame components, exterior components, etc. Examples of mechanical components include bearings for vacuum pumps, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, cleaning equipment, motors, fans, etc., bearings for precision machinery such as watches, and components such as rollers for printing presses. Examples of semiconductor-related components include electronic components such as IC chips and resistors. Examples of display components include liquid crystal substrates, organic EL substrates, and inorganic EL substrates. The shapes of these components are not limited to plate-shaped members, but can also be pipe-shaped members with circular or rectangular cross-sections, long members, or members with other complex shapes. Because the cleaning solvent composition contains component (B), which has low surface tension, it has excellent penetration and is therefore particularly effective for cleaning objects with fine structures.

[0077] The items to be cleaned may be those used for routine maintenance, cleaned once or twice a day, or those used for overhaul, for example, cleaned once every six months to a year.

[0078] The cleaning solvent composition minimizes damage to the substrate (e.g., elastomers and resins). Therefore, the cleaning solvent composition may be a cleaning agent for cleaning a substrate containing one or more selected from the group consisting of elastomers and resins.

[0079] There are no particular limitations on the method for bringing the cleaning solvent composition into contact with the object to be cleaned. Examples include wiping (including manual wiping and mechanical wiping), immersion cleaning (liquid phase cleaning), spray cleaning (including spraying with a cleaning aerosol composition), shower cleaning, ultrasonic immersion cleaning, steam cleaning (gas phase cleaning), rinsing, and combinations thereof. The cleaning solvent composition is preferably a cleaning agent for wiping, a cleaning agent for brush cleaning, or a cleaning agent for rinsing. For cleaning aerosol compositions, refer to the description in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-105723. As an example of a cleaning method for an object to be cleaned by combining immersion cleaning and steam cleaning, an example is the cleaning method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2015-217319, which uses a cleaning apparatus having a cleaning tank that houses a cleaning agent and into which the object to be cleaned is immersed, and a steam tank that generates steam of the cleaning agent.

[0080] A cleaning method by wiping involves cleaning the surface of the object to be cleaned by wiping it with a cleaning solvent composition. Because a physical force is applied by wiping, this cleaning method is more effective than immersion cleaning. Examples of wiping cleaning include manual wiping and mechanical wiping. Manual wiping is not particularly limited and may be performed by rubbing the area with oily stains and / or oil attached with paper, cotton, cloth, cotton swabs, etc., soaked in the cleaning solvent composition, while bringing them into contact with the area with oily stains and / or oil attached; or by rubbing the area with the area with oily stains and / or oil attached with paper, cotton, cloth, etc., soaked in the cleaning solvent composition, while bringing them into contact with the area with oily stains and / or oil attached with a board or stick. Alternatively, the cleaning solvent composition may be sprayed and then wiped with cotton, cloth, etc. Mechanical wiping is a cleaning method that mechanically performs the manual wiping described above. In wipe-cleaning, the number of times the object to be cleaned is wiped is not particularly limited, as long as it is sufficient to remove oily dirt, oil, flux, uncured resin, and / or dust adhering to the object, and may be one or two or more times.

[0081] Brush cleaning is a cleaning method in which the surface of the object to be cleaned is cleaned by scrubbing it with a brush using a cleaning solvent composition. Because brush cleaning involves the application of physical force by the brush, it is a cleaning method that is more effective than immersion cleaning. Brush cleaning can be done manually or mechanically. The brush material may be synthetic fiber, animal fiber, plant fiber, or metal wire. Synthetic fibers include nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, acrylic, Teflon, polyphenylene sulfide, and fluororesin, and may contain abrasive particles, copper sulfide, elenon emulsion, etc. Animal fibers include horsehair, pig hair, sheep's wool, deer hair, and human hair. Plant fibers include tampico, palm, fern, fan palm, sisal, and palmyra. Metal wires include hardened steel wire, hardened wire, gold-plated wire, iron wire, stainless steel wire, brass wire, phosphor bronze, and beryllium copper. The surface may be cleaned by a brush immersed in a cleaning solvent composition, or by rinsing it first and then cleaning it with a brush.

[0082] A cleaning method using pouring involves applying a cleaning solvent composition to the surface of the object to be cleaned to achieve a cleaner. Because the physical force applied when the cleaning solvent composition is poured onto the surface of the object provides a more effective cleaning result compared to immersion cleaning. Methods for applying the cleaning solvent composition to the surface of the object include pouring the solvent composition from a bucket or tub, using a shower, spray, jet, or aerosol.

[0083] The cleaning time, which corresponds to the contact time between the cleaning solvent composition and the object to be cleaned, is not particularly limited as long as it is sufficient to remove oily dirt and / or oil from the substrate. For example, the cleaning time may be between 1 second and 2 hours. [Examples]

[0098] Test Example 6: Wipe Test (2) A galvanized iron plate (equivalent to JIS G3302, 30 mm long, 20 mm wide, 0.3 mm thick) was coated with rosin-based flux, baked on a hot plate at approximately 180°C for 10 minutes, and then left at room temperature for 10 days to obtain a cleaning test sample. The degree of flux removal after wiping with a cotton swab soaked in each composition was evaluated as follows. For subsequent wipes, a new cotton swab soaked in a new composition was used. ◎: It was cleaned by wiping it three times. ○: It was cleaned by wiping it four times. ●: It was cleaned by wiping it 5 times. ×: Even after wiping it five times, flux residue was clearly still present.

