COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR DECREASING POLLUTION RESULTING FROM THE APPLICATION OF A COATING COMPOSITION

摘要

Described is a method for decreasing the air pollution resulting from the application of paint by applying an organic solvent based paint and a water miscible organic solvent based thinner to a substrate thereby forming a gaseous effluent comprised of a mixture of air and gaseous organic solvent and gaseous thinner and passing the gaseous effluent into a gas absorbing means comprised of a non-reactive liquid solvent. Also described is a novel completely water miscible organic based solvent thinner.
