Polishes and waxes

These compounds find use as cooling and dielectric fluids, in polishes and waxes as release and antifoam agents, and for paper and textile treatment. 

Uses. Solvent for naphthalene, fats, resins, oils alternate for turpentine in lacquers, shoe polishes, and waxes component in motor fuels and lubricants... 

Liquid polishes and waxes containing 10 wt % or more petroleum distillates must be contained in childproof packaging (61). General experience indicates that natural waxes and polyethylene waxes are nontoxic (62). Although nonsolvent floor polishes are relatively nontoxic, concern for floor waxes continues to be slip-resistance (63,64). 

Although odor (essence I is an important part of flavor sensitivity, there arc numerous inedible consumer products where olfactory sensitivity is the principal concern. In addition to perfumes, soaps, hair sprays, and other cosmetics, odor is important to the acceptability of laundry and cleaning products, polishes and waxes, and decorative materials. Deodorizing agents also fall within this general sphere of interest. 

Naphthas are also employed as solvents in the manufacture of printing inks, leather coatings, diluents for dyes, and degreasing of wool fibers, polishes, and waxes, as well as rust- and waterproofing compositions, mildew-proofing compositions, insecticides, and wood preservatives. 

The other major uses of acrylic latexes are in textile finishing (e.g., stain and wrinkle resistance), adhesives, and floor polishes and waxes. Adhesives are used in many applications, including pressure-sensitive tapes, contact adhesives, and construction adhesives for carpeting and floor tiles. Peelable labels and stamps probably got their start with the Post-it note, invented by Spencer Silver and Art Fry at 3M company many years ago. 

Petroleum distillates are used as general extractants and universal solvents for paints, varnishes, fats, furniture polishes, and waxes. They are also used as vehicles for medication and pesticide applications, as counter-irritants, and as degreasers, detergents, and fuel. Most can be purchased over the counter , particularly mineral spirits, which is a widely used solvent or diluent for nonlatex paints. 

Use Solvent for protective coatings, polishes, and waxes synthesis of camphene, camphor, geraniol, terpin hydrate, terpineol, synthetic pine oil, terpene esters and ethers, lubricating oil additives, flavoring odorant. 

Many of the unique properties of silicone oils are associated with the surface effects of dimethylsiloxanes, eg, imparting water repellency to fabrics, antifoaming agents, release liners for adhesive labels, and a variety of polishes and waxes (343). Dimethylsilicone oils can spread onto many solid and liquid surfaces to form films of molecular dimensions (344,345). This phenomenon is gready affected by even small changes in the chemical structure of siloxane in the siloxane polymer. Increasing the size of the alkyl substituent from methyl to ethyl dramatically reduces the film-forming ability of the polymer (346). The phenyl-substituted silicones are spread onto water or solid surfaces more slowly than PDMS (347).

Thermal-breakdown products include oxides of nitrogen. Found in some consumer polish and wax products. 

Applies wood putty or lacquer stick in nicks and depressions. Sands, mixes finish ingredients and brushes or sprays on coats of stain, shellac, lacquer, varnish, etc. Polishes and waxes finished surface... 

Candelilla wax and carnauba wax are mainly used for the production of candles. Carnauba wax can produce a glossy finish and as such is used in automobile waxes, shoe polishes and waxing skin. Carnauba wax is also used for the preparation of polishing waxes, carbon paper and many other purposes. Palm wax is the raw material for the production of wax candles and matches. Myrica wax and related waxes have found application in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Shellac is used to make paints, varnishes, sealing waxes, adhesives and in insulating materials. 

Uses Surfactant for sulfation feedstock, polishes and waxes, dry cleaning, solv, cleaners/degreasers, agric. prods. 

Uses Emulsifier for agric., polishes and waxes, window cleaners, solv. cleaners/ degreasers, cutting oils filter cake dewatering agent... 

Fluorinated surfactants are used in floor finishes (see Polishes and Waxes). 

Fluorinated surfactants (e.g. ammonium perfluoroocatanaote and sodium perfluo-rooctanoate) are used to emulsify chlorocarbons and fluorocarbons in emulsion polymerization [111-114] (see Polymerization). Fluorinated surfactants are used as emulsifiers in medicine (see Fluorochemical Oxygen Carriers in Section 10.4) and in cosmetics. Fluorinated surfactants improve leveling of acrylic emulsions, floor polishes, and shoe brighteners (see Polishes and Waxes). 

TEKTAMER 38 is a preservative which effectively inhibits the growth of microorganisms in aqueous systems, including paints, emulsions, adhesives, joint cements, pigment dispersions, metal-working fluids, inks, polishes, and waxes. The chemical name of TEKTAMER 38 is a l,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyano-butane. ...
