Description

NO WAX POLISH FOR FURNITURE WITH SILICONE COMPONENTS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention is directed to improved wax-free polish compositions for furniture in the form of liquids, aerosols, creams and lotions, in particular it refers to wax-free polishes for silicone-based furniture comprising a silicone fluid of low viscosity and a polydiorganosiloxane of higher viscosity and / or silconic rubber and water. Conventional furniture polish ingredients such as hydrocarbon solvents, surfactants / emulsifiers, fragrance, colors and preservatives may also be included.

ANTECEDENT TECHNIQUE Most furniture has a coating of lacquer or "film" in certain portions of its external surfaces One of the main problems that arises in relation to furniture polish is that the "dipping" of a polished furniture surface occurs when applies a shear force to an area or region on the surface of the conventional polish film layer. "Muddings" may be caused by such factors such as the diffusion of reflected light rays, the exposure of the underlying substrate surface, and so on The ability of a polished furniture surface (ie, the polish film layer for furniture) to return to its original appearance after The amount of time required for the furniture polish film layer to return to its original appearance are two factors that are important when assessing the performance of any furniture polish composition or formulation. time, furniture polish compositions or formulations having superior dipping recovery properties have been desired. However, commercially available silicone-containing furniture polishes, and in particular the films applied to the surface they produce, typically lack this particular quality. , many conventional dimethyl silicones tend In addition, many dimethyl silicones, which are commonly found in furniture polishes, are liquid and tend to get smeared naturally. To reduce "tanning," the forms of A number of commercially available furniture polishes currently incorporate certain additives, such as waxes, oils and / or surfactants, in many of their furniture polish formulations containing dimethyl silicone. However, the adding such additives to a furniture polish formulation often produces unwanted effects. For example, the addition of wax to said polish formulation usually reduces the polish film's ability resulting from exhibiting total dunnage recovery, while the addition of oils and / or surfactants tends to make a more visible smear, which is not generally desired. In this way, conventional furniture polishes using conventional silicone-containing or conventional silicone-containing fluids, as well as certain conventional waxes, surfactants and / or certain oils, tend to provide desirable surface appearance values but, for Finally, they suffer from a variety of inherent disadvantages. Efforts have been made to overcome these known disadvantages of silicone-containing furniture polishes of the prior art. An example of such a composition is found in WO-A-92/00288 and US-A- 5 112 394, which describe a furniture polish concentrate containing dimethyl silicone and a siloxane copolymer containing polydimethyl-copolymethyl oxygen. However, said furniture polish compositions suffer from a phenomenon known as "veining". Silicone oils tend to migrate in lower areas on the wood surface, such as imperfections (scrapes, chips, etc.).

Migration creates hard stains on the polished surface, or veining To prevent this migration, wax is added to anchor the silicone molecules to the surface The wax ratios emulsified Sihcona oil as high as 1 1 have been used to anchor the silicone However , the emulsified wax contains discrete solid particles that reduce the clarity of the film or resulting finish, and the hardness of the wax particles increases the amount of time and effort to regulate the film to a shine. Additionally, wax-containing formulations are more costly to produce since the wax must be heated to ensure that it is properly incorporated into the furniture polish composition Furthermore, it is also expected that the furniture polishes can be easily applied or spread and provide a high gloss or high luster to The treated surface However, polishes containing wax are difficult to apply in a uniform manner and cons Time meters and conventional compositions for furniture containing Sihcona often create a surface with an undesirable oily or oily sensation BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a polish composition without silicone-based wax for furniture that overcomes the advantages of the prior art, in Particular that provides a high long-lasting luster, is resistant to gouges and cures quickly, is resistant to grain and is easy to apply by providing a surface with clean feeling This object according to the present invention can be achieved by providing compositions of furniture polish as defined below with improved embossing resistance and recovery, high gloss, long-lasting gloss, easy application, clean-feeling surface and grain resistance. Characteristic aspects of reclaimed furniture polish are its contents. low specific viscosity fluid and one or both of a specific silicone rubber and a specific polydiorganosiloxane having a higher viscosity, optionally in admixture with suitable surfactants and solvents The subject of the present invention is a wax-free polish, silicone base, for furniture, comprising a) a low viscosity silicone fluid consisting of a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and having a viscosity of 10 to 20 centistokes (cSt), b) a polydiorganosiloxane