Abstract: The invention relates to coagulating agents formulated in the form of two separate components A and B for coagulating paints, waxes and coating compositions, which agents contain one or more aluminosilicate(s), one or more wax(es) and/or wax analogues and one or more active ingredient(s) and/or auxiliary material(s) that are known per se for coagulating and/or formulating, as well as to the aqueous slurries of the two-component agents and to the use thereof in circulation waters of paint disposal units.

Abstract: The invention describes the use of molybdenum compounds in circulating waters of wet precipitators of spray coating units for detackifying and coagulating paints and/ or varnishes, waxes and other organic coating compositions, and a process for detackifying and coagulating paints and/ or varnishes, waxes and other organic coating compositions by means of molybdenum-containing coagulants.

Abstract: Removal of wet overspray from lacquer or similar water insoluble coatings by predominantly aqueous cleaning liquids is improved by including in the cleaning liquids as a coagulation agent a salt of a copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid that contains 8 to 25% by weight of acrylic acid units and 92 to 75% by weight of ethylene units in its acid form. The cleaning liquid may be conveniently made by diluting an aqueous concentrate containing 2 to 25% by weight of the copolymer salt. Including cyanamide derivatives such as calcium cyanamide in the cleaning liquid further improves its coagulating effectiveness.
