and were rated excellent with respect to detackification a second run was made using the same procedure as the first run of this example except that the paint sprayed was a black high solids enamel which had been prediluted with an organic solvent the detackification of the floating solids in the mixing chambers was rated excellent a third run was made using the same procedure as the first run of this example except that the paint sprayed was a clear coat high solids enamel which had been prediluted with an organic solvent the detackification of the floating solids in the mixing chambers was rated only fair to poor a fourth run was made using the same procedure as the first run of this example except that the paint sprayed was a red base coat high solids enamel which had been prediluted with an organic solvent the detackification of the floating solids in the mixing chambers was rated only fair to poor a fifth run was made using the same procedure as the first run of this example except that the paint sprayed was a mixture 20 milliliters each of yellow blue metallic brown metallic brown and white high solids enamels which had been prediluted with an organic solvent the detackification of the floating solids in the mixing chambers was rated good to excellent as is well known in the paint spray industry not every detackifier will detackify every type of paint with the same effectiveness the invention described herein is considered particularly effective for detackifying spray booth water containing particles from polyurethane epoxy resin or undiluted high solids enamel paint spray as demonstrated in runs 1.
