Claim 2

A composition for the clarification and detackification of paint spray booth wastes which consists of: A. from 10-60% by weight of a water soluble metallic salt from the group consisting of zinc chloride, zinc sulfate, zinc nitrate, aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, ferric sulfate and ferric chloride; 10 - B. from 20 - 70% by weight of a lower aliphatic amino alcohol selected from the group consisting of monoethanolamine, monoisopropanolamine, monopropanolamine, and monoisobutanolamine; C. from 0 - 20% by weight of a water soluble polyether polyamine which has been prepared by the steps which comprise: i. Reacting a polyalkylene oxide, said alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide propylene oxide and butylene oxide with a lower difunctional epoxide selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrin, epibromohydrin and epiiodohydrin in a mole ratio of hydroxyl groups present on said polyalkylene oxide to lower difunctional epoxide of from 0.5:1.0 to 1.0:0.5, said polyalkylene oxide further characterized as having a molecular weight of from 100 to 1,000 whereby a capped polyalkylene oxide is formed; ii. Reacting the capped polyalkylene oxide of step i with a lower aliphatic amine having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms and two or more amino groups in a mole ratio of from 1:5 to 1:1 based on the number of amino groups present on the amine compound and the number of halogens on the capped polyalkylene oxide; and then, iii. Recovering the polyether polyamine. D. from 20 to 60% by weight water.
