Stable, aqueous, colloidal synthetic resin compositions comprising (1) from about 0.1 percent by weight to about 60 percent by weight of a colloidal synthetic resin; and (2) from about 0.01 percent by weight to about 2 percent by weight, based on the dry solids weight of the colloidal synthetic resin, of a metal ammine coordination complex of a high molecular weight, water-soluble, polymeric, polycarboxy-containing thickening resin, said metal being selected from the group consisting of zinc, copper, cobalt, nickel and chromium; and methods of applying the synthetic resin compositions to porous, absorbent materials and controlling the migration or spreading thereon or penetration thereinto by applying the synthetic resin compositions to the porous, absorbent materials and substantially immediately diluting the synthetic resin composition to substantially immediately coagulate and precipitate the synthetic resin composition. |
