Patent attributes
A method of treating a surface is provided. The method includes disposing a condensation reduction composition on the surface, thereby treating the surface to reduce formation of condensate and/or an amount of condensate thereon. The condensation reduction composition comprises a surface-active agent comprising an alkyl polyglycoside. The condensation reduction composition may further comprise a preservative, a pH control agent, and/or water. A treated surface prepared in accordance with the method is also provided. The method and treated surface prepared therewith are useful in reducing condensate and/or formation of condensate on surfaces, e.g. by reducing the number of condensate drops falling from the surface, increasing the rate of condensate evaporation on the surface, and/or increasing the rate of water absorption into or through the surface, e.g. upon or during exposure of the treated surface to a condensation condition.
