What is Floor Wax?

Floor wax is a type of material used to protect and add shine to floors. It is typically made from a mixture of solvents, waxes, resins, and oils that create a hard, protective finish when applied to surfaces like wood, vinyl, or linoleum. Floor wax not only enhances the appearance of the floor but also provides a layer of protection against scratches, stains, and water damage. It requires periodic stripping and reapplication to maintain its protective qualities and aesthetic appeal.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{FW} = \frac{500 \times 0.05}{80} = \frac{25}{80} \approx 0.31 \, \text{oz} \]

The amount of floor wax needed is approximately 0.31 oz.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{FW} = \frac{1000 \times 0.1}{90} = \frac{100}{90} \approx 1.11 \, \text{oz} \]

The amount of floor wax needed is approximately 1.11 oz.
