  • Patent number: 11866674
    Abstract: A cleaning composition that includes a first cleaning agent and a second cleaning agent. The first cleaning agent is water-soluble at room temperature and the second cleaning agent is water-insoluble at room temperature. Further, the first cleaning agent and the second cleaning agent are in a total amount of about 15 wt. % to about 30 wt. %, wherein the first cleaning agent and the second cleaning agent are alkyl polyalkylene glycol ether Guerbet surfactants having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of at least 10.5 and a formula RO(LO)k(CH2CH2O)mH, wherein R is a branched C8-C12 alkyl group, L is CH2CH2CH2 or CH2CH2CH2CH2, k is from 1-2, m is from 2 to 14, and the LO and CH2CH2O groups are in random or block order. A blend of the first cleaning agent and the second cleaning agent has a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ranging from about 10.5 to about 12.5.

  • Patent number: 11214697
    Abstract: A composition for use as a floor coating, the composition including an at least one polymer having a solids content, based on a total weight of the composition, an at least one resin having a solids content, based on a total weight of the composition, and an at least one plasticizer having a solids content, based a total weight of the composition. Further, the solids content of the at least one plasticizer to the solids content of the at least one polymer is between about 20% and about 25%, the solids content of the at least one polymer and the solids content of the at least one resin are in a ratio of about 25:1 to about 35:1, and the composition has a percent elongation of at least 100% and a tensile strength of at least 1000 psi, when applied to a surface.

  • Patent number: 11046913
    Abstract: A composition for a neutral floor cleaner with optimal cleaning efficacy and leaving limited to no residue and/or streaking on surfaces applied thereto is disclosed. The composition may include water, at least two cleaning agents, at least one builder, at least one stabilizer, and at least one chelator. Further, one of the cleaning agents may be water-soluble and another of the cleaning agents is water-insoluble. The amount of the two cleaning agents may also have a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ranging from about 10.5 to about 12.5.
