THINNER

A thinner is a liquid designed to reduce the viscosity of coating materials (paints, enamels, lacquers) without changing their basic properties and structure. Unlike solvents, thinners do not fully dissolve the binders but simply make the material easier to apply. Using a thinner improves the flow of the paint, ensures even application and results in a higher-quality coating. It is selected according to the type of material (alkyd, acrylic, nitro and others). It is used in construction, renovation and industry when painting various surfaces. It can also be used to clean tools after work. Safety precautions must be observed during use, as many thinners are volatile and flammable substances.
