ALUMINIUM Marine Thinners

Adheseal's Marine Thinners are specifically formulated to provide effective dilution for a wide range of marine paints, coatings, and varnishes. Designed to ensure optimal viscosity for spraying, brushing, or rolling, our marine thinners enhance the flow and leveling properties of coatings, resulting in a smooth, professional finish. These thinners are essential for achieving consistent application and maintaining the integrity of marine coatings in harsh marine environments. They also serve as effective cleaning agents for tools and equipment, ensuring longevity and performance. Adheseal's Marine Thinners are formulated to meet the demanding requirements of marine professionals, providing reliable performance and consistent results.

Trade Professional Information

• Required Tools: Mixing containers, mixing sticks, measuring cups, spray equipment (if applicable), brushes, rollers, safety glasses, gloves, respirators.
• Trade-Specific Tips: Add thinner gradually to the paint or coating while mixing to achieve the desired viscosity. Follow the paint manufacturer's recommendations for dilution ratios. Ensure proper ventilation during mixing and application. Use appropriate safety equipment, including respirators, when working with thinners. Clean tools immediately after use to prevent coating buildup. Store thinners in sealed containers away from heat and ignition sources.
• Common Issues and Solutions:
  • Issue: Incorrect viscosity leading to poor application. Solution: Add thinner gradually and mix thoroughly. Use a viscosity cup to measure and adjust the viscosity as needed.
  • Issue: Incompatibility with the coating. Solution: Use the correct thinner for the specific marine paint or coating. Check the manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Issue: Solvent evaporation during application. Solution: Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid applying coatings in direct sunlight or high temperatures.
