Disclosed are antimicrobial sacrificial floor coatings systems including an antimicrobial sacrificial floor coating composition capable of reducing and/or preventing gram positive and gram negative bacterial growth on floors. Also disclosed is an antimicrobial sacrificial floor coating remover being readily capable of removing the antimicrobial sacrificial floor coating as desired from previously treated flooring surfaces. In certain aspects, the antimicrobial sacrificial floor coatings can include a cationic acrylic polymer; a nonionic wax; and a cationic alkyl biguanide or salt thereof. The antimicrobial sacrificial floor coating may further include a cationic wax that further stabilizes the system during storage, application, and/or post-application to a floor surface. The antimicrobial sacrificial floor coating composition has a pH of less than 7 while exhibiting continuous antimicrobial properties from full cure on a floor surface up to 1 year post-application to the floor surface at a minimum contact time of 1 hour.

The present disclosure provides, in part, a solvent composition for use as a replacement for slow evaporating solvents. The solvent composition may include para-Chlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF), a methylated organosilicon compound, and a carbonate ester.

A method and a device for removing a coating on a coated plastic article allow highly efficient removal of a coating from a coated plastic article and recovery of a base after coating removal and a remover. A method for removing a coating on a coated plastic article with a remover includes shredding the article into pieces, immersing the pieces in the remover heated to a second temperature, heating the remover to a first temperature, and stirring the pieces with the heated remover. The remover includes at least one monohydric lower alcohol selected from methanol, ethanol, propanol, and 1-butanol, and swells the base, the coating, or both. The first temperature is not lower than 25 C. and not higher than a temperature 10 C. lower than a boiling point of the remover. The second temperature is not higher than an upper limit of the first temperature.

A composition includes methyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate, acetone, or a combination thereof, dimethyl sulfoxide, methyl glyoxal, propylene carbonate, gamma butyrolactone, ethylene carbonate, 2-chloro-1-propanol, or a combination thereof, and optionally thiophene, 1,3-dioxolane, thioacetic acid, or a combination thereof. The respective amounts of each solvent are further described herein, and the total amounts of methyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, methyl glyoxal, propylene carbonate, thiophene, 1,3-dioxolane, and thioacetic acid sum to at least 90 volume percent of the total volume of the composition. The composition can be particularly useful for removal of a coating from a surface. Accordingly, a method of removing a coating from a surface is also disclosed.

A pH-stable dye which allows the penetration of hydrochloric acid into amorphically different carcinogenic fibers used for detection of sprayed asbestos or plastic mineral fibers for fireproofing components. In the process, the continuous colored penetration of the fiber layers is achieved synchronously with the decomposition process of the hydrochloric add. Thus, the progress of the penetration process can be estimated during the reconstruction work, and the task of removing the now spongy layers can be carried out with contrast agents of the following group consisting of organic and inorganic substances such as acridine orange, brilliant cresyl blue, bromophenol blue, eosin Y, erythrosine B, fluorescein, methyl blue, methyl orange, thymol blue, resulting in the even penetration of carcinogenic fibers using hydrochloric acid.
