Novol 32141 Thin 870 - Basecoat Thinner (500ml)
Perfect for smaller spray jobs or custom color mixing, Novol Thin 870 is the high-purity solvent specifically engineered for solvent-borne basecoats. This 500ml unit provides the precise chemical environment needed for metallic, pearl, and solid base colors to flow correctly and dry with perfect pigment orientation.
Unlike generic thinners, Thin 870 ensures that the aluminum flakes in metallic paints stay "locked" in the correct position, preventing "clouding" or "mottling" in the finished paintwork.
Key Features & Benefits
- Metallic & Pearl Stabilization: Specifically formulated to help metallic flakes lay flat and uniform, ensuring a consistent "flip" and color match across the panel.
- Standard Evaporation Speed: Optimized for use in standard workshop temperatures (18°C – 25°C), providing a balanced "open time" for the paint to level out before drying.
- Zero Impurities: Being a virgin solvent (not recycled), it eliminates the risk of "fish-eyes," "blooming," or unexpected chemical reactions with the basecoat resins.
- Seamless Flow: Reduces the viscosity of the basecoat to a water-like consistency, allowing it to pass through fine spray gun nozzles without spitting or clogging.
- Excellent Leveling: Helps the basecoat form a thin, smooth film that provides the perfect foundation for the subsequent clearcoat layers.
