Fluoro-surfactant and fluoro-polymer free floor care compositions and uses thereof

Abstract

Hard surface, namely floor coating compositions free of fluoro-surfactants and free of zinc cross-link agents are disclosed. More particularly, hard surface, namely floor coating compositions containing an organic polymer comprising (i) styrene or vinyl toluene and at least one monoethylenically unsaturated acid or anhydride, (ii) acrylic polymers or modified acrylic polymers, or (iii) combinations thereof as the floor coating material with a plasticizing agent, solvent and/or a coalescent and/or cosolvent, without the use of zinc cross-link agents and fluoro-surfactants are disclosed. The aqueous compositions and methods of use provide desired floor coating characteristics with enhanced sustainability profiles.
