General Description:
Thinner is a mixture of esters, glycol, alcohol, aromatic solvents and ketones suitable diluents to all nitro products. It is manufactured for reducing lacquers before they are applied by different
methods.
Advantages:
1. Quickly reduces the consistency of the lacquer/paint
to the required degree.
2. Improves film smoothness of lacquers/paint when
applied either by spray or dipping thus
extending excellent finish.
3. Lacquer/paint dries without blushing, resin blush,
pinholing and other surface defects.
4. No “ orange peel” developed after the evaporation of Thinner and therefore increases the tensile strength of the film along with its gloss