terminated with hydroxyl, methyl, alkoxy or vinyl groups and having a viscosity of 2,000 to 6,000 centistokes, and / or a silicone rubber and c) the rest being water The preferred polydiorganosiloxane used according to the present invention is polydimethylsiloxanediol. The furniture polish of the present invention preferably comprises as component (b) a silicone gum consisting of a mixture of siloxanes and silicones terminated in dimethyl, methylvinyl and vinyl optionally in admixture with said polydiorganosiloxane According to a preferred embodiment of the furniture polish of the present invention is an oil-in-water furniture polish comprising 005% to 500% of an oil-in-water surfactant, 001 to 1 00% of said silicone gum, 0 3 to 500% of said low viscosity silicone fluid, 02 to 50% of said polydiorganosiloxane, 0 to 25% of a hydrocarbon solvent, and the remainder being water, which also preferably includes a propellant for the spray assortment of the polish According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the furniture polish reclam It is a lotion furniture polish comprising 005 to 50% of a water-in-oil surfactant, 05 to 500% of said silicone fluid of low viscosity 001 to 1 00% of said silicone rubber, 0 to 250% of a hydrocarbon solvent, O 02 to O 1% of an oil-in-water surfactant, and the remainder being water. The specific low viscosity silicone fluids useful in the present invention improve the performance of the furniture polish by making it easier to clean and by providing a drier film. The silicone rubbers useful in the present invention and being in the liquid state they have numerous advantages over silicone materials or waxes in a solid state as used in the prior art. First, a silicone or solid or particle wax would interfere with numerous preferred forms of furniture polish assortment. For example, a Solid silicon particle 30 μm in size would cover an aerosol or valve or conventional trigger nozzle Even a particle as small as 0 3 μm can cause problems when agglomerating, thus covering the nozzle or valve The establishment of sihcona particles or wax in the storage reduces the shelf life. In addition, less energy is required to disperse a silicone gum in liquid or gel used in the present invention compared to a solid material, thus reducing the costs of manufacture Without wanting to be limited to any theory, it is believed that silicone rubber serves to anchor the specific low viscosity silicone or specific polydiorganosiloxane and thus prevents or reduces the phenomenon of veining In addition, the third silicone component of the furniture polish of the present invention is a specific polydiorganosiloxane that is compatible with the other components and results in improved film clarity and better ease of use since there are no discrete wax particles out of solution Unlike prior art furniture polish compositions, furniture polishes in accordance with the present invention do not require a wax to anchor the silicone and thus reduce manufacturing costs since, unlike polishes Containing wax for conventional furniture, minimum heat is required to mix the components. The polish compositions of the present invention can be oil-in-water emulsions or water-in-oil emulsions. Those skilled in the art can readily choose a surfactant (or suitable emulsifier) or combination of surfactants (or emu) lsificants) to produce the desired type of emulsion. In addition, the emulsion polish composition of the present invention can also be provided in aerosol form. The invention can be further described by reference to the following three exemplary embodiments. The first embodiment is a formulation of oil in water which can be a liquid or aerosol composition This formulation comprises an oil-in-water surfactant, a silicone gum, a low viscosity silicone fluid, a polydiorganosiloxane, a hydrocarbon solvent, a hydrocarbon propellant (if desired) and water The second embodiment is a water-in-oil formulation which can also be a liquid or Aerosol This composition comprises a water-in-oil surfactant and a low-viscosity syphone fluid. One of a) a silicone gum can be added to this composition, and b) a polydiorganosiloxane or both of these compounds. A solvent can also be included. of hydrocarbon, a hydrocarbon propellant (if desired) and water The third embodiment is a lotion formulation This composition can be made in an aerosol Water-in-oil surfactants, a silicone fluid of low viscosity are included in this third embodiment a diorganosiloxane, a silicone gum, a hydrocarbon solvent, a propellant (if desired) and water can also be added Oil in water ioactives as needed In each embodiment described above, fragrance, color, preservative, resin or other conventional ingredients known in the furniture polish technique may be added as desired.