Abstract
Abstract A silicone containing automotive vinyl, rubber and leather protectant in the form of a solvent solution, a water dilutable emulsion, or as a "neat" fluid. The silicone is an alkylaryl silicone copolymer having long chain hydrocarbon units and aromatic units. The protectant formulation exhibits greater substantivity to organic surfaces such as vinyl, rubber and leather, and possesses enhanced penetration of organic surfaces to which it is applied resulting in an improvement in protection of such surfaces against the deterioration caused by ultraviolet radiation. Treated surfaces are also rendered paintable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of providing a protective finish to a vinyl, rubber or leather substrate comprising applying to the substrate a protectant composition which includes an alkylaryl polysiloxane copolymer having the formula ##STR3## in which x and y are integers each of which is equal to at least one, the sum of x and y is from twenty to about one hundred, z has a value of zero to four, n is an integer having a value of five to about thirty, Ph is phenyl, and R is an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
97 words
A method of providing a protective finish to a vinyl, rubber or leather substrate comprising applying to the substrate a protectant composition which includes an alkylaryl polysiloxane copolymer having the formula ##STR3## in which x and y are integers each of which is equal to at least one, the sum of x and y is from twenty to about one hundred, z has a value of zero to four, n is an integer having a value of five to about thirty, Ph is phenyl, and R is an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method according to claim 1 in which the sum of x and y is 30-70.
