            -    the concentration of hydrogen peroxide has a ratio to the          
                 concentration of fluoroborate anions that is from about            
                 12.0:10 to about 20:1.0;                                           

            -    the concentration of hydrogen peroxide has a ratio to the          
                 concentration of nitric acid that is from about 0.50:1.0           
                 to about 0.90:1.0;                                                 

            -    the composition also comprises propylene glycol in a               
                 ratio to hydrogen peroxide, in the same concentration              
                 units, that is from about 0.13:1.0 to about 0.30:1.0; and          

            -    the composition comprises from about 0.46 to about 0.88            
                 g/l of benzotriazole.                                              

              8.  An aqueous liquid composition according to claim 7,               
         wherein:                                                                   
            -    said second mass consists of from about 44 to about 70             
                 g/l of nitric acid;                                                
            -    said sixth mass of fluoroborate anions corresponds to a            
                 concentration that is from about 1.50 to about 3.0 g/l in          
                 the total composition and is derived from  fluoroboric             
                 acid, its salts, or both;                                          
            -    the ratio of said sixth mass of fluoroborate anions to             
                 said second mass is from 0.029:1.0 to 0.055:1.0;                   
            -    said fourth mass consists of hydrogen peroxide and                 
                 corresponds to from about 25 to about 40 g/l of hydrogen           
                 peroxide in the total composition;                                 
            -    said fourth mass has a ratio to said sixth mass of                 
                 fluoroborate anions that is from about12.0:1.0 to about            
                 20:1.0;                                                            
            -    said fourth mass of hydrogen peroxide has a ratio to said          
                 second mass of nitric acid that is from about 0.50:1.0 to          
                 about 0.90:1.0;
