Abstract:
A floor finish stripper or scrub and recoat composition includes a sparingly water-soluble floor finish solvent, water, an acid in an amount sufficient to provide a homogenous aqueous liquid phase during shaking, and sufficient organic amine so that the composition has a pH of about 2 to about 11 and the composition is not corrosive to skin. The acid is at least one of (A) a C 10 aliphatic acid, and (B) a sulfonic acid, sulfate acid, phosphonic acid, phosphate acid, or aromatic acid coupler.
Abstract:
Floor finishes can be stripped using a substantially nonchlorinated concentrate comprising a floor finish dissolver and an at least partially water-unactivated water thickener. The concentrate is diluted with water at an intended use location to activate the water thickener and noticeably increase within sixty minutes or less the viscosity of the resulting mixture, then applied to a hardened floor finish atop a floor and allowed to soften or dissolve the floor finish so that the finish may be removed from the floor.
Abstract:
A jobsite-renewable floor finish comprising a film former and an appropriate amount of a lightness-inducing agent provides a translucent hardened finish layer having an increased lightness value (as evaluated in relation to an appropriate color space) and a cleaner appearance than a finish made without such lightness-inducing agent.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a system and method for treating floors with an antimicrobial composition, where the floor finish applied to a floor is resistant to degradation by the antimicrobial composition and in particular quaternary ammonium compound.

Abstract:
A jobsite-renewable multilayer floor finish system has an undercoat employing a first hardening system, an autohardenable (e.g., two-part) topcoat employing a second hardening system, and at least one initiator for the topcoat hardening system in at least the undercoat. The initiator increases the topcoat hardening rate while reducing the topcoat pot life to a lesser extent than would be the case if the initiator were included only in the topcoat. The increased topcoat hardening rate facilitates earlier application of additional topcoat layers, or earlier return of the floor to service.
Abstract:
A method of cleaning an uncoated surface includes providing a composition having a pH of between about 7 and about 11 and applying the composition to the uncoated surface. The composition includes a fatty acid salt constituting between about 5% and about 40% by weight of the composition, a gloss-enhancing agent constituting between about 0.1% and 20% by weight of the composition, an anti-slip agent constituting between about 0.5% and about 10% by weight of the composition, and water constituting between about 20% and about 94.6% by weight of the composition. The composition can be applied at least three times a week.
Abstract:
An applicator tool (10) for applying a liquid onto a surface of a floor includes an applicator (14) and a handle (12) connected to the applicator. The applicator includes a housing (26) having a bottom surface and a plurality of sidewalls. The bottom surface is connected to the sidewalls to define a reservoir (28). The bottom surface has at least one opening (38) in fluid for substantially continuously dispensing the liquid.
Abstract:
Zirconium carbonates and initiate hardening of polyurethane coatings and decrease the coating tack-free time. The decreased tack-free times facilitate earlier application of additional polyurethane layers and earlier return of a coated article to service, and can provide improved floor finishes.
Abstract:
A method of lubricating a moving surface is herein described wherein the lubricant composition contains a fatty acid, a neutralization agent, a pH buffer, and a carrier. Also described are compositions in both concentrate and dilute form. The compositions may also comprise additional functional ingredients.
Abstract:
A method of lubricating conveyor tracks or belts is herein described wherein the lubricant composition contains a polyalkylene glycol polymer and a fatty acid; also described are methods of manufacture of such lubricant compositions in both concentrate and diluted form. The compositions may also comprise additional functional ingredients.
