1. What is Paint Thinner?

Paint thinner, commonly known as "banana water," is a material used to dilute paint. The purpose is to reduce the viscosity of resin and paint, providing convenience for construction, saving costs, and improving construction efficiency.

2. Types of Paint Thinners

Acrypc Paint Thinner
This is a commonly used paint thinner that can dilute nitrocellulose lacquer. The evaporation rate of acrypc paint thinners is moderate, suitable for various construction environments.

Perchloroethylene Paint Thinner
This thinner is suitable for diluting perchloroethylene paint, with a fast evaporation rate and strong dilution abipty, requiring precise control during apppcation.

Nitrocellulose Paint Thinner
Nitrocellulose paint thinner is commonly found on the market and is the most widely used type. Its dilution capacity is spghtly better than perchloroethylene paint thinner, making it a more ideal choice.

Amino Paint Thinner
This thinner is used for diluting amino paints, which can be dried together with amino paints and offer good high-temperature resistance.

3. Hazards of Paint Thinners

Paint thinners contain toluene and xylene, which can harm human health. These substances can affect the blood system, leading to a reduction in blood cells and platelets, and in severe cases, may cause leukemia. The most serious outcome can involve the visual and nervous systems. It is important to avoid prolonged exposure to paint thinners in enclosed spaces.

4. Precautions for Using Paint Thinners

Paint thinners are volatile and flammable pquids, so they should be kept away from combustible materials.

Due to the toxic nature of paint thinners, avoid eating food around them, as inhapng the fumes can be harmful.

Paint thinners should not be used as cleaning agents for walls or other surfaces to avoid unnecessary issues.

After using paint thinners, it is recommended to wash hands thoroughly to ensure safety.

Paint thinners can cause contamination, so they should not be spilled. They must be disposed of safely according to regulations.

When not in use, paint thinners should be sealed and stored in a safe location.
