Thinner

Thinner is a clear and volatile liquid. There are too many varieties. It is used as a solvent and diluent in various industries. In general, this chemical is obtained from a combination of several different chemical solvents. Its composition is determined according to the application and the materials used. This material is one of the main and most important tools of the industrial and construction paints sector. This chemical is also used to improve the properties of colors.

STREAMING

Thinner types can be divided into two general categories as fast and oily.

FAST THINNERS

This type of compound is used to dilute all kinds of cellulosic paints, concealers, varnishes and ready-made paints in dry air. Due to the high evaporation rate of such compounds, it is called a fast thinner. In general, the ratio of the composition of cellulose colors with thinner is about 1.5 to 1. These ready-made compounds have different types with different levels of solubility. This type of compounds is very suitable for all kinds of paints, sealants, quick varnishes and dilution of automobile paints.

OILY THINNERS

Such compounds are prepared from hydrocarbon solvents. They are usually used to dilute oil paints. Fat thinners dry out more slowly than their ready-made composition. The ratio of combination with oil paints is approximately half to one.

THINNER USES

The main purpose of using these materials is to dilute and reduce the viscosity of various paint and coating materials. These include sealants, Decals, polyester, polyurethane, etc. You can choose the appropriate thinner according to the type of paint or coating material. This multi-feature, dilution, creates secondary applications. These applications include cleaning equipment and Decking tools, spraying paint with spray equipment and making paint sprays, preventing paint hardening when the container lid is left open.

There are many types of these compounds. Several varieties should be selected according to the chemical structure of the paint or coating. Because it will have a big impact on their characteristics and performance. Among its effects on Decking may include:

Viscosity reduction.
Improving the brushability and spraying ability.
It is used to increase the drying speed of the paint.
After the coating is applied, it is used to improve the quality of the surfaces.
It is used to improve the gloss and adhesion of the coating to the surface.

You should pay attention to the following points when choosing a thinner type for different colors and coatings. In addition, the higher the solubility (dilution), the more it will reduce the viscosity of the paint October:

Solving power
Evaporation rate
Density
Ignition point
Paint
Other physical and chemical properties
The ratio of the evaporation rate of the thinner to the drying rate of the paint or coating
PRODUCTION PROCESS

All types of beams are obtained by mixing different chemical solvents. The main method of their production is multi-solvent mixing and blending, which is determined according to the manufacturer’s formulation according to the type, selection and quantity.

SECURITY ISSUES

Thinner is very flammable because it is a mixture of different solvents. It is necessary to take the necessary safety measures when using this substance. In addition to being flammable, these materials have harmful effects on the environment and are dangerous for human health. For this reason, they should not be used in a closed area.

Since thinners dissolve natural oils, They cause skin damage and discomfort if they come into contact with the skin. It should not be forgotten that they are absorbed by the skin. For this reason, gloves and protective glasses should be used. In case of skin contact, remove contaminated clothing. Wash the skin with plenty of cold water and soap.

Inhalation of the vapors of this substance may cause shortness of breath and respiratory failure. If this happens, keep the person in clean and warm air. Jul. Definitely see a doctor. In addition, it is recommended to use appropriate ventilation in the working environment where this chemical is present to prevent this from happening.

If swallowed, there is a possibility of side effects such as suffocation, diarrhea, blood pressure drop and abdominal contraction. In this case, see a doctor immediately.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE METHODS

Since thinner is flammable, it should be stored in a separate area, in a dry and cool environment and with proper ventilation. The lid of the container containing this chemical must be closed well. It should be well sealed for reuse. Keep away from all sources of ignition, and carbon dioxide canisters and fire extinguishers can be used in case of combustion. Also, prevent this substance from leaking into the sewer.

It should be remembered that there is a possibility of explosion due to the mixing and accumulation of vapors of this compound with air. For this reason, it is recommended to use explosion-proof equipment and lighting in the environments where this material is stored. In addition, the environment in which this chemical compound is stored must have a suitable starting system.
