Plus, the raw materials used to make (like toluene, acetone, naphtha, glycol ethers, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.) and their toxicity may also differ significantly.

Electrostatic thinners helps to get a better wrap round effect on the substrate of paint coverage( a key benefit of electrostatic systems being the reduction in paint usage) but the negative is that it extends the drying time of the paint. Thus, you need to be cautious that the paint thinner you are using isn’t very volatile and should always be placed away from nearby fire sources.With over 20 years in the paint industry Breakwells are key suppliers to four main markets, Narrowboat, Industrial, Automotive and Heritage.
