Abstract: A solution to protect surfaces including nano particles of wax, solvent and a liquid repellent agent.

Abstract: A lubricating based cleaning composition for cleaning and protecting surfaces comprising silicone, wetting agent, and non-organic solvent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous based, gelled silicone compositions, more particularly waxes and protectants, which are substantially free of volatile organic solvents. The silicone gel wax is useful for protecting a variety of painted surfaces, particularly painted metal surfaces such as car exteriors. The silicone gel protectant is useful for protecting and enhancing the appearance of vinyl, leather, rubber and plastic surfaces such as found in car interiors, car trim and car bumpers.

Abstract: A novel car wash composition substantially eliminates water-spotting. This novel car wash composition is comprised of: a surfactant package which is comprised of a first surfactant selected from the group consisting essentially of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant and mixtures thereof; and a second surfactant selected from the group consisting essentially of fluorosurfactant, a silicone surfactant, and mixtures thereof; and a substantive polymer that renders the surface to be cleaned more hydrophilic.

Abstract: An auto finish-treating composition universally useful on paint, metal, vinyl and other plastic finishes comprises micronized wax dispersed in a water/organic solvent emulsion also containing silicone liquid emulsified in both the organic and aqueous phases.

Abstract: A finishing composition for restoring the appearance of the aged, painted surface of an automobile comprises an isobutyl methacrylate resin polymer dissolved in a solvent system comprising a low boiling organic solvent and a high boiling organic solvent.

Abstract: This invention relates to a composition and method for cleaning and waterproofing a substrate and inhibiting the build-up of static electricity on said substrate. The inventive composition comprises: water; a detergent amount of at least one nonionic surfactant; an anti-static amount of at least one amphoteric surfactant; and a waterproofing amount of at least one organofunctional silane. The inventive method involves the steps of: (A) applying a first sample of the inventive composition to the substrate being treated and cleaning the substrate with the first sample; (B) removing the first sample from the substrate; (C) coating the substrate with a second sample of the inventive composition; and (D) drying the second sample on the substrate.

Abstract: A method of reclaiming leftover ready-mix concrete comprising the steps of:(1) retarding the hydration of the unused portion of concrete returned from a job site; and(2) after the desired retarded period adding a hydration acceleration agent to restore the concrete to a settable state.
