Abstract
Abstract A novel leveling agent for self polishing dry-bright floor polishes having the following general structure is described: <IMAGE> where R is either a non-linear aliphatic hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons containing 8 to 15 carbon atoms or an alkylbenzene moiety containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain A is either Oxygen or Sulfur atom R1 is either Hydrogen atom or CH3 R2 is either Hydrogen atom or CH3 a and b are small numbers or average numbers totaling no more than about 7 so that the solubility of the compounds is less than about 0.4% in water at room or application temperature, but when R is alkylbenzene moiety, A is oxygen atom only and R1 and R2 are hydrogen atoms only.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A high gloss non-streaking floor polish in emulsion form comprising a polymer selected from a group consisting of homopolymers and copolymers of styrene, acrylic homopolymers and lesser proportions of at least a second polymer and 2.5 to 15% by weight of the total dry polymers a leveling agent having the following formula: ##STR3## where R = a non-linear aliphatic hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons containing 8 to 15 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain or an alkylbenzene moiety containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, A = o, s r 1 = h, ch 3 r 2 = h, ch 3 a + b = 7 or less so that the solubility of the compounds is less than about 0.4% in water at room or application temperature but when R is an alkylbenzene moiety, A is oxygen atom only and R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
A high gloss non-streaking floor polish in emulsion form comprising a polymer selected from a group consisting of homopolymers and copolymers of styrene, acrylic homopolymers and lesser proportions of at least a second polymer and 2.5 to 15% by weight of the total dry polymers a leveling agent having the following formula: ##STR3## where R = a non-linear aliphatic hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons containing 8 to 15 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain or an alkylbenzene moiety containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, A = o, s r 1 = h, ch 3 r 2 = h, ch 3 a + b = 7 or less so that the solubility of the compounds is less than about 0.4% in water at room or application temperature but when R is an alkylbenzene moiety, A is oxygen atom only and R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The floor polish emulsion of claim 1 wherein the leveling agent is an adduct of 2 moles of propylene oxide and one mole of adduct of isodecyl alcohol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
