Patent number: 7625966Abstract: A highly resilient clear surface protectant is provided comprising of a copolymer, such as an isobutyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, or acrylic copolymer, in a hexamethyldisiloxane system. The hexamethyldisiloxane combined with a cosolvent package in a composition with a copolymer resin, such as an acrylic copolymer, enhances physical properties of coatings, such as unusual migration and spread and wetting on surfaces. The protectant formulation exhibits greater substantivity to surfaces such as aluminum, steel, brass, stainless steel and copper, and possesses enhanced spreading ability on surfaces to which it is applied resulting in improvement in physical properties in protection of metal surfaces against the deterioration caused by oxidation, degradation and corrosion.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Meguiar's Inc.Inventors: Gary M. Silvers, Ara Nercissiantz
