Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for removing the polish from a floor surface coated with a synthetic resin floor polish and cleaning the surface to restore the luster of the floor. Regarding floor cleaning agents.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, a so-called synthetic resin wax, which is a polishing agent containing synthetic resin as an active ingredient, is used as a floor polishing agent for buildings. On floor surfaces coated with synthetic resin wax, scratches and dirt from walking and walking will adhere to the synthetic resin wax film over time, degrading its aesthetic appearance. Therefore, wash the surface from time to time before applying synthetic resin wax. The beauty has been restored. Normally, this kind of cleaning and repair can be repeated several thousand times, but in the end, it becomes impossible to satisfactorily restore the appearance, and a cleaning agent is used to completely remove the synthetic resin wax. It has been removed and new synthetic resin wax has been applied.

The process of completely removing the synthetic resin socks from the floor is done by applying a cleaning agent on the synthetic resin wax film, and then using a polylasher equipped with a floor pad to collect and scrape off the waste water. To remove residual alkaline content, the synthetic resin wax is removed by wiping with water 6 to 4 times using a mop, or by neutralizing with a weak acid called a rinse agent.

When removing synthetic resin wax in this way,
The reason why it is necessary to physically apply poly lashing and further treat the alkaline content on the floor surface is because the cleaning agent has the following drawbacks.

That is, the inorganic alkaline substances, such as caustic soda, have weak penetrating and dissolving power for the synthetic resin wax film.

Contains a large amount of caustic potash, sodium silicate, etc. (3) Addition of a surfactant to ensure that the water contains a large amount of the above inorganic alkaline substances and to improve wetting of the surface of the synthetic resin wax. For example, nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and holoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether, anionic surfactants such as sodium alkylsulfonate, sorta alkylbenzenesulfonic acid, and sodium alkyldiphenyl ether disulfonate.

In addition, a large amount of solubilizer or sodium metaxylene sulfonate is used (4) Ethylene glycol solvents such as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether are used to increase the dissolving power of synthetic resin wax. Because it contains a large amount of inorganic strong alkaline substances, it is very dangerous to the human body, and if these remain, it will affect the gloss and adhesion of the synthetic resin wax that is applied after treatment. Must be thoroughly wiped with water. Furthermore, if neutralization is performed using a rinse agent, for example, boric acid, the gloss, adhesion, etc. will be affected due to the formation of sodium oxalate. And if you remove excess surfactant, it will have a similar effect. Furthermore, using a large amount of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether or the like gives off an unpleasant odor, which is undesirable for work.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Due to the current situation as described above, (1) it has very quick dissolving power for synthetic resin wax, that is, it has excellent peeling performance;
There is a demand for floor cleaners that (2) are safe to use and have little unpleasant odor, and (3) have no effect on floor materials.

[Means for solving problems]

As a result of intensive research, the present inventors have found that a substance obtained by adding 1 to 5 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of phenol satisfies the above-mentioned performance requirements. We have completed the invention of a cleaning agent for synthetic resin wax that causes less roughness on hands and simplifies wiping with water.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained in detail.

+1+ Phenol ethylene oxide adduct The ethylene oxide adduct of phenol has sufficient dissolving power for synthetic resin wax if the amount of ethylene oxide is 1 to 10 moles per mole of phenol, but if the number of moles added exceeds 5, the dissolving power decreases. Since it is smaller, its performance is inferior, but it is sufficient for surface cleaning. The cleaning agent for peeling treatment is preferably between 1 mol and 5 mol from economic considerations such as the amount added.

(2) In order to improve the peeling performance and cleaning performance of glycol-based and alcohol-based solvents, ethylene glycol monobutyl and methyl ether, 6
- Glycolic solvents such as methyl-3-methoxybutanol, mono- or dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, and isopropyl alcohol'It? Noah /L/
Coal solvents can be used in any proportion.

It is also necessary to add an insoluble solvent to increase the solubility of the phenol ethylene oxide adduct (1) in water.

In this case, it is preferable to use monopropylene glycol monomethyl ether and 6-methyl-3-methoxybutamer, which have less unpleasant odor, and any one of these
Either one species or a mixture of two species may be used.

(3) In order to improve the ethanolamine removal performance and cleaning performance, the above (1) and (
2) is sufficient, but an alkaline agent is also necessary to further enhance the dissolving power of synthetic resin socks, especially caustic potash, caustic soda, potassium carbonate, soda carbonate, sodium silicate, and ethanol, which are commonly used as inorganic alkalis. Although amines can be used, addition of inorganic alkalis, especially caustic soda, caustic potash, and sodium silicate, are strongly alkaline and must be treated so that they do not remain after repeated wiping with water. Therefore, the addition of ethanolamine is particularly effective. It is preferable to add monoethanolamine in order to reduce the amount added.

(4 (Other optional ingredients) In addition to the above-mentioned essential ingredients (1) to (3), the floor cleaning agent of the present invention includes optional ingredients such as surfactants, dyes, and fragrances that have been used in conventional cleaning agents. It may contain an antifoaming agent, etc. The surfactant may be a normal nonionic surfactant or anionic surfactant, as long as it is mixable and has good stability.

The essential components of the components in the present invention are +1j to (3), but the composition ratio is 1 to 50 chi of the +1+ component,
1 to 50% of component (2) and 1 to 10% of component (3)
By appropriately adding water to the remainder, an economically effective cleaning agent can be obtained.

〔how to use〕

The floor cleaning agent of the present invention can be used for peeling synthetic resin socks and for surface cleaning to remove stains only on the surface.

For peeling treatment, use the undiluted solution according to the usual method, or use 2~
The wax film can be sufficiently removed by applying a 20 times diluted solution with water evenly to the floor surface using a mop or the like and then removing the waste water, but the effect will be further enhanced by applying a poly lasher. Furthermore, if the sewage is removed, there will be almost no alkali IJ &, and the pH of the floor will be in the neutral range, which will have almost no effect on the synthetic resin wax that will be applied later.

To use it for surface cleaning, you only need to use a solution diluted 50 to 150 times with water, and dirt on the surface can be removed by simply soaking it into mops, etc. and wiping it gently. If necessary, you can reapply wax. I can do it.
