Abstract
A composition for treating masonry materials comprises a mixture of water, a light-duty liquid detergent composition, methyl salicylate, calcium chloride and muriatic acid. The composition is diluted with water for use as a cleaning solution. Also, the composition is diluted with water to provide a specific cleaning fluid which is mixed with an equal volume of a powdered pigment composition to form a protective coating for masonry materials.
Claims1
A composition for treating masonry materials comprising equal volumes of a specific cleaning fluid and a powdered pigment composition to provide a protective coating for application to masonry materials wherein said specific cleaning fluid comprises 2 to 5 parts by volume water and approximately 1 part by volume of a mixture of approximately the following parts by weight:
- (a) 1,600 parts water,
- (b) 2 to 10 parts of a light-duty liquid detergent composition consisting essentially of:
- from about 8% to about 35% of an alkyl ether sulfate obtained by sulfating and neutralizing the condensation product of from about 5 to about 12 moles of ethylene oxide and 1 mole of a high molecular weight primary alcohol having from about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms and having the formula
- R--(OC.sub.2 H.sub.4).sub.r --OSO.sub.3 --M
- wherein R is an alkyl having from about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms;
- M is a salt-forming cation;
- and r has an average value of from about 5 to about 12;
- an alkyl sulfate derived from a primary alcohol having the formula
- ROSO.sub.3 --M
- wherein R is an alkyl having from about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms;
- and M is a salt-forming cation;
- the ratio of said alkyl ether sulfate to said alkyl sulfate being from about 2:1 to about 6:1, from about 2% to about 6% of an alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate having a straight-chain alkyl of from about 12 to about 14 carbon atoms and wherein the cation of said sulfonate is an alkali metal, ammonium or alkylolamine;
- from about 2% to about 8% of a trialkylamine oxide having one straight-chain alkyl of from about 12 to about 14 carbon atoms and two short-chain alkyl groups of from 1 to about 2 carbon atoms;
- and the balance water,
- (c) 4 parts methyl salicylate,
- (d) 320 parts calcium chloride, and
- (e) 1,280 parts of 20% strength muriatic acid, and wherein said powered pigment composition comprises approximately 70% to 95% by weight Portland cement, approxmately 5% to 20% by weight lime and approximately 2% to 10% by weight titanium dioxide.
