Product Information

Etch Thinners is a specialist product fur thinning etch primers (used to coat surfaces such as galvanised metal and aluminium that require an etch). Not recommended for thinning topcoats.

Can I use gun wash or standard thinners in my paint? We would never recommend using gun wash or standard thinners in paint. These products are recycled solvent and have varying quantities of water in the solution. When putting this in paint it will likely cause major problems including not drying, blooming, going matt or flaking off the substrate. NOTE: It is advisable always to use a same-brand paint system as the thinners, primers and topcoats are formulated to withstand and work with each other. Instead, it’s the best strategy to keep the paint thinner and other similar paint solvents in a seal-tight glass bottle, jar, or container. However if you are using a conventional spray gun without thinner, the paint could dry matt, have orange peel effect or a very uneven finish.

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. On the other hand, if sealed tightly in the container, you can keep the paint thinners for several months without worrying about their rate of evaporation.

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.Since paint thinners can be toxic and can emit harmful fumes, many manufacturers have developed eco-friendly paint thinners alternatives for the sake of the environment. Depending on the type of plastic material (ABS plastic, HDPE, LDPE, PET, PP, or EPDM), paint thinners may melt the plastic bag creating a huge mess. Regardless of their type and ingredients, the main purpose of all these different paint thinners is to provide a superior top-notch finish. Keep in mind that each type of paint will come with different consistencies, and the technique you use for thinning may differ.
