Thinner is a hydrocarbon (naphtha) or oleoresinous solvent (turpentine) used to reduce the viscosity of paints to appropriate working consistency usually just prior to application. In this sense, a thinner is a liquid diluent to except that it has active solvent power on the dissolved resin.

“Thinners” as the name implies, are added to varnishes and lacquers to thin them out usually to brushing consistency. White spirit is the commonest liquid used for this purpose. A thinner differs from a diluent in that it has solvent action on the dispersed resin or other solid and will not as a role cause precipitation.

Diluents & Thinners:-

Solutions of resins, nitrocellulose, are often diluted in order to adjust their flow, rate of evaporation, cost or other property, with a liquid which is without solvent action on the dispersed solids. A good example is toluene when added for this purpose to a nitrocellulose lacquer. Such a liquid is termed simply a diluent. With the gradual addition of a diluent to a lacquer a point is reached at which the dispersed solid is precipitates out. The amount of diluent which can be tolerated before precipitation commences depends on number of factors the solvent power or the solvent, nature of the diluent and concentration of solids, tempt. etc.

Thinner:-

Hazard:- Flammable, dangerous fire risk

Shipping regulations:- (ICC, CA, IATA) Red label.

One basic criteria of a food thinner is that when a finger is dipped into the thinner and taken out, the thinner immediately evaporates leaning a white crust on the finger and a cool sensation is felt (as in the case of ICI thinner) and ICI is manufacturing, N-C thinners exclusively.

In the thinner formulations, acetone is in corporate for cooling sensation.

Besides, Diacetone is mostly used in thinner formulations, for shining purposes in paint and thinner industry.

Solvents or Thinners are used in Paints and lacquers to reduce the viscosity and consistency of the material and facilitate the application of a uniform coating.  They must be compatible with the oil or resin present. After application the solvent is no longer required and should evaporate completely from the film.

Another class of organic liquids used in paint industry is plasticizers their function is to remain permanently in the film of paint or varnish  after  application in order to impart elasticity and proper adhesion to it. In contradistinction to the volatile solvents, plasticizers should be perfectly non-volatile, and should also be chemically stable, and not after in properties on prolonged exposure.
