JPH0680933A - Floor polish composition - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title composition which has excellent performances and is desirable in respect of wastewater treatment because of the freedom from a phosphorus component by mixing a polishing component comprising a polymer or both a polymer and a wax with an adipic ester. CONSTITUTION:The composition comprises a polishing component comprising a polymer or both a polymer and a wax, and an adipic ester and optionally colloidal silica. This composition is comparable in performances to the conventional floor polish composition containing tributoxyethyl phosphate, and is desirable in respect of water treatment because of being freed from a phosphorus component. Further, when it contains colloidal silica, it can show markedly improved resistance to heel marks and still more excellent durability. Furthermore, because the surface resistivity of the coating film can be lowered, the film can be protected from electro-static adhesion of dust, etc., even in a dry season such as winter and can be kept beautiful in appearance.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to floor polish compositions. Specifically, it is applied to the floor surface of wooden floor materials, chemical floor materials made of synthetic resin, stone floors such as concrete and marble, and dried to form a film to maintain the aesthetics of the floor material and protect the floor surface. The present invention relates to a floor polish composition (a floor polish composition).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are three types of floor polish compositions: aqueous, emulsifying and oily. In recent years, with the development of various new types of flooring materials, a solvent is used in the oil type. It cannot be used depending on the type of floor material. Therefore, the mainstream of floor polish is water-based or emulsifiable, and as a non-volatile component, it imparts flexibility to a polymer such as a synthetic resin or a polymer and wax, or a coating film made of the polymer, and well adheres to a floor material. Including a plasticizer for Furthermore, a leveling agent is added to help the hydrophobic floor surface to wet well and form a uniform film. Tributoxyethyl phosphate is exclusively used as the plasticizer and the leveling agent.

[0003]

However, since this tributoxyethyl phosphate contains a phosphorus component,
If this is blended with the floor polish, the phosphorus component is mixed into the waste water, which is not preferable. It is an object of the present invention to solve this problem and to provide a floor polish composition containing a plasticizer and a leveling agent comparable to tributoxyethyl phosphate.

[0004]

Under the above background, the inventors of the present invention have made various studies for the purpose of obtaining an excellent plasticizer and leveling agent for floor polish, which is an alternative to tributoxyethyl phosphate. As a result, it was found that the above object was achieved by the specific compound.

That is, the present invention provides a floor polish composition containing a polishing component comprising a polymer or polymers and waxes and adipic acid esters. Hereinafter, to explain the present invention in detail, the polymer is the same as that used as a film-forming component in conventional floor polish, but in particular, styrene-acrylic copolymer resin, acrylic resin, Urethane resins and urethane-acrylic resins are used and these are usually used as polymer emulsions.

As the waxes, natural waxes such as plant-based, animal-based, mineral-based, petroleum-based waxes, etc., which have been conventionally used as film forming and polishing components for floor polish, synthetic waxes, polyethylene waxes, etc.
Synthetic waxes such as modified waxes are used, and these are also usually emulsion-dispersed.

The proportion of the polymer and waxes used in the floor polish cannot be generally stated because it varies depending on the gloss and durability of the floor polish or the type of floor material, but the polymer is usually 1 to 50% by weight as a solid content. %, And waxes have a solid content of about 0 to 15% by weight.

The floor polish composition of the present invention is characterized by containing adipic acid esters as a plasticizer and a leveling agent. Examples of the adipic acid esters include dimethyl adipate, di-2-ethylhexyl adipate, diisodecyl adipate, diisobutyl adipate, dibutoxyethyl adipate, dibutyl adipate, dibutyl diglycol adipate. Esters and the like can be mentioned, which are usually added in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight.

Further, the floor polish composition of the present invention contains colloidal silica together with adipic acid esters to improve durability and antistatic effect.
Colloidal silica is a colloidal solution in which ultrafine particles of silicic acid anhydride are dispersed in water with water as a dispersion medium, and the size of the silicic acid particles forming the dispersoid is about 1 to 100 mμ. Known commercially available products include Snowtex (Nissan Chemical Co., Ltd.) and Cataloid-S (Catalyst Chemical Co., Ltd.). This is typically 0.1 to 1 as solids.
0% by weight, preferably 0.4-6% by weight is used.

The floor polish composition of the present invention further comprises, if necessary, an alkali-soluble resin, a polymer and a coating film used as an auxiliary agent for assisting the leveling of polymers and waxes and improving the peelability. Fluorine-based interface that facilitates film formation even at room temperature, a film-forming aid consisting of a high-boiling solvent that volatilizes and does not remain after the film is formed, and lowers the surface tension of the emulsion to improve wettability to the floor An appropriate amount of an activator, a polyvalent metal compound for improving detergent resistance and releasability, other emulsifiers, preservatives, antifoaming agents and the like may be contained.

The floor polish composition of the present invention is produced by blending the above-mentioned components and water so that the solid content is about 10 to 45% by weight, and uniformly mixing with a usual mixer. Next, the present invention will be described more specifically according to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
