Abstract: A water-based buffing composition which forms a high-gloss, slip-resistant coating on a surface when dried and high-speed buffed. The composition is a solution, the solute portion of which consists of a solid, waxy polyethylene glycol compound having a high molecular weight, and a heat-stable, non-volatile plasticizer compatible with the polyethylene glycol which is water soluble or water dispersible and selected from the group consisting of phthalates, adipates, sebacates, phosphates, sulfonamides, and mixtures thereof, and the solvent portion of which comprises water. The plasticizer may be a highly water-soluble compound such as triethyl phosphate, a water insoluble compound such as tri(butoxyethyl) phosphate which forms a stable dispersion with water, or a fatty acid such as oleic acid saponified with a volatile base to create a stable dispersion in water.

Abstract: A composition for simultaneously disinfecting a surface and depositing a film thereon that can be high-speed buffed to produce a high-gloss, slip-resistant surface. The composition is a solution wherein the solvent portion is water and the solute portions consist of a solid, waxy polyethylene glycol compound and a germicidally-effective quaternary ammonium chloride compound.
