Abstract
The disclosure relates to floor stripping compositions, methods of making the floor stripping compositions, and methods of using the floor stripping compositions. In particular, the floor stripping compositions have a low surface tension. Preferably, the floor stripping compositions have low contact angles on a variety of surfaces. Most preferably, the floor stripping compositions are suitable for stripping acrylic floor finishes and acrylic polyurethane hybrid floor finishes.

A floor stripping composition comprising:
- from about 55 wt. % to about 85 wt. % of a solvent system;
- wherein the solvent system comprises a first solvent and a second solvent;
- wherein the first solvent is benzyl alcohol and is in an amount of from about 50 wt. % to about 65 wt. % of the composition;
- from about 1 wt. % to about 12 wt. % of a nonionic surfactant system;
- wherein the nonionic surfactant system comprises at least two nonionic surfactants;
- wherein the composition contains less than 0.01 wt. % of a fluorinated surfactant;
- a coupler;
- wherein the coupler comprises sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium toluene sulfonate, sodium cumene sulfonate, potassium toluene sulfonate, ammonium xylene sulfonate, calcium xylene sulfonate, sodium alkyl naphthalene sulfonate, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate, or a mixture thereof;
