Title: Improvements in the production of impregnating, dressing, polishing and like agents
IPC: D06M15/333
Filed: 1932-06-30
Abstract: Compositions, suitable for cleaning, dressing, polishing, impregnating, and like purposes, comprise waxy polymerized ethers of vinyl alcohol and aliphatic alcohols containing at least 10 carbon atoms, and organic solvents therefor.  Suitable aliphatic alcohols are decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, cetyl, docosanyl, octodecyl, and octodecenyl alcohols.  Waxes, oils, natural or synthetic resins, glues, abrasives, colouring materials and emulsifying-agents may be added.  Specified waxes are paraffin, carnauba, bees, Japan, candelilla, ceresine, ozokerite, and montan and modified products thereof e.g. those described in Specifications 296,145 and 305,552, [both in Class 91, Oils, &c.]. Solvents and oils specified are oil of turpentine, benzene, toluene, and other aromatic hydrocarbons, benzine and other mineral oil fractions, butyl acetate, cyclohexanol acetate, cyclohexanone, methyl-cyclohexanone, halogenated hydrocarbons e.g. methylene chloride and ethylene chloride, and vegetable oils e.g. olive, sesame, linseed, and chinawood oils. Colophony, colophony glycerine ester resins, and artificial resins prepared according to Specification 276,518, [Class 2 (iii), Dyes &c.], are specified resins.  Emulsifying-agents include wax soaps, sodium salts of alkyl naphthalene sulphonic acids, triethanolamine soaps, esters of vegetable fatty acids with alkylolamines, or polyethylene glycol ethers of higher aliphatic alcohols e.g. ethers of pentaethylene glycol with octodecyl or octodecenyl alcohols. According to examples:--(1) a liquid polish for linoleum, leather or wood is prepared by dissolving 40 parts of polymerised vinyl octodecyl ether in 60 parts of a benzine fraction boiling between 150 DEG  and 190 DEG C, and adding 0.4 part of Sudan Orange R.  (2) An impregnating liquid for waterproofing wood consists of 30 parts of polymerised vinyl cetyl ether and 2 parts of mineral oil fraction of S.G. 0.899 dissolved in 68 parts of toluene.  (3) A liquid composition for sizing or water-proofing fabrics consists of 10 parts of polymerised vinyl octodecyl ether and 10 parts of paraffin wax dissolved in 80 parts of benzine.  (4) An emulsion useful as a polish for leather, cellulose derivative lacquer coatings &c., is prepared by adding 2.05 parts of olein to 20 parts of a 50 per cent. solution of polymerised vinyl octodecyl ether or polymerised vinyl cetyl ether in toluene, and then adding 6.9 parts of a 10 per cent aqueous solution of triethanolamine and 20 parts of water.  (5) A floor polishing paste is obtained by mixing 2 parts of the waxy product obtained according to Example 2 of Specification 296,145, 2 parts of the waxy product obtained according to Example 4 of the said Specification, and 3 parts of the waxy product obtained according to Example 1 of Specification 324,631, [Class 91, Oils &c.], without the addition of paraffin, fusing the mixture with 1.5 parts of colophony, 3 parts of paraffin wax and 6 parts of polymerised vinyl octodecyl ether, and adding to the melt 15 parts of oil of turpentine and a boiling solution of 1.5 parts of potassium carbonate in 55 parts of water.  Specifications 369,944, 369,945, 372,327, 378,544; and 379,674, [Group IV] also are referred to.ALSO:Compositions, suitable for dressing and like purposes, comprise waxy polymerised ethers of vinyl alcohol and aliphatic alcohols containing at least 10 carbon atoms, and organic solvents therefor.
