Abstract: A cleaning composition is particularly suited for cleaning dirty intake valves. The cleaning composition includes a high solvency surfactant/solvent which has a Kb greater than 100 or polar Hansen solubility parameter greater than 6. The surfactant/solvent is combined with an organic carrier and a surfactant. A wetting agent may also be employed. The cleaning composition is added to the intake air as a mist as the engine is running.

Abstract: A protective dressing composition which imparts a lustrous and glossy appearance to a flexible or elastic rubber or plastic surface includes water, silicone fluid, a polymeric acrylic emulsifier to hold the silicone fluid in dispersion in the water and a UV stabilizer. Further, the composition is substantially free of nonpolymeric surfactants. The coating does not exhibit stickiness, attract dust or other contaminants, and resist cracking and peeling. The composition provides of a shiny protective coating suitable for application to metal, plastic, wood, and painted surfaces, and is especially well suited for use on flexible substrates such as automotive tires, bumpers, rubber, trim, vinyl, and the like. The coating maintains the flexibility of the coating at low temperatures and reduces and/or eliminates the tacky property on the surface. The acrylic polymer emulsifier does not re-emulsify with rain (water) providing a durable protective coating.

Abstract: A release agent for concrete includes water, a vegetable oil or animal derived oil ester and a polymeric thickener. The composition can either be a direct release agent wherein the composition is a water-in-oil emulsion or an indirect release agent which is an oil-in-water emulsion. The indirect agent may further include vegetable oil wetting agents and biocides. The release agent does not include typical surfactants such as anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, or amphoteric surfactants.

Abstract: An aqueous gel wax formulation includes a cationic wax microemulsion and an anionically charged polishing agent having a particle size less than about 200 nanometers and optimally a quaternary ammonium substituted silicone and an amino functional silicone. The components combine to form a gel wax formulation which can be applied without buffing.

Abstract: A water in oil emulsion wax composition composed of natural and synthetic waxes, surfactants, suspending agents, and aluminum oxide particles of high purity of 0.20 micrometer or less containing no magnesium oxide and being agglomerate free together with a aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent producing a wax having cleaning properties and an enhanced high gloss surface from a single application.

Abstract: A solvent based paste wax polish composition for metallic, plastic, and painted surfaces containing a blend of synthetic and natural waxes, a blend of silicone fluids, blend of solvents, zinc oxide nanoparticles UV agent having a particle size of 100 nanometers or less, alumina nanoparticles polishing agent having a particle size of 200 nanometers or less, and hydrophobically modified silica nanoparticles of 50 nanometers or less producing a polish having cleaning properties and an enhanced high glossed finish from a single application while exhibiting reduced white dry polish residue during the waxing process.

Abstract: A water based spray wax composition containing a microemulsion of a cationic wax nanoparticles, a quaternary silicone compound and zinc oxide nanoparticles providing long lasting protection of paint, glass, and metal, plastic, rubber, or elastomeric trim surfaces. The use of microemulsions or nanometer sized particles in the primary ingredients provides a transparent spray wax composition, which provides excellent coverage due to a significantly larger surface area, due to the nanoparticles used in the formulation. It also enables the wax particles to penetrate and fill small cracks and crevices for improved appearance, and durability of the spray wax properties.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid protectant composition composed of a cationic microemulsion of a natural wax (carnauba wax) nanometer sized particles and zinc oxide nanometer sized particles in combination with a quaternary siloxane compound. The protectant composition of the present invention cleans, protects preserves and enhances the appearances of leather or vinyl surfaces used for covering items in the home or in vehicles. The product is easy to apply to both smooth and textured surfaces and has a transparent appearance. The product dries quickly and does not leave an oily residue. Utilization of nano technology to select components having nano sized particles provides a uniform deposition of the product leaving a thin film having exceptional protection properties. Unlike conventional protectants, the invention of the instant composition dries quickly and leaves no oily residue behind.
