Abstract: A method for making a release agent suitable for use in the baking industry, along with examples of the release agent made according to the method. The method comprises heating a food grade oil to between about 100 and about 130 degrees Celsius, then adding water heated to near its boiling point. Agitation is used during the process to convert the mixture to a stable oil-in-water emulsion. A relatively small volume of emulsifying agent may also be added. The preferred embodiment uses a silicone oil, which leaves very little solid residue on the baking pans.

After cleaning and drying the surface where a scratch exists, the composition is rubbed over the scratch and then any excess is removed by rubbing it with a moist cloth and then allowing the surface to dry.

Abstract: A smooth stable viscous gelled surface polish composition comprising a mixture of water, a gelling agent, a chelating agent, an abrasive, and colorant or pigment and other property enhancing additives evenly dispersed into the mixture, and an alkaline electrolyte viscosity increasing agent that raises the pH of the mixture and forms a smooth homogeneous stable gel with a viscosity level having the consistency of a custard or jelly which prevents separation of the abrasives and additives and does not require shaking or mixing prior to use. Additionally other suitable additives such as antioxidants, waxes, and oils may be used in the composition. The smooth homogeneous stable gel is also resistant to drying and the formation of a surface “skin”.

Abstract: Vegetable oils or vegetable oil alkyds are emulsified in aqueous medium by means of a suitable emulsifying agent providing particles of oil or alkyd encapsulated in an oxygen permeable layer of emulsifying agent. The emulsified oil or alkyd particles are reduced to a predetermined size, and the emulsion is subjected to an oxygen-containing gas, preferably at elevated pressures, to effect autoxidation by cross-linking between olefin groups of unsaturated fatty acid moieties of the vegetable oils. Autoxidation is continued until the emulsified particles gel or nearly gel. When applied to a surface and exposed to air, the particles coalesce into a continuous film, and further oxidation and drying of the emulsion occurs.
