Abstract
An automotive wax emulsion created by a unique cold, reverse, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion process is described herein. The emulsion is created at room temperatures under high shear in minutes. The formulation can carry various abrasive materials, shine enhancement actives, wax and lubrication components without preservatives. The formulation provides for an emulsion with unique “Quick-Break” type characteristics. When applied by hand, the emulsion breaks upon friction with the contact surface releasing the oil-soluble actives in a controlled manner that eliminates the need for electric or pneumatic machine buffing.
Claims20
An automotive wax liquid composition comprising a water-in-oil emulsion comprising:
- a. an oil phase carrier at about 12-20 wt %;
- b. one or more emulsifiers at about 2-7 wt %;
- c. a shine enhancing agent at about 0.1-3 wt %;
- d. a waxing agent at about 0.1-4 wt %;
- e. a lubricating agent at about 0.1-2 wt %;
- f. a polishing agent at about 0.1-8 wt %;
- and
- g. water at about 55-80 wt %;
- wherein the water-in-oil emulsion is free of volatile organic compounds and preservatives,
- wherein the water-in-oil emulsion is a stable emulsion and does not require addition of viscosifying agents or emulsion stabilizers.
An automotive body treatment liquid composition comprising a water-in-oil emulsion comprising:
- a. an oil phase carrier at about 10-25 wt %;
- b. one or more emulsifiers at about 1-10 wt %;
- c. a lubricating agent at about 0.1-2 wt %;
- d. a shine enhancing agent at about 0.1-3 wt %;
- e. one or more surface enhancing agents selected from a group comprising:
- a polishing agent, a waxing agent, or a combination thereof at about 0.1-20 wt %;
- and
- f. water at about 55-80 wt %;
- wherein the water-in-oil emulsion is free of volatile organic compounds and preservatives,
- wherein the water-in-oil emulsion is a stable emulsion and does not require addition of viscosifying agents or emulsion stabilizers.
A method of forming an automotive wax product, water-in-oil emulsion, the method comprising:
- a. charging a mixing vessel under vortex agitation with a plurality of components, the components comprising:
- i. an oil phase carrier at about 12-20 wt %;
- ii. one or more emulsifiers at about 2-7 wt %;
- iii. a shine enhancing agent at about 0.1-3 wt %;
- iv. a waxing agent at about 0.1-4 wt %;
- and
- v. a lubricating agent at about 0.1-2 wt %;
- wherein the temperature is about 20-25° C., and wherein the vortex agitation is caused by a mixer running at a first mixing speed;
- b. adding a polishing agent at about 0.1-8 wt % and running the mixer at a second mixing speed;
- c. adding a tracing agent at about 0.1-8 wt % and running the mixer at a third mixing speed;
- d. adding a first volume of water;
- and
- e. optionally increasing the speed of the mixer to a fourth mixing speed and adding a second volume of water, thereby producing a water-in-oil liquid emulsion;
- wherein the combined volumes of water comprise about 55-80 wt % of the emulsion,
- wherein the water-in-oil liquid emulsion is a stable emulsion and does not require addition of viscosifying agents or emulsion stabilizers, and wherein the water-in-oil liquid emulsion is free of volatile organic compounds and preservatives.
