This professional-grade thinner is specifically formulated for adjusting the viscosity and improving the workability of alcohol-based coatings and inks. It ensures optimal flow, smooth application, and consistent film formation without affecting drying speed or final finish quality. Compatible with a range of alcohol-based systems, it is ideal for fine-tuning performance in printing, coating, and finishing processes that require precise viscosity control.
Q1: What is the primary purpose of this thinner, and when should it be used?
A: It is designed to precisely adjust the viscosity of alcohol-based coatings and inks to match application requirements (e.g., spray, roll-coat, or screen printing). Use it when the material is too thick for your equipment or environmental conditions, to improve flow, leveling, and transfer efficiency without compromising drying or final properties.
Q2: Is this thinner compatible with all alcohol-based coatings and inks?
A: It is formulated for broad compatibility with most alcohol-based systems, but compatibility should always be verified with the specific coating or ink manufacturer. Incompatible thinners can cause resin precipitation, poor adhesion, or curing defects. Conduct a small-scale test before full application.
Q3: Are there specific safety and handling guidelines due to its alcohol content?
A: Yes. As a solvent-based product, it is flammable and volatile. Use in a well-ventilated area with spark-proof equipment, and avoid ignition sources. Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, safety glasses). Store in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers, and dispose of waste according to local regulations for solvent-based chemicals.
