Claims
- 1. A method of using a finishing agent, comprising the steps of:
- applying a finishing agent comprising an alkoxysilane surface active agent, a silanol condensing catalyst and a nonaqueous liquid or solid medium to a surface of a substrate having active hydrogen groups;
- reacting active hydrogen groups of the surface of the substrate with said alkoxysilane surface active agent in the presence of said silanol condensing catalyst on the surface of said substrate having said active hydrogen groups; and
- removing unreacted finishing agent from the surface of the substrate.
- 2. The method of using a finishing agent according to claim 1, further comprising a step of washing the substrate prior to applying the finishing agent.
- 3. The method of using a finishing agent according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said silanol condensing catalyst and alkoxysilane surface active agent is microencapsuled, and at least a portion of said alkoxysilane surface active agent comes in contact with at least a portion of said silanol condensing catalyst when said microcapsules are broken during application of the finishing agent.
- 4. The method of using a finishing agent according to claim 1, wherein the finishing agent further comprises at least one abrasive material and the finishing agent is applied on the surface of the substrate so as to polish at least a portion of the surface of said substrate.
- 5. A method of using a finishing agent, comprising the steps of:
- applying a finishing agent comprising an alkoxysilane surface active agent, a nonaqueous catalyst and a nonaqueous liquid or solid medium to a surface of a substrate having active hydrogen groups;
- reacting active hydrogen groups of the surface of the substrate with said alkoxysilane surface active agent in the presence of said nonaqueous catalyst on the surface of said substrate having said active hydrogen groups; and
- removing unreacted finishing agent from the surface of the substrate.
- 6. The method of using a finishing agent according to claim 5, wherein at least one of said nonaqueous catalyst and alkoxysilane surface active agent is microencapsuled, and at least a portion of said alkoxysilane surface active agent comes in contact with at least a portion of said nonaqueous catalyst when said microcapsules are broken during application of the finishing agent.