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Although three embodiments of the invention have been described, it is not limited to these examples, since one skilled in the art can readily develop other suitable formulations. Therefore, the present description should be considered to exemplify the invention, and not as a limitation to the specifically described embodiments. The invention is a furniture polish composition comprising a silicone fluid of low viscosity and one or both of a silicone rubber and a polydiorganosiloxane LOW VISCOSITY SILICONE FLUIDS The low viscosity silicone fluids useful in the present invention have viscosities of about 5 to about 5,000 centistokes, preferably about 10 to 20 centistokes. Suitable silicones can be used either "pure" ("peeled") or "no". peeled "The non-peeled silicones contain lower molecular weight volatile fractions, of lower viscosity in addition to the primary siloxane A peeled silicone contains essentially no volatile fraction of lower viscosity A peeled or unpeeled composition can be used in the present invention The non-peeled silicones useful in the present invention can be substituted with any organ group known in the siliceous art, with the proviso that the silicones are non-toxic. In addition to utility, economic considerations play a part in the formulation. For example, although a phenylmethyl silicone is within the scope of the invention, its cost makes it likely not to be used on a commercial scale. Suitable non-peeled silicone fluids include polydimethylsiloxanes and can be purchased from, for example, Wacker Silicones Corporation Particularly suitable is Silicone Fluid EF 139409 (10 centistokes, unpeeled) and SILICONE FLUID F-1079 (20 centistokes, non-peeled) SILICONE GUMS Silicone rubber normally refers to polysiloxane or linear high molecular weight silicone which can be converted from its highly plastic state into a predominantly elastic state by interlacing. Sihcona rubbers suitable for use in the present invention are polysiloxane and / or silicones which can be finished. , for example, with hydroxyl, dimethyl, methylvinyl or vinyl groups. Suitable gums exist in the form of high viscosity liquids that can not flow readily. Viscosities of around 11 to 16 centistokes are typical. A silicone rubber Particularly suitable is sold by Wacker Silicones Corporation under the trade name EL POLYMER V-1200A US The use of a silicone rubber that is in the liquid state, instead of a material or Sihcona wax in a solid state, has numerous advantages First , a silicone or solid wax or particle would interfere with numerous preferred forms of furniture polish assortment For example, a solid silicone particle of 30m in size would cover a conventional spray and valve or trigger nozzle Even a particle as small as 03m would cause problems when agglomerating, thus covering the nozzle or valve The establishment of silicone particles or wax in storage reduces the life in storage Furthermore, less energy is required to disperse a liquid or gel silicone gum used in the present invention compared to a solid material, thus reducing manufacturing costs Without wanting to be limited to any theory It is believed that silicone rubber is used to anchor low viscosity silicone or polydiorganosiloxane and thus prevents or reduces the phenomenon of veining POLIDIORGANOSILOXAN The third silicone component of the furniture polish of the invention is a polydiorganosiloxane, which can be terminated with groups such as hydroxyl, methyl, alkoxy and vinyl As for the low viscosity silicone fluid, the organo group in the polydiorganosiloxane can be any organ group known in the silicone art, with the proviso that the polydiorganosiloxane is non-toxic. Once again, economic considerations play a role in the selection of appropriate compounds. Viscosities of about 2,000 to about 6,000 centistokes are suitable. Hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane is preferred and may also be purchased from Wacker Si cones Corporation under the tradename ELASTOMER 6N. Unlike prior art furniture polish compositions, the Polishes for furniture in accordance with the present invention do not require a wax to anchor the silicone since all the film-forming materials are compatible with and dissolvable with one another. It is believed that this compatibility results in improved film clarity and better ease of use since no discrete wax particles out of solution Manufacturing costs are reduced because, unlike conventional polishes containing furniture wax, minimal heat is required to mix the components As previously noted, the polish compositions for furniture according to this invention also they may include any or all of the following oil-in-water and water-in-oil surfactants, hydrocarbon solvents, water, and Other optional ingredients, such as preservatives, colors, resins and fragrance SOLVENTS Those skilled in the art know that solvents are typically used in conventional polishing compositions for the purpose of removing soluble solvent residues from substrate surfaces. Therefore, for optimum results, any solvent that is used to prepare the emulsion polish compositions. of this invention would be volatile so as to give rapid drying after applying the composition to a substrate surface, and yet, not so volatile as to prematurely dry before spreading the composition on the substrate surface (for purposes of providing a desired film) Accordingly, certain solvents considered particularly useful, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, have values termed "caup-butanol" of about 20 to about 50, and have boiling point scales of about 60 degrees Celsius (" C ") at about 210 ° C, and preferably around e 95 ° C to about 150 ° C A wide variety of commercially available isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvents such as those commercially available from Exxon Corporation under the trademark "Isopar" as well as the isoparaffin type hydrocarbon solvents commercially available from Phillips Petroleum Corporation under the trademark "Soltrol", are furthermore presently preferred since they are substantially odorless. Suitable hydrocarbon solvents, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, include pentane, hexane, heptane and so-called "Stoddard" solvents. The various hydrocarbon solvents described above can be used individually or in combination.

