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 different conditions such as temperature and humidity.

what is a thinner and how is it used?
Thinners serve multiple purposes and are often used as solvents to clean brushes, spray guns, and tools after painting. They also reduce the viscosity of paint, primer, filler, or clear coat, making it easier to apply and ensuring a smooth, even finish. The choice of thinner depends on the type of paint and application conditions.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT THINNER FOR YOUR PROJECT
Temperature and weather conditions play an important role when selecting a thinner. Quick thinner is used at low temperatures (below 15°C) to ensure fast drying, while normal thinner is suitable for moderate temperatures (15-25°C). Slow thinner is applied at high temperatures (above 25°C) to extend drying time and prevent too rapid drying. Additionally, there are special cellulose thinners and fade-out thinners for spot repairs, which help blend old and new paint seamlessly.
