Abstract
A wax composition comprising a wax component and a copolymer. The copolymer comprises a backbone, a pendant aliphatic group, a pendant fluorinated group, and a pendant polydiorganosiloxane group. Also, a wax composition comprising a silicone fluid, solvent, and an alkoxylated wax component, the alkoxylated wax component comprising one or poly(alkoxy) groups attached to the wax component at a free alcohol group, a free acid group, or an olefinic group.
