Abstract
A buffing and burnishing composition for cleaning, polishing and for reconditioning plastic and plastic coated floor surfaces, and other floor surfaces to which floor finishes including 'self-polishing' preparations have been applied. The composition includes a water soluble, low volatility, linear polymer of ethylene and propylene oxide as a combination low-volatility, lubricant and plasticizer, a glycol ether as a cooperating solvent, cleaner and coupling and stabilizing agent, and a surfactant as a wetting agent and cleaner, and water. The composition is characterized by the absence of wax and ingredients which give rise to wax-like residues, by the capability of effectively solubilizing and removing any clouding wax and wax-like deposits present, by a reduced evaporation rate, and an enhanced stability in the presence of heat generated during floor surface buffing and polishing procedures. The 'active agents' contained in the formulation serve under the conditions of frictional heat generated during mechanical burnishing operations to neutralize or to repair minor use-derived surface blemishes through what is in effect a replasticization of the floor finish as a non-drying microfilm intimately coats and combines with the treated surface.
