Definitions

• Stainless steel is ubiquitous in commercial kitchens, home kitchens, office buildings, airports, and various other public spaces.
• the majority of cleaning products designed for use on stainless steel surfaces are both cleaners and polishers (including mixtures of mineral oil and water, or solvent and mineral oil).
• the oil in these products helps hide fingerprints by blending/covering them with the applied mineral oil.
• the oily layer provides the substrate a shiny appearance.
• Stainless steel products that utilize this clean and polish approach typically suffer from many drawbacks, including: streaking (e.g., it is difficult to get a streak-free shine); difficult to "spot clean" a portion of the surface (e.g., users typically have to clean an entire area to maintain a uniform oil layer); the product dries slowly, and the appearance changes during drying; attraction to dirt (e.g., oiled surfaces collect lint and dust easily); oil build-up (e.g., mineral oil left on surfaces can accumulate and is difficult to remove); and the inability to cut tough stains commonly found in restrooms.

• the different lithium silicate solutions (LSS) were added under continued stirring. Finally, the combined solutions were stirred for 15 minutes prior to coating onto the substrates. Solutions were prepared varying the solid weight ratio of zwitterionic polymer to lithium silicate (Zwit-Polymer/LSS). An overview of the Preparatory Examples can be found in Table 1.
• the coating solution (PE 1-22) was dropped (3 drops) onto the substrate using a disposable pipette and evenly rubbed onto the surface in an up and down movement using a lint free tissue (34567 Cleaning Tissue, 3M, Germany). Residual water was allowed to evaporate. This coating procedure was repeated four more times. After 24 hours of curing at room temperature, the samples were investigated in oil challenge tests.

• a drop of sunflower oil was applied to the coated surfaces of samples from Examples E1-E18 and Comparative Examples C1-C5, the samples were allowed to stand for a period of time of less than 5 minutes at room temperature.

• Table 3 illustrates that a coating composition comprising a zwitterionic polymer and lithium silicate can allow for "spot-cleaning" of oil condensate film from coated stainless steel surfaces by wet wiping.
• Stainless steel substrates coated only with lithium silicate at 2 wt-% were tested in oil abrasion tests. The results were similar to E20 in Table 3. However, an undesirable darker appearance of the stainless steel substrates was observed when lithium silicate was applied alone compared to applying the coatings comprising lithium silicate in combination with the zwitterionic polymer. Also, stainless steel substrates coated only with the zwitterionic polymer were not tested because a coating containing only the polymer is removed by rinsing with water and wet abrasion is an even more challenging test.
