Thinner is useful for reducing the viscosity (thickness) of the materials to be applied using a spray or brush.
Paint sprayers and paint brushes are useful tools for applying finishing materials and can only work with a certain viscosity limit.
Therefore, a finishing material must be diluted first with a thinner so that the viscosity drops, so that these materials can be applied easily.
Besides being useful for reducing viscosity, thinner is also useful for adjusting the properties of the finishing material so that the material can be applied as needed.
By using a thinner, a finishing material can be adjusted to the speed of drying time and the thickness of the finishing layer can be determined with a certain size according to needs.
Thinner can also function as:
- As a paint mix.
- As a rusty iron cleaner.
- As a solvent.
- As a glossy material.
- As a paint evaporator so that it dries quickly.
