TURPENTINE DILUENT

TURPENTINE DILUENT:

Each paint has its own typical thinner or solvent. Very often they are not compatible. Another important characteristic of thinners is the evaporation rate. A coat of paint that dries too quickly does not have enough time to spread into a smooth and even layer. If it dries too slowly, it can shrink on the vertical parts and pick up a lot of dust.

It dissolves (semi-) solid binders and promotes the formation of a homogeneous mixture of binders, pigments and additives. A medium that facilitates the transfer of paint from the can to the surface. It gives the paint the right viscosity to allow a smooth, even film of paint to form.

TURPENTINE DILUENT USE:

For diluting paint and varnish, cleaning tools. Hazard level: Less flammable. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects to the aquatic environment. Harmful if swallowed, may cause lung damage if aspirated (foreign substance is aspirated into the airways).
