Flow improvers of mol. wt. 5,000-100,000 for use with coatings are branched polymers based on radically- or ionically-polymerizable monomers (M) which have macromolecular units (MM) having monomer units with an ethylenically-unsaturated bond at a terminal, these units (II) being polymerized-in by radical or ionic polymerization and having a mol. wt. of 1,000-30,000 while making up 1-60 wt.% of the branched polymer. |
