DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an underlayer treatment composition for floors capable of removing old wax and undercoating in one step.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a wooden flooring material is coated with a floor varnish, wax, or the like, it is necessary to remove old wax or to perform a base treatment with sandpaper or the like. Particularly, in recent years, there are many wood flooring materials that have been subjected to UV coating, and the coating film is very hard with a pencil hardness of 5 to 6 H. Also, since the adhesion to floor varnish and wax becomes poor,
An undercoating treatment with sandpaper or the like is indispensable and must be carefully performed. Furthermore, polishing with sandpaper or the like requires a long time for the base treatment, and the finished appearance of floor varnish, wax, etc. is often impaired due to unevenness in the base treatment. As examples of impairing the finished appearance, there have been problems such as uneven gloss due to uneven polishing with sandpaper, peeling of the coating and discoloration due to excessive polishing.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention relates to a flooring composition for flooring, which can remove old wax and underlay in a single step, especially for wood flooring materials coated with UV. The purpose is to provide.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. The alcohol used in the present invention is used as a solvent, and various alcohols can be used. Such alcohols include, for example, cyclic or acyclic alcohols, such as aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, and alicyclic alcohols. Examples of the aliphatic alcohol include primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. As such an aliphatic alcohol, specifically, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, sec-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, methyl amyl alcohol,
2-ethylhexanol, methyl isobutyl carbinol and the like can be mentioned. Examples of the alicyclic alcohol include cyclohexanol and methylcyclohexanol. Further, as the aromatic alcohol, for example, benzyl alcohol, furfuryl alcohol,
Methylphenyl carbinol and the like can be mentioned.

[0006] The ether alcohol used in the present invention is used as a solvent, and various ether alcohols can be used. Ether alcohol means an alcohol having an ether bond in the alcohol. Such ether alcohols include methyl cellosolve, cellosolve, butyl cellosolve, isobutyl cellosolve,
tert-butyl cellosolve, isopropyl cellosolve, methoxybutanol, 3-methyl-3-methoxy-1-butanol, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, methyl carbitol, carbitol, butyl carbitol glycol ether, and the like. It is not limited to. Examples of the amine used in the present invention include a primary amine, a secondary amine, and a tertiary amine.
Examples of such amines include monoethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, isopropylamine, diisopropylamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine and the like. But are not limited to these.

The surfactants used in the present invention include:
Examples include anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and nonionic surfactants. Such surfactants include, for example, aliphatic cambonic acid and salts thereof, higher alcohol sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl phosphates, polyethers, polyester carboxylate, and high molecular weight polyester carboxylic acid. Polyamine salts, aliphatic amine salts, quaternary
Grade ammonium salt, long chain polyaminoamide and its phosphate, long chain polyaminoamide and neutral salt of high molecular polyester acid, sodium polyacrylate, saponified maleic anhydride / styrene copolymer, maleic anhydride / olefin Saponified polymer, sodium alkylnaphthalenesulfonate, sodium formalin condensate naphthalenesulfonate, sodium ligninsulfonate, polyethylene glycol alkyl phenyl ether, polyethylene glycol higher alkyl ether, dialkyl sulfosuccinate, sorbitan fatty acid ester ethylene oxide adduct, Alkyl naphthalene sulfonate sodium, alkyl phenol polyethylene ether, higher alcohol sulfate ester soda, sorbitan alkyl ester, polyoxyethylene Alkylene alkyl ethers, polyethylene glycol esters, polyoxyethylene alkyl amines dialkyl sodium sulfosuccinate esters and the like, but not limited thereto.

The abrasive particles used in the present invention include:
Diatomaceous earth, perlite, radiolite, kaolin, alumina, silicon oxide, silica sand, garnet, silicon carbide, boron nitride, iron oxide, chromium (III) oxide, cerium (IV) oxide
And the like, but are not limited to these.
The average particle diameter of the abrasive particles is preferably 5 to 40 μm
More preferably, the thickness is 10 to 30 μm. When the average particle diameter is less than 5 μm, it is difficult to improve the adhesion, and when the average particle diameter is more than 40 μm, the wooden flooring is easily damaged, which is not preferable. The floor treatment composition for floors of the present invention comprises the above alcohol, ether alcohol, amine, surfactant and abrasive particles, and the use ratio is preferably alcohol, preferably 5 to 50% by weight.
More preferably, 10 to 40% by weight, ether alcohol is preferably 5 to 40% by weight, more preferably,
10 to 30% by weight, amine, preferably 3 to 30% by weight, more preferably 5 to 20% by weight, surfactant is preferably 0.1 to 3.0% by weight, more preferably
0.5 to 1.5% by weight of abrasive particles, preferably 1 to 1%
Suitably, it is 0% by weight, more preferably 1 to 5% by weight.

If the alcohol content is less than 5% by weight, the ability to peel off old wax is not sufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50% by weight, it tends to cause odor, which is not preferable. If the content of the ether alcohol is less than 5% by weight, it is difficult to obtain sufficient adhesion to varnish, wax and the like.
If it exceeds 0% by weight, the cost increases and the wiping property deteriorates, and it tends to remain on the flooring surface, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the amine content is less than 3% by weight, the tackiness of the dissolved wax is not sufficient, which is not preferred. On the other hand, if the amount of the surfactant is less than 0.1% by weight, it takes time to remove the old wax, which is not preferable. Further, if the amount of the abrasive particles is less than 1% by weight, the adhesion to floor varnish and wax tends to deteriorate, which is not preferable.

[0010] In addition to the above-mentioned components, a water-soluble thickener, water, and the like can be appropriately added to the floor surface treatment composition of the present invention, if necessary. Examples of such a water-soluble thickener include, for example, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, casein, sodium caseinate, and the like, and dispersibility of abrasive particles and gaps between flooring materials. It has the effect of suppressing the penetration of drugs. The floor treatment composition of the present invention contains an alcohol, an ether alcohol, an amine, a surfactant and an abrasive particle, and the alcohol and the ether alcohol cause dissolution and swelling of the old wax, and are newly applied to the floor. Improves adhesion to varnish, wax and the like. The amine also makes the dissolved wax tack-free. Further, the surfactant promotes peeling of the old wax and shortens the time until the old wax swells. It also prevents and stabilizes liquid separation. Further, abrasive particles, floor varnish,
By improving the adhesion of the wax and rubbing,
The old wax can be easily peeled off.

Poor adhesion of top coat wax and varnish. In Comparative Examples 3 and 4, which contain a surfactant and a natural oil as main components, the old wax can be peeled off, but the adhesion of the newly applied varnish and wax is poor.

[0016]

According to the floor surface treatment composition of the present invention,
Since the peeling of the wax or the like and the base treatment can be performed at the same time, the steps of sanding and the like can be omitted. In particular, the adhesion can be improved even with a varnish originally coated with UV coating or a wooden flooring material having poor adhesion to wax.
