Lacquer thinner is specifically formulated to thin lacquer-based paints and coatings, allowing for easier application and improved flow.
It can be used to thin lacquer-based paints to the desired consistency for brushing, rolling, or spraying.
Lacquer thinner is also commonly used for cleaning tools and equipment after painting. It effectively removes dried paint, varnish, and other residues from brushes, rollers, spray guns, and other painting tools.
Lacquer thinner evaporates quickly, allowing for rapid drying of thinned paint and cleaning solvents from surfaces and tools.
In addition to thinning lacquer-based paints, lacquer thinner can also be used for cleaning metal surfaces prior to painting, degreasing surfaces, and removing certain types of adhesives and coatings.
