Paint detackification

A method for detackifying paint in a paint spray booth comprised of the steps of treating the water in a paint spray booth collection system with at least 25 ppm of a composition comprising a melamine-formaldehyde resin polyvinyl alcohol polymer mixture.

A method for detackifying paint in a paint spray booth comprised of the steps of treating the water in a paint spray booth collection system with at least 25 ppm of a composition comprising a melamine-formaldehyde resin and polyvinyl alcohol polymer mixture present in a ratio of at least 2.4:1 to 5.5:1 weight ratio based on actives.

A method for detackifying paint in a paint spray booth comprised of the steps of treating the water in a paint spray booth collection system with at least 25 ppm of a composition comprising a melamine-formaldehyde resin and polyvinyl alcohol polymer mixture present in a ratio of to more than 3.0:1 to 4.0:1 weight ratio based on actives.

A method for detackifying paint in a paint spray booth comprised of the steps of treating the water in a paint spray booth collection system with at least 25 ppm of a composition comprising a mixture of melamine-formaldehyde resin, polyvinyl alcohol, and styrene-acrylate polymer, wherein said melamine-formaldehyde resin and said polyvinyl alcohol are present in a weight ratio of at least 2.4:1 to 5.5:1 based on actives, and the molecular weight of the styrene acrylate polymer is within the range of 50,000-100,000.