SURFACTANT AGENTS The polish compositions of the present invention may be oil-in-water emulsions (ie, so-called "waterless") or water-in-oil emulsions (ie, so-called "oil-free"). Those skilled in the art may readily choose a suitable surfactant (or emulsifier) or combination of surfactants (or emulsifiers), to produce the desired type of emulsion As those skilled in the art can well appreciate, the term "emulsion" is generally recognized as a stable mixture of two. or more mutually miscible liquids kept in suspension by small percentages of substances called emulsifiers (or surfactants) In addition, all emulsions are characterized in that they comprise a continuous phase and a non-continuous phase that is dispersed throughout the continuous phase. Still more particularly, in the formulation of the different emulsion polish compositions of the present invention, the different solvents and optional surfactants described below are typically those conventionally used in furniture polish compositions. Accordingly, the surfactants (emulsifiers) useful for the purposes of the present invention include conventional nonionic cationic and ammonic surfactants (or emulsifiers) commonly employed in commercial polishes for applications. to furniture surfaces Such conventional surfactants can be used alone or in combination. Thus, in certain preferred embodiments of the present invention certain conventional nonionic surfactants, as well as certain combinations of Conventional nonionic surfactants are optionally used as they provide certain desirable emulsion stability properties Conventional optional nonionic surfactants for emulsifiers suitable for the purposes of the present invention therefore include but are not limited to so-called emulsion esters. "sorbitan" of oleic and laupco acids, those polyethoxylated sorbitan esters that have up to units ethoxy the monoglycerides and dighpends of the fatty acids that form fat, and combinations thereof Additional examples of conventional nonionic surfactants (or emulsifiers), optionally preferred, include certain "Span" brand emulsifiers and "Tween" brand, both currently available from ICI Amepcas, Inc, and "Monamid" brand emulsifiers, currently available from Mona Industries, Inc. Particular examples of such emulsifiers include sorbitan monoleate, sold by ICI Amepcas, Inc under the trademark "SPAN 80", sorbitan monolaurate, sold by ICI Amepcas Inc, sold under the brand name" SPAN 20", and sorbitan monopalmitate sold by ICI Amepcas, Inc, under the brand name" SPAN 40". Mixtures of the different surfactants can also be used (or emulsifiers) optional mentioned above if desired, in accordance with the principles of the present invention Therefore it is further believed that the The following conventional cationic surfactants or emulsifiers would be suitable for the purposes of the present invention. These include certain quaternary ammonium compounds such as quaternary ammonium halides, quaternary ammonium sulfates, those termed "fatty" amines which are ethoxylated and have from about 2 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, and the chloride salts or acetate salts of said amines as well as those amines which are ethoxylated and have 2 or more moles of ethylene oxide. Several mixtures or combinations of the optional surfactants (or emulsifiers) mentioned above by those skilled in the art, in accordance with the principles of the invention, if desired Conventional optional ammonia surfactants or emulsifiers, suitable for the purposes of the present invention , include certain sulfates (such as sodium lauryl sulfate, and sodium alkyl ether sulfates), those sulfosuccinates containing polyethylene glycol moieties attached thereto, as well as alkyl apl sulfonates. Mixtures of the surfactants may also be used ( or optional optional emulsifiers) in accordance with the principles of the present invention if desired OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS As implied above, the most preferred emulsion polish compositions of this invention are completely free of wax. However, in certain situations it may be desirable to use a relatively smaller amount of wax in specific formulations. In this manner, from about 005 to about 20 percent by weight. Wax weight, preferably from about 005 to about 05 weight percent of wax based on the total weight of the emulsion polish composition can be optionally employed in the compositions of polish for furniture of the present invention Conventional