Stain composition
A stain composition comprising at least one anti-ticking agent, at least one colorant, and at least one surfactant configured to at least partially suspend the hydrous aluminum silicate in a carrier liquid.
1. A stain composition comprising:
an inert suspension including
an aqueous carrier liquid:
at least one anti-ticking agent having a concentration in the stain composition ranging from about 3.0% by weight, based on an entire weight of the stain composition;
at least one colorant; and
at least one surfactant configured to at least partially suspend the at least one anti-ticking agent in the carrier liquid;
wherein the stain composition is used with soft and porous substrates.
2. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the at least one silicate-based anti-ticking agent ranges from about 5.0% by weight to about 10.0% by weight.
3. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one silicate-based anti-ticking agent comprises hydrous aluminum silicate.
4. The stain composition of claim 3 , wherein the hydrous aluminum silicate has an average particle size of about 2.0 micrometers or less.
5. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric binder comprises a polyurethane copolymer resin.
6. The stain composition of claim 5 , wherein the polyurethane copolymer resin comprises ethylenically-unsaturated groups.
7. The stain composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one surfactant has a concentration in the stain composition ranging from about 0.1% by weight to about 5% by weight.
8. The stain composition of claim 1 , and further comprising an adjuvant selected from the group consisting of moisturizing agents, rheology-modifying agents, heat stabilizers, leveling agents, sedimentation inhibitors, ultraviolet-light absorbers, biological agents, plasticizers, and combinations thereof.
9. A stain composition comprising:
an inert suspension including
an aqueous carrier liquid;
at least one silicate-based material having an average particle size of about 2.0 micrometers or less, wherein the at least one silicate-based material has a concentration in the stain composition of at least about 3% by weight, based on an entire weight of the stain composition;
at least one colorant; and
at least one surfactant configured to at least partially suspend the at least one silicate-based material in the carrier liquid;
wherein the stain composition is used with soft and porous substrates.
10. The stain composition of claim 9 , wherein the average particle size of the at least one silicate-based material is about 1.0 micrometer or less.
11. The stain composition of claim 9 , and further comprising a polymer binder.
12. The stain composition of claim 9 , wherein the at least one silicate-based material comprises aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide.
13. The stain composition of claim 9 , wherein the concentration of the at least one silicate-based material ranges from about 5.0% by weight to about 10.0% by weight.
14. The stain composition of claim 9 , wherein the at least one surfactant has a concentration in the stain composition ranging from about 0.1% by weight to about 5% by weight.
15. The stain composition of claim 9 , wherein the concentration of the carrier liquid ranges from about 70% by weight to about 80% by weight.
