National Paints Paints NC Thinner 18L, Solvent Used for Nitrocellulose Coatings

This thinner is designed to enhance the flow and levelling of paints, providing a better finish. It is fast-drying and compatible with various surfaces, making it versatile for different applications.

The recommended thinning ratio is typically 15-20% by volume, depending on the method of application. Adjustments may be necessary based on specific project requirements.

It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. The container must remain sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation.

Users should wear appropriate protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and masks to avoid skin and eye contact. It is crucial to work in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation of vapours.

While it is specifically formulated for nitrocellulose-based products, it may not be suitable for all paint types. Always check compatibility with the specific paint before use.

The shelf life is generally 18 months when stored in original sealed containers under proper conditions. Always check the expiration date before use.

In case of spillage on skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If it comes into contact with eyes, flush immediately with fresh water and seek medical attention if necessary.

National Paints NC Thinner is a solvent-based thinner designed for thinning and cleaning National Paints coatings. It helps achieve the right coating viscosity for easier brushing and faster project completion, and it also serves as a cleaner for brushes and equipment after painting.

NC Thinner is suitable for thinning most enamels, urethanes, and other coatings. It’s designed to work with both oil- and water-based coatings and can be used for interior or exterior applications depending on the coating you choose to thin.

Yes. NC Thinner is versatile and can be used to thin primers, paints, removers, and other compatible coatings. Always follow the coating manufacturer’s recommended thinning guidance and test for viscosity before full application.

Absolutely. NC Thinner is effective for cleaning brushes, equipment, and tools after painting. Rinse tools with a small amount of thinner, work out any paint, and wipe clean or rinse with fresh thinner as needed.

Key benefits include strong solvent performance, multi-purpose compatibility with enamels and urethanes, quick drying to speed up projects, ease of use when brushing, and a pleasant odor relative to some harsher solvents.

Start by adding a small amount of thinner to the coating and mix thoroughly. Increase gradually if needed, following the coating’s recommended thinning ratio. Always test viscosity on a small sample or use a viscosity cup to ensure you achieve the desired flow and leveling.

To clean up, wipe off excess thinner from tools, then rinse with a small amount of NC Thinner or another appropriate cleaning solvent. Ensure tools are clean and free of residue before storing.
