Product Information

You should essentially use them to blend/dissolve into your preferred primers, paints, oil-based coatings, varnishes, etc, to reduce their viscosity. Storing them for reusing can be, therefore, tempting – if you have some left behind after you are done with your paint project.

Electrostatic thinners helps to get a better wrap round effect on the substrate of paint coverage( a key benefit of electrostatic systems being the reduction in paint usage) but the negative is that it extends the drying time of the paint.Thus, you need to be cautious that the paint thinner you are using isn’t very volatile and should always be placed away from nearby fire sources. However, if the paint has dried, you will need to use acetone, which is the only solvent that can dissolve dried-out paint. How to Choose the Right Paint Thinner? For example, if you are spraying the paint with a sprayer gun, you may need to thin the paint bit more than compared when using it with a paintbrush or a roller.

No. 7 can be used as a cleaner for pumps and tools before and after painting and is designed to improve the flow of a range of Jotun coatings, including Conseal TU and Pilot. Thinner is used to allow the paint to atomise through the spray gun correctly and give a fine finish. If you are using a high pressure airless paint system then you may not require thinner as the pump will force the paint through the nozzle at high pressure.If you are using these toxic solvents for the first time, make sure you know how to use them correctly to avoid damage. But remember, storing paint thinners in a plastic bottle or a plastic-made container isn’t recommended as they can eat through the plastic material if left for long. How long it will take to evaporate will, however, depend on the type of paint thinner, the size of the container, and the opening it has!
