LACQUER THINNER, PAINT REDUCER/THINNER, CLEANING METAL SURFACES

Our industrial-grade Lacquer Thinner is a high-solvency, fast-evaporating solvent engineered for thinning compatible paints, cleaning metal surfaces, and maintaining spray equipment. It effectively reduces the viscosity of lacquers and alkyd enamels for optimal spray application, ensuring a smooth, professional finish. This product is an essential consumable for fabrication, manufacturing, and MRO projects.

  • Industrial Grade Solvent
  • Fast-Evaporating Formula
  • Application: Paint Thinning & Surface Prep
  • Compatibility: Oil-Based & Alkyd Coatings
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

This Lacquer Thinner is a carefully balanced blend of industrial solvents formulated for high performance in demanding environments. Its primary function is to lower the viscosity of coatings, allowing for easier application with spray guns and promoting better leveling and flow. The fast evaporation rate is critical for achieving a quick-drying, hard finish without runs or sags. This property also makes it an extremely effective degreaser and cleaning agent for removing oil, grease, and other contaminants from metal substrates prior to painting, ensuring maximum adhesion for DTM primers and topcoats.

As a versatile shop consumable, our lacquer thinner is indispensable for both surface preparation and cleanup. It is the go-to solution for cleaning paint guns, hoses, and other application equipment to prevent clogging and extend tool life. For MRO and fabrication shops in the Los Angeles area, keeping a ready supply of this industrial-grade thinner ensures that painting projects proceed efficiently, from initial metal prep to final cleanup, maintaining high standards of quality and productivity.

Specifications

  • Material: Blend of Industrial Solvents (e.g., Toluene, Acetone, Ketones)
  • Standards: Meets general industrial MRO & fabrication quality standards.
  • Strength/Tensile: N/A (Solvent)
  • Dimensions: Available in 1-Gallon Cans and 5-Gallon Pails
  • Finish: N/A (Clear Liquid)
  • Certifications: Industrial Quality Assurance. Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available upon request.

Applications

  • Fabrication & Manufacturing: Thinning industrial coatings for spray application on machinery, structural steel, and fabricated parts. Cleaning spray guns, lines, and equipment post-application.
  • MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Operations): Preparing metal surfaces by removing grease, oil, and contaminants before painting. Stripping old paint or lacquer from equipment.
  • Construction & Architectural Metals: Adjusting the viscosity of alkyd paints for ornamental ironwork and structural components. Cleaning tools and spills on job sites.
  • Automotive & Refinishing: Used as a reducer for specific automotive lacquers and primers. Degreasing metal panels before applying body filler or paint.

Target Users

This product is essential for professional painters, metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and MRO personnel who require a high-performance solvent for surface preparation and coating application.

Finish Options

This product is a clear solvent and does not have a finish. It is used to prepare surfaces for various paint finishes, including gloss, satin, and matte, and to thin the coatings used to achieve them.

How to Measure

Specify lacquer thinner by the required container volume. When using as a reducer, always consult the paint manufacturer's technical data sheet for the correct thinning ratio (e.g., 4 parts paint to 1 part thinner). Over-thinning can compromise coating performance.

Example: To order, specify 'Five 1-Gallon cans of industrial lacquer thinner' or 'One 5-Gallon pail of lacquer thinner'.

Order Checklist

  • Product: Industrial Lacquer Thinner
  • Container Size: 1-Gallon Can or 5-Gallon Pail
  • Quantity required (number of containers)
  • Confirm compatibility with your specific paint system
  • Request Safety Data Sheet (SDS) if required