waxes, suitable for the purposes of this invention, therefore include, but are not limited to, certain synthetic waxes such as microcpstaline waxes and petroleum waxes as well as certain natural waxes such as those designated "candelilla" and "carnauba" waxes Still other well-known additives, including but not limited to perfumes and preservatives such as formaldehyde, can optionally be added to the emulsion polish compositions of the present invention. Perfumes are typically added, for example, to import A Desired Fragrance Conventional perfumes, suitable for purposes of the present invention are well known to those skilled in the art and therefore do not need to be described in detail here. The amount of perfume that is included is typically present in an amount that is effective to impart an in desired fragrance tension Said amount of perfume may vary, for example, from about 005 to about 1 weight percent of the emulsion polish composition (exclusive of any propellant, if present). Preservatives, typically formaldehyde, are used usually to retard and otherwise block bacterial activity within the packages containing certain formulations of the emulsion polish compositions of the present invention As those skilled in the art can appreciate, the presence of said preservatives is to prolong the shelf life of the emulsion polish composition. In addition, a variety of conventional quaternary compounds well known for such purpose can be used. Emulsion polish compositions of the present invention can be applied directly to a substrate surface, using for example, a wide variety of conventional well-known pressure systems containing an appropriate amount of a liquid or gaseous propellant. Particularly polish compositions of emulsion can be applied directly to a substrate surface by using well-known spray means such as conventional pump sprinklers. Additionally, emulsion polish compositions can be applied to furniture surfaces by using polishing cloth or other suitable means. Still further, furniture polish compositions can be incorporated into articles of manufacture, such as absorbent fabrics if desired. See, for example, US Patent No. 3,965,518, to Muncio Further, as briefly before the emulsion polish composition was implied. of the present invention can be provided in the form of an aerosol. To produce said aerosol form the emulsion polish composition is typically introduced into a conventional aerosol container when it is then capped with an aerosol valve. Then an effective amount of an suitable conventional propellant is introduced into the aerosol container, in a known manner, to achieve a desired pressure in the container. That propellant pressure must therefore be sufficient to allow substantially complete expulsion of the contents of the aerosol container in the form of a sprinkler in the desired manner, through the aerosol valve Any of a wide variety of suitable conventional propellants that can be used include such well known liquid hydrocarbon propellant gases as isobutane, n-butane and propane, and various mixtures thereof. Additional exemplary propellants include, for example, carbon dioxide and / or nitrogen. In addition, the precise method for making the polish compositions of this invention is not critical. The order and / or manner of addition of the various emulsion polish composition ingredients. , mentioned above, therefore can be varied in general and typically will not affect the quality of a particular emulsion polish composition that is thus formulated or produced. Conventional techniques for forming water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion polishes are typically used to produce the different embodiments of the emulsion polish compositions of The present invention The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the specific examples of each embodiment The examples of this application use the following ingredients Isopar E® and Isopar D® which are isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvents available from Exxon Corp Span 20®, sorbitan monolaurate and Span 80®, sorbitan monooleate, Tween 20®, pohoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, all available from ICI Amepcas, Inc BTC 2125 M, alkyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, dimethylethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, available from Stepan Chemical Corp, or Onyx Chemical Corp Hercules Piccotex LC resin, a monomer hydrocarbon resin available from Hercules, Inc.
