Any liquid used to reduce the thickness of paint or ink.
Material added to resin in order to thin it or lower the viscosity of the resin.There is a limit to the amount of thinner that can be added without affecting the desirable qualities of the resin. Styrene (see also) is the common thinner for polyester resin, although acetone will thin resin also, but should generally not be used for this purpose.
A product that lowers the viscosity of a substance, usually an enamel or acrylic paint, to change its application properties. Thinner is used notably for airbrush ing a paint, to thin it down and enable it to be atomised. See also the Humbrol products section for information on the Enamel Thinner s product.
For cleaning or diluting paint pigment.
Volatile organic liquid used to adjust the consistency or modify the other properties of a coating. The portion of a coating, which evaporates during the drying process.
A liquid which reduces viscosity and/or extends a coating material.
Solvent added to a lacquer to reduce its viscosity to sprayable consistency. (See Reducer)
Liquid used to thin paint and also for clean-up. Thinners must be compatible with the type of paint they are used with, i.e., enamel thinner for enamel; lacquer thinner for lacquer.
Material to reduce the paint viscosity (thickness).
A liquid that, along with the binder, forms the paint's vehicle. The thinner evaporates after the paint is applied. Water is the thinner used in water-based paint, while turpentine, mineral spirits and denatured alcohol are thinners associated with different solvent-based coatings; the liquid used to thin the coating.
The thinner and binder together form the paint's vehicle. Water, the thinner used in latex paints, evaporates as the paint dries, allowing a smooth paint application. Turpentine or spirits are the thinners in oil-based paints.
Any product used to thin paint. Water is a thinner for acrylic paint and turpentine for oils.
(1) a volatile liquid added to an adhesive or coating material to modify the consistency or other properties; (2) a liquid used to clean equipment or other surfaces.
A liquid, such as turpentine, mixed with paint or varnish to reduce its viscosity and make it easier to apply
A liquid used to reduce the viscosity of a coating and that will evaporate before or during the cure of a film.
A blend of volatile organic solvents added to the paint to reduce it to the correct viscosity for application.
additive for adjusting ink viscosity and enabling evaporation of VOCs from surface of inked pad.
Solvent material used to reduce the viscosity of lacquers.
A liquid which dilutes a liquid coating system, making it easier to apply, and sometimes aiding adhesion by carrying the binder into the substrate.
A liquid that is mixed with paint to make it less thick. Mineral spirits may be used for alkyd paints and water for latex paint.
A volatile material used to thin or reduce finishing materials.
A solvent used to thin paints and enamels prior to application.
A petroleum-based solvent used for thinning and removing oil-based paint.
Something that is added to an ink in order to lower its viscosity and increase its flow. 1) Retarder: a solvent or other liquid that is added to an ink in order to slow the drying rate. High boiling point. 2) Fast Thinner: a solvent or other liquid that is added to an ink in order to increase its drying rate. Low boiling point.
a liquid used to reduce the viscosity of coatings or mastic. Thinners evaporate during the curing process. Thinners may be used as solvents for clean-up of equipment.
Volatile liquid used to adjust consistency or to modify other properties of paint, varnish and lacquer. Thinner is used to thin and clean up paint.
