POLISHING COMPOSITION,

1T0 Drawing. Application filed March 23,1925, Serial No. 17,800, and in Germany January 21, 1925.

Inthe production of oil of roses from roses a wax-like substance is obtained as a by-product, which is sold as rose-wax. In the course of experiments for the utilization 5 of rose-wax for industrial purposes it was found that rose-wax acts similarly to coffeewax in polishing compositions for leather, linoleum, wood and the like as amea'ns for increasing the .brilliance of the polish.

Hence, rose-wax can be utilized in the polishing compositions as a substitute for coffee-wax, As \comparedwit-h coffee-wax it has certain advantages (1) It reduces the volatilization of the 1 wax solvent in the polishing compositions.

(2) An addition of rpse-wafx increases the polish on the surface in the container;

A suitable proportion of coffee-wax and 1 rose-wax in polishing compositions is, for

instance, 50 parts coffee-wax, 50 parts rosewax. It is, however, also possible to use a smaller addition of rose-wax and the cofi'ee wax may be entirely replaced by rose-wax.

The constituents of the polishing composi- 26 tion may, for instance, be used in the follow- .ing proportions by weight Parts. Montan wax 7 Carnauba wax -1 5 Ceresine 16 Aniline dyes 1 4 Oil of turpentine 68 A mixture of. coflee-wax and rose-wax half-and-half..- 1%

Rose wax, like cofi'ee wax, not only in- 3L creases the brilliancy but has the characterist'ic property not possessed by any other wax of imparting to the polishing agent special homogeneity and permits very fine sub-division of the polishing agent.. Due to 40 the great economy in the use of the polishinglagent greater brillianc is obtained.

a aving now particular y described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 2-- 1. -A polishing composition of wax-like character for leather, linoleum, wood and the like containing as ingredients rose wax andcoflee wax. Y

2, A polishing composition of wax-like I character for leather, linoleum, wood and the like consisting of Montan and carnauba waxes, ceresine', aniline dyes, oil of turpentine, and a mixture of coffee waxand rose -wax.

3. A polishing composition as claimed'in claim 2 characterized in that the ingredientsare combined in the following proportions by weight: Montan wax 7 parts, carnauba n wax 5 parts, ceresine 16 parts, aniline dyes 4v parts, oil of turpentine68 parts, and 1 to 3 parts of cofi'ee-wax androse-wax.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
