Abstract: The present technology relates to antimicrobial cleaning compositions comprising a polyurethane having at least one acid group salted with a biguanide (e.g., bis-biguanide) free base compound. More specifically, the present technology relates to an antimicrobial cleaning composition comprising a) a polyurethane with at least one free acid group salted with a biguanide free base; b) at least one surfactant; and c) a diluent. Surfaces treated with the antimicrobial compositions of the disclosed technology are provided with residual inhibition against the proliferation of microbe growth.

Abstract: A coating system for a surface (such as a floor) including a liquid adhesive layer composition including a heat-activated adhesive that forms an adhesive layer upon drying after application to a surface, and a liquid maintenance layer composition comprising a dispersible polymer that forms a maintenance layer upon drying after application to the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer and the maintenance layer may form a peelable coating. An adhesive strength between the adhesive layer and the maintenance layer may be greater than an adhesive strength between the adhesive layer and the surface. The peelable coating may have a tensile strength that is greater than the adhesive strength between the adhesive layer and the surface. The peelable coating may be configured to be peeled from the surface without the adhesive layer and the maintenance layer separating from one another.

Abstract: The present invention provides coating systems for surfaces and methods for coating and repairing surfaces.

Abstract: Coating systems for a surface (such as a floor) including a peelabie layer composition including a peelabie layer film former, and a maintenance layer composition including a maintenance layer film former having a first Tg from about ?100° C. to about 20° C. Methods of coating a surface are also provided. One method may include applying a peelabie layer composition including a peelabie layer film former to form a peelabie layer having a tensile strength that is greater than an adhesive strength, and applying a maintenance layer composition including a maintenance layer film former including a self- crosslinking polyurethane, a polyurethane copolymer, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A coating system for a surface (such as a floor) including an adhesive layer composition including a dispersible adhesive that forms an adhesive layer upon application to a surface, and a maintenance layer composition comprising a dispersible polymer that forms a maintenance layer upon application to the adhesive layer. The dispersible adhesive may include at least one of a styrene-butadiene latex, an acrylic latex material, a polyurethane latex, a polyvinyl acetate emulsion, and a combination thereof. The maintenance layer may include at least one of a UV-cured polymer, a nylon, an epoxy, a polyacrylate, a polystyrene acrylate, a polyurethane, a polyurea, and a combination thereof. The adhesive layer and the maintenance layer may form a finished coating having a peel strength greater than about 50 gf/25 mm.
