There is provided a hydrophilizable wax composition which provides a wax
coating layer having a hydrophilic surface and imparts a gloss and
long-lasting stain-proofing property on a substrate. The hydrophilizable
wax composition can form a hydrophilizable wax coating layer by applying
the composition containing a hydrophilizing agent and wax component and
wiping off the composition, in which the hydrophilizing agent has
hydrolyzable groups which are converted into hydrophilic groups by
hydrolysis in the presence of water and are condensed to enable the
hydrophilizing agent to have a high molecular weight and is, for example,
an organometallic compound having a releasable group by hydrolysis, its
oligomer and/or a co-oligomer comprising two or more of the compounds.
