Lacquer Thinner 3416

Our standard line thinner is designed primarily for cleanup applications.

Lacquer thinner is a powerful aliphatic solvent blend widely used in industrial manufacturing, coatings, adhesives, and cleaning applications. Known for its strong solvency and fast evaporation rate, it effectively dissolves oils, greases, resins, and organic compounds, making it a key ingredient in paints, varnishes, and specialty coatings. Its versatility and ability to improve flow and finish quality make it a preferred choice in wood finishing, automotive refinishing, and industrial coatings.

Beyond coatings, lacquer thinner serves as a reliable cleaning agent and processing aid, used to remove paints, adhesives, and contaminants from tools, surfaces, and equipment. It also plays a role in adhesive formulation, degreasing operations, and maintenance processes, where efficiency and consistency are critical. With its strong solvency power, controlled volatility, and multi-industry applications, lacquer thinner remains an essential solvent for manufacturing, refinishing, and specialty chemical production.
