Abstract
A coating system for floors, containing a) one or more agents in which, together or separately, a polymer/wax dispersion and aziridine and, where desired, a flatting component are present, for application on the floor in order to form a crosslinked base film that is not capable of being removed by wet chemical means, as well as b) an aziridine-free agent containing conventional floor-maintenance components, in particular a polymer/wax dispersion, for the purpose of generating a sacrificial film on said base film that is capable of being removed by wet chemical means.
Claims4
A method of coating and disinfecting a floor comprising:
- a. applying a base film composition to the floor, the base film composition comprising:
- i. a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyacrylates, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- ii. an aziridine, wherein the polymer and the aziridine form a crosslinked base film;
- b. allowing the base film composition to dry on the floor;
- c. applying a sacrificial film composition to the floor on top of the base film, the sacrificial film composition comprising an aziridine-free polymer selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyacrylates, and mixtures thereof,
- d. allowing the sacrificial film composition to dry on the floor;
- and
- e. applying a disinfecting agent to the floor, wherein the disinfecting agent comprises an antimicrobial component selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, an aldehyde, an antimicrobial acid, a carboxylic ester, an acid amine, a phenol, a phenol derivative, a diphenyl, a diphenyl alicane, a urea derivative, an oxygen acetal, a nitrogen acctal, an oxygen formal, a nitrogen formal, a benzamidine, an isothiazoline, a phthalimide derivative, a pyridine derivative, an antimicrobial surface-active compound, a quaternary ammoniunm compound, an antimicrobial alkylamine, a guanidine, an antimicrobial amphoteric compound, a quinoline, 1,2-dibromo- 2,4-dicyanobutanc, iodo-2-propinylbutyl carbamate, iodine, an iodophor, and a peroxide.
