Cleaning Thinner

Professional bodywork cleaning Thinners :

In the automotive bodywork industry, cleaning Thinner products are chemical solutions used for a variety of applications, from cleaning surfaces to preparing substrates prior to painting. These products, also known as cleaning Thinners or solvents, play a crucial role in surface preparation, cleaning paint equipment, and other bodywork-related processes. Here are some of the commonly used cleaning thinner products:

Multi-purpose cleaning Thinner :

These Thinners are versatile and can be used to clean a variety of surfaces, from mechanical parts to painted surfaces. They help remove dirt, grease, wax residues and other contaminants.

Paint gun cleaning Thinner :

These products are specially designed to clean Spray gun pistons after paint application. They help remove paint residues, solvents and contaminants, ensuring optimum gun performance.

Thinner for cleaning mechanical parts:

Used in mechanical workshops, these Thinners are designed to clean mechanical parts such as engines, transmissions and metal components. They are formulated to dissolve oils, greases and stubborn deposits.

Thinner for wax and grease removal :

These products are specifically designed to remove wax and grease residues from the bodywork surface, preparing the surface for paint or touch-up.

Thinner for surface preparation :

Some Thinners are formulated to prepare the surface prior to the application of Paint. They can remove contaminants that could compromise paint adhesion.

Thinner for tyre and rubber cleaning :

These products are used to clean and prepare rubber surfaces, including tyres, prior to the application of finishing products such as conditioners or protectants.

Ecological cleaning Thinner :

Some cleaning Thinners are formulated with environmentally friendly ingredients to meet environmental standards while delivering effective cleaning performance.

It is important to note that these products must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, following the appropriate safety protocols. Users should wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles, and cleaning operations should be carried out in well-ventilated areas to minimise exposure to potentially harmful vapours.

The different types of bodywork cleaning Thinner :

The cleaning thinners used in car bodywork can vary depending on the types of paint used (hydro, hydro and solvent-based) and the chemical composition of the thinner. Here are some explanations of the differences between water-based cleaning thinner, water-based and solvent-based cleaning thinner and non-CMR cleaning thinner:

Thinner for hydro-based cleaning (water-based) :

Characteristics : Water-based paints, also known as hydro paints, are increasingly used due to their environmentally-friendly nature. Specific cleaning Thinners for water-based paints are formulated to be compatible with this type of paint.

Composition: These thinners are often water-based and may contain specific Additives to dissolve water-based paint residues.

Use: Used to clean equipment, spray guns and surfaces after applying water-based paints.

Thinner for water-based and solvent-based cleaning :

Characteristics: Some cleaning Thinners are designed to be versatile, suitable for both water-based and solvent-based paints.

Composition: These Thinners may contain a combination of ingredients that make them compatible with both types of paint.

Use: They are used in workshops where different paint technologies are used, providing a cleaning solution for a variety of paints.

Non CMR cleaning Thinner :

Characteristics: CMR substances (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and Reprotoxic) are chemical substances that are harmful to human health. Some cleaning Thinners are formulated to be non-CMR, which means they do not contain compounds that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction.

Composition: These Thinners use less toxic compounds to reduce health risks.

Use: Preferentially chosen in environments where the health and safety of workers is a priority, these non CMR cleaning Thinners are used to minimise health risks.

It is crucial to always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for each type of cleaning Thinner, taking into account compatibility with the paints used and complying with safety and environmental standards. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is also recommended when handling these products.
