Abstract

Described herein are compositions and methods for use in automotive care. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to water-based compositions comprising a silicone emulsion that are particularly beneficial as a gloss booster, enhancer, and/or sealant.

Claims (23)

1 . A composition consisting of:

a non-ionic amino functional silicone emulsion; and

a preservative; and

water.

2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic amino functional silicone in the emulsion is an aminoalkyl-functional organopolysiloxane fluid.

3 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic amino functional silicone emulsion is present in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 15% by weight of the composition.

4 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic amino functional silicone in the emulsion is selected from the group consisting of an amine-alkyl/dimethyl copolymer, a polar amine/alkyl functional block, an amine/alkoxy end-blocked silicone, and combinations thereof.

5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the preservative is present in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 0.5% by weight of the composition.

6 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the preservative is a mixture of benzisothiazol-3 (2h)-one, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one.

7 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the water is present in an amount of from about 65% to about 99% by weight of the composition.

8 . A composition consisting of:

a non-ionic amino functional silicone emulsion;

a preservative;

water; and

one or more additives selected from the group consisting of a surfactant, a solvent, a fragrance, and a chelating agent.

9 . A method of treating an automotive surface, the method comprising:

applying the composition of claim 1 to the automotive surface.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the automotive surface is selected from the group consisting of a tire, wheel, glass, paint, hood, roof, trunk, an exterior part, and combinations thereof.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the composition is applied by the means of a trigger sprayer.

12 . A method of treating an automotive surface, the method comprising:

applying the composition of claim 8 to the automotive surface.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the automotive surface is selected from the group consisting of a tire, wheel, glass, paint, hood, roof, trunk, an exterior part, and combinations thereof.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition is applied by the means of a trigger sprayer.
