Abstract
A composition capable of cleaning and protecting the surface of a substrate and of rendering it shiny, without subsequent polishing, comprising an aqueous system containing, in specified concentrations, a solid film forming high molecular weight acrylic polymer, a non-film forming resinous material, a plasticizing agent, a fluorocarbon surfactant and a blend of ether alcohol component and isopropanol in a pre-determined concentration range, the latter blend and the concentration of alcohol therein being primarily responsible for providing the substantially improved cleaning ability of the instant compositions.
Claims7
An aqueous composition for application to a substrate to clean said substrate and provide a substantially clear, glossy, protective finish thereon comprising an aqueous phase;
- from about 20.0-50.0% of a non-volatile, solid, film-forming acrylic polymer;
- from about 5.0-20.0% of a non-film forming resinous material selected from the group consisting of aldehyde/ketone resins, esters of polyacrylic acid and C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkanols, polyacrylic resins, esters of monomeric resin acids, condensation products of monomeric resin acids, polyesters of organic non-resinous polycarboxylic acids and monomeric polyhydric alcohols, phenol-formaldehyde polycondensates, melamine-formaldehyde condensates, urea-formaldehyde resins and styrene resins;
- said film-forming and non-film forming materials being dispersed in said aqueous phase;
- from about b 0.5-2.0% of a plasticizer;
- from about 0.01-1.0% of a fluorocarbon surface active agent;
- wherein the improvement comprises
- from about 2.0-10.0% of an ether alcohol;
- and
- from about 2.0-10.0% of isopropanol;
- the percentages being based on the total weight of the composition.
