The present invention provides an aqueous floor coating composition comprising: (A) water; (B) at least one supramolecular polymer; and (C) optionally, one or more additional ingredients. The supramolecular polymer (B) comprises polymerized units derived from: (1) one or more 4H monomers which comprise a polymerizable group and a quadruple hydrogen bonding (4H) moiety; (2) at least one monomer having acid functional groups; and (3) one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers. In a preferred embodiment, the supramolecular polymer comprises 4H monomers derived from reaction of an isopropenyl alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate (TMI) and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine (MIC), as well as acid functional monomers selected from (meth)acrylic acid, and ethylenically unsaturated monomers comprising butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and styrene.

The present invention relates to an alkaline aqueous composition on the basis of water glass and organosilanes with non-hydrolysable substituents which have a primary amino group in the substituents, for providing corrosion-protected coatings on metal surfaces which convey good reshaping properties in metal processing. For the desired functionality, the compositions according to the invention contain the organosilane and the water glass in a predetermined ration. The invention further relates to a method for pre-treating metal surfaces using the alkaline aqueous compositions, which method provides excellent results with regard to corrosion protection, varnish adhesion and reshapability, particularly on aluminum and on steel strips provided with aluminum alloy metal coatings.

A vehicle surface treatment composition includes a colloidal inorganic oxide dispersion or a soluble silicate amenable to application to both porous and semi-porous vehicle hard surfaces to provide a multi-surface protective barrier that imparts water repellency and weathering protection properties to the vehicle finish. The composition provides a hard surface cleaning and forms a coating to the applied surface. The compositions provide treated surface properties that include keeping clean, scratch/mar defense, bug repellency, UV protection, and weathering defense. The compositions create treated surfaces that are highly smooth and lubricious which provide enhanced protection, while achieving a high luster finish with a streak free appearance. The composition is readily applied through resort to a conventional trigger spray application, propellant aerosol, or a sponge or cloth for wipe application onto the vehicle surface.
