Powdering of floor polishes represents the breakdown of a film on the floor, which occurs particularly under cold, low humidity conditions; this has presented a serious problem to the industry. Factors in the powdering or dusting of floor polish films are reviewed. Variables include the effect of measurement technique, humidity, ambient temperature and floor tile surfaces. Correlation between laboratory and field test results is noted, and high correlation is evident provided that extraneous factors such as soil residues are eliminated.
