Definitions

  • the present invention provides an aqueous polishing composition comprising an ionic silicone surfactant and a film-forming polymer.
  • the polishing compositions can produce smooth and soil resistant coatings when applied to a substrate such as, for example, floor, wall, and bathroom surfaces.
  • the polishes are particularly well suited for application to floor surfaces.
  • the polish compositions perform as well as state-of-the art formulations containing a fluorocarbon surfactant.
  • the polishing composition contains from about 0.01 to about 5.0 weight percent ionic silicone surfactant based on the weight of the polishing composition.
  • the ionic silicone surfactant comprises a silicone group and one or more ionic groups, i one preferred embodiment the ionic group is anionic.
  • Suitable anionic groups include carboxylate, sulfonate, phosphonate, sulfate, phosphate, and the like.
  • the anionic group is a carboxylate.
  • a particularly preferred carboxylate group is phthalate.
  • a portion of the anionic groups can be an acidic moiety such as carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, phosphonic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like.
  • the average molecular weight of the surfactant is less than about 10,000.
  • the ionic silicone surfactant can further comprise a polyalkylene oxide such as polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polybutylene oxide, and mixtures thereof.
  • a polyalkylene oxide such as polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, polybutylene oxide, and mixtures thereof.
  • the polyalkylene oxide is polyethylene oxide.
  • the surfactant has a "T" structure with a siloxane backbone and an alkoxy pendant group containing an ionic end group.
  • the film formation test at ambient conditions was done using 6 drops of finish, applied with a knife coater (10 mil gap and %" width) on a stripped tile.
  • New Armstrong black vinyl composite tiles from St. Paul Linoleum, St. Paul, MN were used and were stripped using a 3M Super PolishTM (White) Floor Pad with 3M Low Odor Stripper (22H) diluted using Twist and FillTM applicator - 3M, St. Paul, MN.
  • the control finish (3M SpangleTM Floor Finish containing a fluorinated surfactant) was applied to each tile.
  • Each formulation was coated on two different tiles.
  • a visual rating was given in terms of wetting and leveling of the finish. The rating scale went from 1 to 5 with 5 being best.
  • the SpangleTM control finish was given a rating of 5. The average rating of the formulation on the two different tiles was reported.
  • nonionic hydrocarbon surfactants were each separately incorporated into the floor finish stock solution at two different active levels (0.5% and 1.0% by weight of total solution).
  • Tergitol TMN-6 was the surfactant in Comparative Example la
  • Dynol 604 was the surfactant in Comparative Example lb
  • Triton XL- 80N was the surfactant in Comparative Example lc.
  • These solutions were mixed for at least 30 minutes using magnetic stir bars.
  • These nonionic hydrocarbon surfactants showed poor anti-soiling properties (Table 2). When the concentration of the surfactant was increased from 0.5% to 1%, the soil resistance worsened.
  • Lambent Lube CPI a higher molecular weight anionic silicone surfactant (having a comb structure) was incorporated into the floor finish stock solution at two different active levels (0.5% and 1.0% by weight of total solution). This solution was mixed for at least 30 minutes using a magnetic stir bar. Lambent Lube CPI had minimal adverse affects on the final properties of the dried film i.e. maintained good anti-soiling properties (Table 2). The film made with this solution matched the "smooth" appearance of the control finish (Table 2). Thus, this silicone surfactant matched the wetting and leveling characteristics of the control floor finish.
