Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure A new cleaner composition for chrome surfaces and the like consists of a mixture of coal oil with refined paraffin wax and a finely divided solid scouring material such as pumice powder. The mixture preferably is used absorbed into a suitable hand-sized pad of absorbent material and includes a deodorizer for the coal oil and a stabilizer.

NEW C~EANER COMP~SITION FOR ~IROM~ ~ND LIKE SU~F~CES.
Field of the Invention This invention is concerned with a new cleaner composition for chrome and like surfaces, and especially to such a composition for use absorbed in a conveniently-handled pad.
Review o~ the Prior Art Numerous attempts have been made hitherto to provide cleaners for chrome and like surfaces, but difficulty is experienced in providing such cleaners that are safe, effective and yet relatively inexpensive to produce.
Definition of the Invention It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a new cleaner composition for chrome and like surfaces.
It is a more specific object to provide a new cleaner composition for chrome surfaces that is particularly suitable for incorporation into a pad of absorbent material to facilitate its application to a surface.
In accordance with the invention there is provided a cleaner composition for chrome and like surfaces comprising in admixture:
(a) the solid hydrocarbon known as paraffin wax;
(b) the liquid hydrocarbon known as coal oil in the amount of from 400 to 500 ml for each 100 ml of the solid hydrocarbon;
(c) finely divided solid scouring material in the amount of from 75 to 100 grams per 100 ml of the solid hydrocarbon; and (d) a deodorizer effective with the liquid hydrocarbon.
Description of the Preferred Embodiments _ The new cleaning composition of the invention may be :, .. . . ~ . . .

~73310 employed in liquid form, but preferably it i5 used absorbed into a pad of suitable absorbent material, such as a resin-bound random fibxous mat ma-terial, for convenience in handling, packaging and application to the surface to be cleaned. Each pad will be of a size suitable to be gripped in the hand of an operator, and will be sold sealed in a readily-operable liquid-impervious wrapper.
The preferred composition, in a quantity suitable for incorporation into about 20 of such handy pads, is made ~`
by mixing together from about 400 to 500 ml of the liquid hydrocarbon known as coal oil with 100 ml of the solid ~;~
hydrocarbon known as refined paraffin wax. Into this mixture is incoporated from 75 to 100 grams of finely divided scouring material comprising pumice powder of grain size double f.
A particular preferred composition consists of about 450 ml of coal oil and 75 to 100 grams of pumice powder for each 100 ml of the refined paraffin wax.
The composition should also include a deodorizer effective with the coal oil, and I have found a particularly suitable material to be that sold under the trade mark "Neutroleum Alpha". ("Neutroleum Alpha" is the trade mark for an all-purpose deodorizing agent sold in Canada by Fritzsche, Dodge and Olcott Canada Limited.) From about 0.5 to 1.5 ml, and preferably 1.0 ml, is required for each 100 ml of the coal oil.
It is found advantageous to add to the composition a stablizing material such as sold under the trade "Fixateur Versalide".
("Versalide" is the trade mark of the Givandon Corporation for a polycyclic musk of the empirical formula C18H26O.) This product stablizes the product to maintain the deodorant incorporated 1~733~) therein so that it retains a pleasant odour more effectively over its useful life. From 1/2 to 1 ml is required for each 100 ml of the coal oil.
The resulting product is highly effective for the cleaning of chrome and like surfaces, and when incorporated in a pad as described is easily packaged, sold and used. The material is stable so that the product has a long shelf life and is ecomonical in use, being effective to clean a relatively large surface area.

Claims

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:

1. A cleaner composition for chrome and like surfaces comprising in admixture:
(a) the solid hydrocarbon known as paraffin wax;
(b) the liquid hydrocarbon known as coal oil in the amount of from 400 to 500 ml for each 100 ml of the solid hydrocarbon;
(c) finely divided solid scouring material in the amount of from 75 to 100 grams per 100 ml of the solid hydrocarbon; and (d) a deodorizer effective with the liquid hydrocarbon.

2. A cleaner composition as claimed in claim 1, , wherein the finely divided solid scouring material is pumice powder.

3. A cleaner composition as claimed in claim 2, further comprising :
the stablizer of the empirical formula C18H26O.

4. A cleaner composition as claimed in claim 2 or 3, wherein the finely divided solid scouring material is pumice powder of grade double f .

5. A cleaner composition as claimed in claims 1, 2 or 3 wherein the deodorizer is added in the amount of about 0.5 to 1.5 ml per 100 ml of the liquid hydrocarbon.

6. A cleaner composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 incorporated into a pad of absorbent material.

7. A composition as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the amount of liquid hydrocarbon known as coal oil is 450 ml per 100 ml of the solid hydrocarbon known as paraffin wax.
