Applications of Epoxy Thinners

The word "Thinner" is a broad term which encapsulates into itself a wide variety that includes NC Thinner, PC thinner, Epoxy Thinner, Enamel Thinner and turpentine thinner. Paint thinners are basically solvents and are used to bring down the viscosity of the paint. Making thinners work to your advantage greatly depends on selecting the right thinner. When you are looking for a thinner that would bring down the viscosity in lacquer paints, wood polishes and automotive paints , NC Thinner would serve the purpose. They reduce consistency and aid in uniform application.NC thinners are low in odor, quick drying, accurate in composition and reduce consistency in proportion. Smooth, shinning finish, quick drying & resistance to water, if these are the qualities sort after, then Polyurethane (PU) Thinner should be your suggestion. They are quick in reducing consistency and give an excellent lacquer finish when applied by spray or dipping.After evaporation precisely developed PU t...

What is a leveling agent? What are the types?

Leveling agents are roughly divided into two categories. One works by adjusting the viscosity of the paint film and the leveling time. Most of these leveling agents are high-boiling organic solvents or their mixtures, such as isophorone, diacetone alcohol, Solvesso150, etc.; the other It works by adjusting the surface properties of the paint film. Generally speaking, the leveling agent refers to this type of leveling agent. This type of leveling agent migrates to the surface of the paint film through limited compatibility, which affects the surface properties such as the interfacial tension of the paint film, and enables the paint film to achieve good leveling. According to different chemical structures, there are three main types of this type of leveling agents: acrylics, silicones and fluorocarbons. classification: Silicone type Silicone oil Commonly used silicone oils are polydimethylsiloxane and polymethylphenylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane is used in coatings and inks. Although p...

Application and characteristics of leveling agent in coatings

The leveling agent is a common surface active agent, and the leveling agent plays a great role at the interface. Next, the Yincai editor will talk about the application and characteristics of leveling agents in coatings. The leveling agent is a common surfactant, and the leveling agent plays a great role at the interface. Next, the 258 platform editor will talk about the application and characteristics of leveling agents in coatings. leveling agent is a kind of surface active agent that people often use and are familiar with. It is called a surfactant, not because of its structure, but because of its role at the interface. It has limited compatibility with resin solvents, and is squeezed out to the air/liquid interface to play a surface active role. The surface tension of the coating is in a balanced state, and the surface defects caused by the difference in surface tension are overcome. The role of leveling agent in coatings There are many shortcomings and shortcomings in the pe...
