Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor polish composition, more specifically, an aqueous floor polish composition which has a good odor, excellent cleaning properties on the floor surface, and is easy to use without requiring preliminary cleaning. It relates to a composition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, the area occupied by a wooden floor in a house has been increasing due to changes in lifestyle and the like in general households. The wooden floor has a unique feel and draws a line from the chemical floor, but in general, natural wood or plywood coated on it is used.
Invasion of water from parts such as vascular bundles and seams, and chairs
It is easily damaged by friction with the table, etc., and protection with a wax coating is essential.

However, the wax conventionally used at home contains impurities contained in the polymer, a solvent used as a leveling agent and the like, and these substances cause an unpleasant odor, resulting in a bad feeling in use. At the same time, there was a high need for ventilation, which was a cause of restricting use.

Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 46375/1987 proposes a liquid detergent composition capable of forming a coating film, but the unpleasant odor, which is particularly important for domestic use, is completely considered. In addition, since it uses an alkali-soluble resin as a film-forming agent, it has no water resistance and is ineffective as a floor protector. In addition, since it contains montanic acid, the floor surface is slippery , It was a significant obstacle to use in corridors and entrances.

Further, in the case of an aqueous floor polish composition, when an alkaline agent is contained, it has excellent detergency for oily stains, and if the alkaline agent is volatile, it does not remain in the coating agent, so that It does not adversely affect the physical properties and floor surface, and is indispensable for improving the wettability and the adhesion of the coating film by cleaning the floor surface as well as the leveling agent.
However, ammonia, which has been conventionally used as the alkali agent, has too high volatility, so that it volatilizes in the early stage of the drying process after coating, and the detergency cannot be sufficiently exerted. Therefore, the floor surface needs to be preliminarily washed before use, and the work is complicated.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a floor polish composition which is free from unpleasant odor, has excellent cleaning power on the floor surface, and has a good feeling in use.

[0007]

Under such circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive studies and as a result, by blending a specific compound, undesired substances or by-products remaining in the polymer emulsion or the polymer were derived. It has been found that the odor that occurs can be masked. Further, when a polymer having a free carboxyl group is used and the pH is set to 7 or more, the carboxyl group dissociates and is negatively charged, and the repulsion between the polymers lowers the structural viscosity in the drying process, so that the coating is spread. It was found that the property is improved. Further, if amino alcohol is used as the alkaline agent, it is found that the volatility is not too high and the detergency and the effect of the above-mentioned carboxyl group can be sufficiently exerted because it does not volatilize until the latter stage of the drying process after coating. completed.