[0099] Test Example 7: Mineral Oil Cleaning Test A SUS304 plate (manufactured by Iwata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., 35mm x 15mm x 0.1mm) with 0.05g of mineral oil dropped onto it was used as the cleaning test sample. An ultrasonic cleaner US-13KS (oscillation frequency: 38kHz, high-frequency output: 360W) manufactured by SND Corporation was filled with tap water and adjusted to a water temperature of approximately 40°C. 50mL of the cleaning composition was placed in a 100mL beaker, sealed with aluminum foil, and immersed in the ultrasonic cleaner to adjust the liquid temperature of the cleaning composition to approximately 39-40°C. Then, the cleaning test sample was immersed in the cleaning composition for 3 minutes under ultrasonic conditions. After that, as a rinse wash, the sample was placed in a 100mL beaker containing 50mL of the same composition at 20°C (room temperature). After 1 minute, the sample was removed from the liquid and air-dried. The condition of the SUS304 plate was observed, and the cleaning performance was evaluated as follows. ◎: The surface of the SUS plate was cleaned. ○: A very small amount of residual oil was observed on the surface of the SUS plate, but this does not pose a practical problem. ×: Clear traces of oil were observed on the surface of the SUS plate.

[0100] Test Example 8: Separation Confirmation Test under Low Temperatures [method] 20 ml of each composition from Examples 1-191 was placed in a standard bottle (manufactured by AS ONE Corporation, 24 mL capacity) and left in a refrigerator (approximately 5-10°C) for 1 hour. ○: The composition was not cloudy and remained a clear liquid. ×: Obvious turbidity was observed, or obvious separation was observed. [result] All compositions in Examples 1 to 191 were marked with a "○". On the other hand, when component (B) of each composition in Examples 1 to 52 was replaced with (b'-3)NOVEC(trademark) 7300, all results were "×".

[0101] Based on the results of Test Examples 1-8, the following judgments were made regarding the detergent. Overall Judgment ◎+: Particularly desirable as a cleaning agent (In Test Examples 1-8, there were 0 ×s, and both drying and cleaning properties were ◎+ ("Dust" in Test Example 1 was "◎")). ◎: Particularly desirable as a cleaning agent (In Test Examples 1-8, there are 0 ×s, and both drying and cleaning properties are ◎, or one is ◎ and the other is ◎+ (in Test Example 1, "dust" is "◎")) ○~◎: More desirable as a cleaning agent (In Test Examples 1~8, there were 0 ×s and the cleaning performance was ◎) ○: Desired as a cleaning agent (In Test Examples 1-8, there were 0 ×s and the cleaning performance was ○) ●: Preferred as a cleaning agent (In Test Examples 1-8, × is 0 and the cleaning performance is ●) ×: Undesirable as a cleaning agent (One or more × marks in Test Examples 1-8)

[0102] Test Example 9: Comparison Test of Washing Methods (Preparation of cleaning test samples) A SUS304 plate (manufactured by Iwata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., 35mm x 15mm x 0.1mm) with 0.05g of mineral oil dropped onto its surface was used as a cleaning test sample. (Cleaning method) Wipe-cleaning (1): One set of two-ply tissue paper (manufactured by Oji Nepia Co., Ltd.) was folded into quarters to a size of 65 mm in length and 72 mm in width, and soaked with the cleaning composition of each example. It was then squeezed once between the thumb and index finger. The tissue paper soaked with each solvent composition was brought into contact with the surface of the SUS304 plate and wiped by rubbing with the hand. Wipe-cleaning was performed three times. For the second and subsequent wipes, a new tissue paper soaked with each solvent composition was used each time. Wipe-cleaning (2): The cleaning procedure was the same as in wipe-cleaning (1), except that the wipe-cleaning was performed twice. Brush cleaning: A commercially available toothbrush with polypropylene bristles was immersed in each solvent composition, removed, and then used to clean the surface of the SUS304 plate for approximately 10 seconds. This cleaning process was repeated three times. Washing (1): 2 ml of each solvent composition was sprayed onto the surface of the SUS304 plate in one go using a Pasteur pipette. Spray washing (2): 300 ml of each solvent composition was placed in an aluminum refillable air spray can A1631D (capacity 650 ml, manufactured by FIRSTINFO TOOLS CO., LTD.), and then nitrogen gas was filled (0.6 MPa). The aerosol composition was sprayed for 10 seconds from a distance of 50 cm from the cleaning test sample. Immersion washing: 50 mL of a washing composition at approximately 20°C was placed in a 100 mL beaker, and the washing test sample was immersed in the washing composition for 1 minute. Then, for rinsing, the sample was placed in a 100 mL beaker containing 50 mL of the same composition at approximately 20°C, and removed from the liquid after 1 minute. During both washing and rinsing, the test sample was grasped with tweezers and swung from side to side every second. Ultrasonic Immersion Cleaning: An ultrasonic cleaner US-13KS manufactured by SND Corporation (oscillation frequency: 38kHz, high-frequency output: 360W) was filled with tap water. 50mL of a cleaning composition at approximately 20°C was placed in a 100mL beaker, and the cleaning test sample was immersed in the cleaning composition for 1 minute under ultrasonic conditions. Then, as a rinse wash, the sample was placed in a 100mL beaker containing 50mL of the same composition at approximately 20°C, and removed from the liquid after 1 minute. During the rinse wash, the test sample was grasped with tweezers and swung from side to side every second. (cleanability) ◎: The surface of the SUS plate was cleaned. ○: A very small amount of residual oil was observed on the surface of the SUS plate, but this does not pose a practical problem. ●: A small amount of residual oil was observed on the surface of the SUS plate, but this does not pose a practical problem. ×: Clear oil residue was observed on the surface of the SUS plate, which poses a practical problem.

