Types of product & chemistry in floor polish application
A floor polish is a temporary coating applied over a floor to protect it against the moisture, the abuse of traffic and to enhance its appearance and longevity. The quality of a floor polish will be defined by a combination of different parameters, such as durability, gloss, recoatability, solvent & detergent resistance, traffic and scuff resistance.
Floor polish formulations, concentrated or “ready to use” (after dilution), generally contain film-forming polymers (acrylic or styrene-acrylic based), waxes, plasticizers, wetting agents, levelling agents and other minor ingredients.
