Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor polish composition, and more particularly to a floor polish composition having good spreadability and having no adverse effect on the environment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Phosphorus-containing compounds such as tributoxyethyl phosphate and phthalates such as dibutyl phthalate have been compounded as plasticizers in conventional aqueous floor polishes. However, considering the recent environmental problems, even though it is a polish for floors, it is usual to drain the drainage into the sewage after peeling, and there is concern about eutrophication of rivers and lakes such as phosphorus-containing compounds. It is not preferable to include substances or phthalates that are suspected of being toxic to living organisms. However, it is the current situation that the above plasticizer has to be used because of the balance of compatibility with the polishing component, affinity with water, leveling property, and the like.

Therefore, a method has been proposed in which a polyalkoxylate of a linear aliphatic alcohol is used as an alternative leveling agent for tributoxyethyl phosphate (JP-A-59-206476). However,
With this floor polish, when oily stains adhere to the floor surface, the spreadability is poor due to the lack of detergency, and the compatibility with polish components is insufficient, so bleeding occurs on the surface after coating and drying. There was a problem.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a floor polish composition which has no adverse effects on the environment or organisms and has good spreadability and leveling properties.

[0005]

In such a situation, the present inventors have added various additives to a water-insoluble polymer as a polishing component, and have their spreadability, compatibility, luster,
As a result of studying durability, etc., it was found that a poly-ethoxylated aliphatic secondary alcohol as an additive can provide a floor polish having good spreadability and leveling properties and no adverse effects on the environment. The present invention has been completed.

Thus, the present invention provides a floor polish composition containing a water-insoluble polymer and a polyethoxylated aliphatic secondary alcohol.

When the polyethoxylated aliphatic secondary alcohol used in the present invention is incorporated into a floor polish, the spreadability is particularly improved, but the leveling property is also improved. Also, this polyethoxylated aliphatic secondary alcohol has no particular problem in safety. Examples of such polyethoxylated aliphatic secondary alcohols include those represented by the following formulas (1) and (2)

[Wherein a is a number of 0 or more, b is a number of 1 or more, and the sum thereof is in the range of 6 to 30 on average, and c is the number of 3 to 8 on average. A compound in which the repeating units represented by the formula] are linearly and randomly bonded and both terminals are methyl groups is preferable. Among them, a + b is preferably 11 to 13 on average, and c is particularly preferably 3 on average. Preferred examples of polyethoxylated aliphatic secondary alcohols include softanol (manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Kagaku Co., Ltd.) and the like.

The blending amount of these polyethoxylated aliphatic secondary alcohols is 0.01 to 0.01% in the floor polish composition.
3% by weight (hereinafter referred to simply as%), particularly 0.1 to 1.5
% Is preferred.

Further, the water-insoluble polymer is a main component which gives gloss by forming a film on the floor, and its example is not particularly limited as long as it is a film-forming polymer. For example, polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomer. , Preferably an emulsion polymer of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer. Here, as the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, C ₁ to
C ₈ alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, mono- or di- [C ₁ -C ₅ ) alkyl itaconate or fumarate, maleic anhydride, styrene, vinyltoluene,
Acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid,
Itaconic acid, fumaric acid, citraconic acid, crotonic acid, beta-acryloxypropionic acid, hydroxy (C _1-
It is desirable to be selected from at least one of C ₆ ) alkyl acrylate or methacrylate and divinylbenzene. Among these, C _{1 to} C ₈ alkyl acrylates or methacrylates, styrene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, divinylbenzene and the like are particularly preferable.

These water-insoluble polymers are preferably blended in the form of latex, and the blending amount thereof is preferably 3 to 50%, particularly 5 to 20% as a solid.

Various silicone compounds can be added to the composition of the present invention for the purpose of further improving the spreadability. Examples of various silicone compounds include silicone oils, silicone resin emulsions, amino-modified silicones, polyether-modified silicones, silicone rubber emulsions, ethylenically unsaturated monomer-modified silicones, ethylenically unsaturated monomer polymer-modified silicones, and the like. Such components are contained in the composition in an amount of 0.01 to 1
It is preferable to add 0%.

Further, the composition of the present invention contains, as a plasticizer, one or more compounds selected from carboxylic acid esters such as oleic acid esters, adipic acid esters, azelaic acid esters and sebacic acid esters. be able to. The blending amount thereof is preferably 0.01 to 30%, more preferably 5 to 15% with respect to the water-insoluble polymer solid content.

Further, by adding 0.1 to 10% of a natural or synthetic wax emulsion to the composition of the present invention, the polishing effect is further enhanced.

Further, the composition of the present invention contains a surfactant, ethyl carbitol, acetylethyl carbitol, butyl carbitol, acetyl butyl carbitol, texanol, dimethyl carbyl for the purpose of improving performance such as usability and stability. Solvents such as Tol, methyl ethyl carbitol, diethyl carbitol, and ethanol; antifoaming agents such as antibacterial agents, fragrances, soaps, silicones; and alkali agents such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine and the like can be added.

The composition of the present invention can be produced by mixing the above-mentioned components in a conventional manner, and the method for using the composition is to apply it directly to the floor by a squeeze bottle, a trigger spray, or a rag, It is preferable to coat the floor by spraying on a mop or the like.
