Abstract
This coating composition is useful as a floor finish. The floor finish includes a polymer having a controlled particle size, a controlled particle size distribution, and higher than normal weight percent solids content. This unique polymer provides a floor finish that has a higher than normal solids content and a lower than expected viscosity. The preferred polymer is a vinyl acrylic copolymer. The preferred floor finish has a solids content of 30-40 weight percent and a viscosity of less than 10 centipoise (cps). These unique properties allows the floor finish to be spread with a conventional string mop. Two to three applications of this floor exhibit equal or better gloss and protection than three to six coats of a normal floor finishes having solids of 15-25 percent by weight.
