Abstract
The concentration of an emulsified liquid resin in an aqueous composition which contains the resin and at least one ionic compound is reduced. The reduction is carried out by mixing a solution of a non-ionic cellulose ether in a liquid diluent with the aqueous composition. An agglomerate of cellulose ether and liquid resin is formed and the agglomerate can be separated.
