Abstract
Abstract The paint denaturant composition of this invention includes mixing magnesium sulfate with complex silicate minerals. The complex silicate minerals disclosed include bentonite clay, kaolin clay, and diatomite preferably a mixture thereof. The paint denaturant composition as disclosed is preferably a slurry but may be a dry powder composition. Additives incorporating magnesium sulfate, or a combination of magnesium sulfate, a polyelectrolyte and water, are also disclosed for use with paint denaturant compositions including silicate minerals. The addition of a polyelectrolyte solution to the magnesium sulfate and complex silicate mineral paint denaturant composition is also disclosed for improving floculation prior to filtration or mechanical separation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A slurried paint denaturant composition for denaturing and detackifying paint overspray particles upon addition to circulating water system of a paint spray booth, said paint denaturant composition comprising by weight 70 to 93% water, 0.3 to 10% magnesium sulfate, and at least 5% complex silicate mineral materials as a fine powder suspended in water; said silicate materials consisting essentially of 40 to 50 parts by weight bentonite and 15 to 25 parts by weight kaolinite, and up to 35 parts by weight diatomite, provided that the diatomite component is present in an amount sufficient to constitute at least 4.9% by weight of the final slurried composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A slurried paint denaturant composition for denaturing and detackifying paint overspray particles upon addition to circulating water system of a paint spray booth, said paint denaturant composition comprising by weight 70 to 93% water, 0.3 to 10% magnesium sulfate, and at least 5% complex silicate mineral materials as a fine powder suspended in water; said silicate materials consisting essentially of 40 to 50 parts by weight bentonite and 15 to 25 parts by weight kaolinite, and up to 35 parts by weight diatomite, provided that the diatomite component is present in an amount sufficient to constitute at least 4.9% by weight of the final slurried composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The slurried paint denaturant composition defined in claim 1, characterized in that said composition further includes polyelectrolyte which increases the dispersion of colloidal solutions and increases flocculation present in an amount sufficient to increase flocculation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The slurried paint denaturant composition defined in claim 1, characterized in that said composition includes 15 to 50% by weight kaolinite based on the composition of the additional silicate material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The slurried paint denaturant composition defined in claim 1, characterized in that said composition includes about equal parts by weight of kaolinite and diatomite.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A paint denaturant composition which comprises about 48 parts by weight bentonite, 18 parts by weight kaolinite, 33 parts by weight diatomite and 4 parts by weight magnesium sulfate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A paint denaturant composition which comprises about 48 parts by weight bentonite, 18 parts by weight kaolinite, 33 parts by weight diatomite and 4 parts by weight magnesium sulfate.
