A chemically-strippable, alcohol-resistant floor coating contains a crosslinked polymer, an alkali soluble resin, and an amine functional compound. The coating exhibits a Strippability Level of at least 40% after 300 cycles in a solvent on an abrasion machine, and an Ethanol Resistance of at least 60 percent, as measured by a 60&#xb0; Gloss Retention Test. A floor coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of a crosslinkable polymer, an alkali soluble resin, an amine functional compound, and a crosslinker can be applied to a floor to make the coating.

Alcohol-resistant, chemically-strippable floor coating and composition for making same

A peelable surface coating system comprises a multilayer peelable surface coating adhered to multi-section substrate with joints between sections. The multilayer peelable surface coating has strength and flexibility layers and a wear layer. Each strength and flexibility layer has a thickness of &#x3c;0.6 mil and a Konig hardness of &#x3c;40 seconds. The wear layer has a Konig value of &#x3e;60 seconds and a thickness of from 0.2 to 3 mils. The strength and flexibility layers have a combined total thickness of 3.3 to 6 mils. The peelable coating system spans joints between sections and is peelable from both the substrate and the joints, and has an elongation (E %) of &#x3e;350%, a break force maximum load (BF gm-Force) of &#x3e;3000 gm-Force, a total thickness (T mils) of from 3.5 to 10 mils, and wherein: (E %)&#xd7;(BF gm-Force)&#xd7;(T mils)&#x3e;4&#xd7;10.
