Abstract: In contrast to hydrocarbon waxes, alpha-olefin waxes can be oxidized with little if any reduction in hardness. The oxidized product can be used as such or further reacted with polyisocyanates to yield isocyanated products. Salts of the isocyanated products (preferably lithium salts) are also prepared which are capable of forming colloidal solutions. These solutions preferably in hydrocarbons have superior film-forming properties when used in polishes, thus yielding when applied to a surface a finish of high gloss, durability, protection, etc. The isocyanated products and salts thereof when employed in carbon paper inks yield a carbon paper having superior properties.

The composition is comprised of montan wax, an emulsifier, silicone oil, amino silicones, finely-divided abrasive, water, volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid, and optionally, pigment. The improvement comprises using a volatile aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid having an evaporation rate approximately three to five times faster than the evaporation of water.

Abstract: An emulsion cleaner-polish for treating of furniture surfaces having excellent gloss and cleaning properties is described. The emulsion contains a film-former such as a silicone, wax, resin, non-drying oil, and mixtures thereof; a low level of a hydrocarbon solvent, water, a surfactant, and, as an essential component, an alpha-olefin having from 10 to about 18 carbon atoms. The alpha-olefin when present in fairly low levels strongly attacks oil-borne stains without substantial detriment to the gloss characteristics of the film. Additionally, the alpha-olefin contributes to the leveling characteristics of the cleaner-polish when applied to a substrate.
