An additive for improving the transfer efficiency of paint comprises an ultra high molecular weight polymer dissolved in a solvent selected from the group consisting of glycol ethers, halogenated aromatic materials and combinations thereof. UHMW acrylic polymers are one preferred group of polymers, and materials with a molecular weight in the range of 8,000,000-12,000,000 are particularly preferred. Also disclosed are methods for using the additive. |
