Patent ID: 8287657

Claim:
A surface protectant for hard surfaces and cleaning composition for hard surfaces, which surface protectant and cleaning composition contains 0.01% to 20% polymeric compound formed from the monomeric components consisting of: (I) 20 to 99.9% by weight of at least one cationic monomer according to formula (I) wherein R 1 and R 2 are, independently of one another, hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl; R 3 and R 4 are, independently of one another, hydrogen or alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyl alkyl, carboxyamide alkyl or alkoxyalkyl having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms; and Y âˆ’ represents an anion, and (II) 0.1 to 80% by weight of at least one hydrophobic unsaturated nonionic monomer that polymerizes in the presence of an initiator selected from the group consisting of monomers represented by formula (B) wherein R 5 is H or CH 3 , R 6 is hexl, heptyl, octyl, isooctyl, 2-ethylhexyl, nonyl, decyl, isodecyl, undecyl dodecyl, lauryl, octadecyl or stearyl, C 1 - 12 alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 alkylphenyl that may be substituted one to three times by C 1 -C 12 alkyl or C 1 -C 12 alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 alkylphenyl interrupted one or more times by oxygen wherein the phenyl group may be substituted one to three times by C 1 -C 12 alkyl, C 1 -C 12 alkoxy or C 1 -C 6 alkoxy; and X is â€”Oâ€”, (meth)acrylonitrile and esters of unsaturated polyfunctional acids; 0 to 60% by weight of a water-soluble monomer (III) which is different from monomer (I) or monomer (II) selected from the group consisting of vinyl amine, vinyl alcohol, vinyl derivatives of dimethyl siloxane, vinyl fluorocarbons, aminosiloxanes, hydroxyalkyl acrylates, (meth)acrylic acid and (meth)acrylic acid salts; and 0 to 10% by weight reactant (IV), a crosslinking agent and which composition further comprises an effective amount of one or more surfactants.
