Recochem 2 Pack Thinners - Solvents and Thinners - Recochem - Image 1
Description

Recochem 2 Pack Thinners is a medium to fast drying thinner for two pack polyurethane and other solvent borne paints, in 20 L drums, minimum order 4.

What it does

Recochem sells it as Recosol 2 Pack Thinners: xylene (60 to 70 per cent), n-butyl acetate (20 to 30 per cent) and PGMEA (10 per cent) on the SDS. It was built for two pack polyurethane. A graduated boiling range and strong tail solvents hold back the last stage of drying, so the coat levels out to a high gloss. Recochem says it thins many other paints too.

Where to use it

  • Reducing two pack polyurethane topcoats before application
  • Thinning other solvent borne paints where the coating maker allows it

Part of our Solvents and Thinners range. For single pack enamels, see Recochem Enamel Thinners.

How to use

  1. Check the coating maker's data sheet for the thinner type and the maximum thinning rate, and keep within it.
  2. Add the thinner gradually and stir it in well.
  3. Spray with good ventilation and no ignition sources nearby.
  4. Earth metal containers when pouring and keep drums sealed between pours.

Safe on / avoid

It is immiscible with water, so it does not suit water based paint. Per the SDS, its xylene and ester content attacks rubber, many plastics and some coatings, so keep it off finished paintwork and trim. No plastic buckets. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
