US Classification:

106 10, 106 2, 106 3, 106 1829, 106271, 106272, 252 857, 252380, 510244, 510275, 516 77

Abstract:

The present invention provides a liquid protectant composition composed of a cationic microemulsion of a natural wax (carnauba wax) nanometer sized particles and zinc oxide nanometer sized particles in combination with a quaternary siloxane compound. The protectant composition of the present invention cleans, protects preserves and enhances the appearances of leather or vinyl surfaces used for covering items in the home or in vehicles. The product is easy to apply to both smooth and textured surfaces and has a transparent appearance. The product dries quickly and does not leave an oily residue. Utilization of nano technology to select components having nano sized particles provides a uniform deposition of the product leaving a thin film having exceptional protection properties. Unlike conventional protectants, the invention of the instant composition dries quickly and leaves no oily residue behind.

Abstract:

A water based spray wax composition containing a microemulsion of a cationic wax nanoparticles, a quaternary silicone compound and zinc oxide nanoparticles providing long lasting protection of paint, glass, and metal, plastic, rubber, or elastomeric trim surfaces. The use of microemulsions or nanometer sized particles in the primary ingredients provides a transparent spray wax composition, which provides excellent coverage due to a significantly larger surface area, due to the nanoparticles used in the formulation. It also enables the wax particles to penetrate and fill small cracks and crevices for improved appearance, and durability of the spray wax properties. Because of their small size, nanometer sized particles do not reflect light which passes though the coating without any, or a minimal, amount of reflection resulting in a visual appearance of the liquid being transparent and eliminating hazing, streaking, and swirl marks associated with conventional spray wax products utilizing ingredients composed of conventional sized particles.
