How to dilute paint (types of solvents)
There are special tools that help achieve the desired consistency of the material.
They differ in evaporation rate:
- Universal. These include compositions suitable for various paints. Suitable for work at any time of the year.
- Evaporates quickly. Such thinners help the paint dry quickly, which allows you to work with paint at low temperatures in the autumn-winter period.
- Slowly evaporating. Suitable for the hot season. Thanks to its low volatility, the paint becomes elastic, making it easy and pleasant to work with.
Thinners also differ in chemical properties:
- Hydrocarbon-based thinner: gasoline, kerosene, White Spirit and others;
- Thinners containing xylene, toluene, alcohols, ketones and ethers.
