Nitro-solvent - KN code: 38140090

General features

Each paint type has its typical thinner/solvent. These are often incompatible. Another important feature of thinners is the speed of evaporation. If a paint coat dries too quickly, the time is not sufficient for spreading out to a smooth, even layer. If it dries too slowly, the paint can flow down on vertical surfaces and absorb a lot of dust. The following picture contains the solvents used in thinners and their relative speed of evaporation. (The combination of appropriate solvents allows elaborating almost all evaporation velocities requested.)

• Nitro-solvent dissolves the (semi-)solid binders and helps the formation of homogeneous mixtures from binders, pigments and additives.
• It serves as an agent that helps to bring the paint from the box to the surface.
• It provides for the proper viscosity of the paint to facilitate the formation of smooth, even paint layers.

Uses:

• For thinning paints and varnishes,
• for cleaning tools.

Hazards:

• Highly flammable.
• Harmful in case of inhalation or skin contact.
• Risk of serious damage to eyes.
• Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
