IN RECENT YEARS, FUNCTIONAL SUBSTITUTES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR CHLOROFLOUROCARBONS, METHYL CHLOROFORM, AND OTHER HALOGENATED SOLVENTS IN MOST OF THEIR LARGE-VOLUME APPLICATIONS. ADHESIVE RESIDUE REMOVAL IS ONE OF THE MOST DEMANDING OF THESE. TERPENE-BASED ADHESIVE RESIDUE REMOVERS HAVE BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS, AND HAVE ACHIEVED SUCCESS ESPECIALLY IN THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY. MORE RECENTLY, TERPENE AND OTHER HALOGEN-FREE PRODUCTS HAVE FOUND INCREASING ACCEPTANCE IN INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVE CLEANUP APPLICATION.

SEVERAL TERPENE-BASED PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES ARE DISCUSSED.
