Thinner & Cleaning Agents

Thinner & Cleaning Agents - Buy Sheenlac & Asian Paints Thinner, NC & PU Thinner Online

Thinners and cleaning agents are the essential companions to paint - used to thin paints and coatings to the right consistency, to clean brushes, rollers and equipment, and to prepare and clean surfaces. The right thinner for the paint type makes application smooth and cleanup easy; the wrong one ruins the finish or fails to clean. At Fixxly, our thinner and cleaning agents range covers Sheenlac and Asian Paints - general paint thinner, NC thinner, PU thinner, enamel thinner, and thinners for cleaning and paint removal. This guide explains the types of thinner, which to use with which paint, and how to use them safely.

What are thinners and cleaning agents used for?

A thinner is a solvent used to reduce the viscosity of paints, enamels and coatings so they flow and apply correctly, and to clean up paint from brushes, rollers, equipment and surfaces afterwards. Fixxly stocks Sheenlac and Asian Paints thinners matched to their own paint chemistries and to general use.

Types of thinner and which paint they suit

NC thinner

NC (nitrocellulose) thinner is used with NC-based paints and lacquers, thinning them to the right consistency for a smooth application.

PU thinner

PU (polyurethane) thinner is formulated for polyurethane coatings, and Sheenlac's PU thinner is matched to the demanding chemistry of PU finishes often used for durability.

General paint thinner and cleaning agents

Asian Paints general paint thinner and cleaning agents serve broader thinning, equipment cleaning, surface preparation and paint-removal needs.

Matching the thinner to the paint

The single most important rule with thinners is to match the thinner to the paint or coating. Using a Sheenlac or Asian Paints thinner matched to your specific paint ensures the paint is thinned to the right consistency for a smooth finish and that equipment is cleaned effectively.

Using thinners safely

Thinners and solvents are effective but must be handled with care, because they are flammable and give off strong fumes. Always use thinners in a well-ventilated area, keep them away from heat, flames and sparks, and store them in their proper sealed containers, away from children and heat.
