Floor Waxe : What is it?

FloorWaxes1

Floor wax is a type of coating used for making floors shine and preserving their finish. It contains wax,  a base ingredient (water, solvent, or polymer), and enhancers. In some cases, wax can also be used on its own to give floors a matte satin finish.

Kinds of Floor Waxes include the following:

Water-based floor wax

  • Water-based floor wax produces high gloss even without buffing.
  • It is ideal for vinyl, vinyl asbestos, asphalt, and rubber-tiled floors.

Solvent-based floor wax

  • Solvent-based floor wax needs vigorous buffing before it can produce a good shine.
  • Buffing is done using an electric polisher.
  • It produces a hard, shiny finish ideal for cork, wood, and terrazzo floors.

Polymer floor wax

  • Polymer floor wax is a self-polishing wax.
  • It tends to wear out easily in high-traffic areas.
  • It discolors after some time.
