Abstract
A liquid water-based solution for application of temporary floor markings on a polyurethane coated floor and a method of applying the same is disclosed. According to one aspect, the solution comprises 5-15% by weight of an acrylic copolymer, 1%-2% propylene glycol, 0.5%-2% dipropylene glycol mono-methyl-ether, 2-8% of titanium dioxide; and 1-5% of ethelyne glycol. The solution is dispensable through a foam applicator so that it can be used to form temporary lines for recreational and athletic activities. The solution has a drying time when applied to the polyurethane floor of under five minutes and can remains water soluble for an extended period of time so that it can be removed without damaging the underlying surface.
