Thinner
A thinner is used to regulate viscosity and evaporation rate in paint, primer, filler or clear coat. With a thinner, the application properties can be adjusted so that the product can be used optimally in several different environments, depending on temperature and humidity.

overview of thinner uses
Thinners serve multiple purposes and are commonly used as solvents to clean brushes, spray guns, and tools after painting. More importantly, they regulate the viscosity and evaporation rate of paint, primer, filler, or clear coat, making the product easier to apply on various surfaces and under different environmental conditions.
choosing the right thinner
The amount and type of thinner needed varies depending on whether the paint is water-based, solvent-based, or acrylic. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommended mixing ratios to ensure the best results and avoid issues during application.
thinner for automotive paint
Using a thinner specifically for car paint can improve application by dissolving clogs and adjusting the paint's flow. Thinners are often included in the product's mixing instructions.
Quick Thinner (Short Thinner): Used at lower temperatures (e.g., below 15°C) to speed up drying in cooler conditions.
Normal Thinner (Medium Thinner): Ideal for moderate temperatures (15°C to 25°C), balancing drying time and paint handling.
Slow Thinner (Long Thinner): Used in warm weather (above 25°C) to extend drying time and prevent paint from drying too quickly.
thinner for clear coat
Adding a small amount of thinner or reducer to clear coat improves atomization and flow during drying, resulting in a smoother finish.
specialty thinners and applications
Our range includes cellulose thinners and fade-out thinners, commonly used in automotive repairs. Fade-out thinners help blend new paint with old during spot repairs, often available in spray form for convenience.
Always check product requirements and usage instructions before applying any thinner to achieve optimal results.