[0131] The first and second cleaning solvent compositions exhibited excellent drying properties, minimized damage to the substrate, and high cleaning performance and safety. Furthermore, the results were identical for the examples and comparative examples using (b-4) even when (b-4) was replaced with (b-2) or (b-4) was replaced with (b-3). Regarding Examples 1 to 8, the results of Test Examples 1, 6, and 7 showed that when the total of (A) and (B) was 100 parts by weight, if (A) was 30 parts by weight or more, the number of wiping cycles required to remove oily stains, oil, flux, uncured resin, or dust adhering to the object to be cleaned was reduced, resulting in superior cleaning performance. For Examples 1 to 8, based on the results of Test Example 3, when the total of (A) and (B) was 100 parts by weight, the drying properties were superior when (A) was 68 parts by weight or less. From Examples 9 to 31, when (B) is component (b-2) and / or component (b-3), the effects of the present invention were achieved when (A) was 92 parts by weight or less. Furthermore, from Examples 49 to 52, even when the content of (A) was 73 parts by weight or more and 92 parts by weight or less, the effects of the present invention were achieved because y1, which is the sum of the content of components (b-2) and (b-3), satisfies the relationship of formula (1): 100-x1≧y1≧(x1-73)×8÷19. Examples 32 to 52 demonstrate that the effects of the present invention were achieved even when multiple components (A) and (B) were used. Examples 53 to 191 relate to cleaning solvent compositions containing components (A) to (C). For example, as in Example 68, even when the content of (A) and (B) in the first cleaning solvent composition is outside the specified range, the effects of the present invention were achieved by using a second cleaning solvent composition that also incorporates component (C).

[0132] Comparative Example 1 consisted only of component (A), and therefore, based on the results of Test Example 2, its safety was inferior. Comparative Examples 2-17 consisted only of glycol-based solvents other than component (A), and therefore, particularly as shown in the results of Test Example 2, their safety was inferior. Furthermore, they were inferior in any of Test Examples 1-5, and while they had excellent drying properties, minimized damage to the substrate, and high cleaning properties, they were not solvent compositions. Comparative Example 18 consisted only of component (B), and therefore, based on the results of Test Example 1, its cleaning performance was inferior. Since Comparative Examples 19-20 consisted only of component (C), the damage to the substrate was not suppressed, particularly as shown in the results of Test Examples 4 and 5. Comparative Examples 21 and 22 were less safe than those of Test Example 2 because, when the total of (A) and (B) was 100 parts by weight, (A) was greater than 73 parts by weight, and (b-2) and (b-3) were not included, and the total content y1 of (b-2) and (b-3) did not satisfy the relationship in formula (1). Comparative Examples 23 and 24 had inferior cleaning performance because, when the total of (A) and (B) was 100 parts by weight, (A) was less than 15 parts by weight, as shown in the results of Test Example 1. Comparative Examples 25-26 were solvent compositions containing fluorine-based solvents other than component (B), and in particular, the results of Test Examples 4 and 5 showed that damage to the substrate was not suppressed. Comparative Examples 27-66 were solvent compositions containing glycol-based solvents other than component (A), and were inferior in any of Test Examples 1-5. They were not solvent compositions that exhibited excellent drying properties, minimized damage to the substrate, and high safety. Comparative Examples 67 to 76 were inferior in any of Test Examples 1 to 7 because either the amount of component (A) exceeded 92 parts by weight, the total content y1 of (b-2) and (b-3) did not satisfy the relationship in formula (1), or the amount of component (A) was less than 15 parts by weight. As a result, they were not solvent compositions that exhibited excellent drying properties, minimized damage to the substrate, and high safety. Comparative Examples 77-88 were solvent compositions containing fluorinated solvents other than component (B), and their safety was inferior according to the results of Test Example 2.
