Many people think that thinners only dilute the paint and have no effect on the performance of the paint film. It is more casual to use during construction, whichever thinner is used around, regardless of the primer thinner or topcoat thinner. There are individual pay attention to the use of the thinner of the primer and the topcoat separately, but it does not distinguish between manufacturers or fast-drying thinner.

First, the thinner quickly dries can make the paint gloss higher

Paint manufacturers in different seasons will automatically provide thinners with different volatilization rates. Many manufacturers separate the fast and slow drying diluents into separate packaging labels, which provides great adjustment space for on-site construction.

Here, the Kunshan chemical plant reminds you that if fast-drying thinner is used in summer, the gloss of the paint will be 20 ° higher than that of using slow-drying thinner.

Second, the thinner with strong solubility increases the gloss of the paint

The role of standard thinner is to dilute the paint, reduce the viscosity, make the paint reach the viscosity required by the equipment and the best construction effect. After construction, all the diluent will be volatilized to the atmosphere, which is difficult to recycle. This is also the main cause of environmental pollution caused by paint, and it is the main reason for everyone to change to water-based paint. So as long as the requirements are met, the lower the price, the better.

The dilution process requires two points on the diluent:

1. The dissolving power of the diluent must not be too weak. If it is too weak, it will cause the paint to flocculate into a mass, and the paint cannot be diluted. Thinner is added to the paint, the paint and thin material are separated, the upper layer is clear, and the lower layer of paint is shrunk. And no matter how it is stirred, the paint is like a ball of bubble gum, sticky, and never blends with the thinner.

2. The solubility of the diluent must not be too strong. Too strong a diluent will cause pigments in the paint to flocculate and the pigments to precipitate out of the paint. This type of phenomenon is more subtle and often undetected.

How much thinner affects the gloss of paint

Adding too much diluent will reduce gloss, mainly due to adding too much diluent, the paint solid content will decrease, the dry film will become thin, resulting in low gloss.

Thinner

1. Thinner appearance: colorless transparent liquid.

2. Thinner performance: Standard thinner for silk screen ink, with slightly clear fragrance and fast volatilization speed.
