Lesonal Thinners and Additives

Discover Lesonal's paint thinners and bodywork additives:

Fast Thinner:

Function : Fast Thinner is used to adjust the viscosity of the paint, allowing easier application and better adhesion.

Drying speed: It can help speed up the drying time of the paint, which can be advantageous in conditions where rapid drying is required.

Applications : Often used for applications requiring a fast response, such as touch-ups or Spot-repairs.

WB Activator (WaterBase Activator):

Specificity : WB Activator is designed for use with water-based (WaterBase) paints, underlining a move towards environmentally friendly paint systems with low volatile organic compound (VOC) content.

Reaction : It reacts chemically with water-based paint to promote curing and ensure a durable finish.

Applications : Suitable for environments where the use of water-based paints is preferred, offering equivalent performance to conventional solvent-based systems.

Thinner Paint Reducer clear 420 :

Use : Reducer clear 420 is a thinner specifically formulated for use with clearcoats or clear lacquers.

Characteristics : It can help maintain the clarity and transparency of Clearcoat while adjusting its viscosity.

Applications : Mainly used in the varnishing process to obtain a smooth, transparent finish.

Important technical advice :

Accurate dosage: It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's specific recommendations for the dosage of these products, as incorrect Mixing ratios can affect the quality of the paint.

Compatibility: Make sure the products you use are compatible with the type of paint you're using, especially if it's water- or solvent-based.

Steps for using Lesonal Thinner :

Using Thinner Paint depends on the type of paint you're using and the specific needs of your project. However, here is a general guide on how to use Thinner Paint in an automotive or bodywork application:

Surface preparation:

Make sure the surface to be painted is clean, dry and free of contaminants. Good pre-treatment ensures optimum paint adhesion.

Choice of Paint Thinner :

Select the right Thinner for the type of Paint you are using. Some Thinners are specific to certain paint formulations.

Mixing and preparing Thinner :

Carefully measure the quantity of paint you wish to use and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the Mixing ratio with the Thinner. Mix the two components thoroughly.

Spray gun application:

Use a spray gun to apply the diluted paint. Adjust the gun according to the type of paint and the characteristics of the project.

Check viscosity:

If necessary, adjust the viscosity by gradually adding Thinner until the desired consistency is achieved. Correct viscosity control ensures even application.

Application in layers:

Apply the thinned Paint in successive coats, observing the recommended drying times between coats.

Final drying:

Allow the paint to dry completely. Drying time depends on the type of paint and environmental conditions.

Cleaning equipment :

After use, thoroughly clean the spray equipment, including the spray gun, with the appropriate Thinner.
