Novol N65511 Classic Thinner – Acrylic & Polyurethane Thinner, 1.0 Litre
The Novol N65511 Classic Thinner is a premium, multi-purpose solvent blend designed to optimize the application of 2K acrylic and polyurethane products. This 1.0-litre unit is the "standard speed" version of Novol's thinning range, engineered to provide the perfect balance between liquid flow and evaporation time at room temperature.
Whether you are thinning Novakryl clearcoats, Protect primers, or Polycoat finishes, the N65511 ensures that your paint atomizes correctly through the spray gun, resulting in a flat, high-gloss finish with minimal "orange peel."
Key Features & Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: Specifically formulated for use across the entire Novol Classic and Professional lines, including primers, fillers, basecoats, and clearcoats.
- Optimal Viscosity Control: Allows the technician to "fine-tune" the thickness of the paint to match specific spray gun nozzle sizes (e.g., 1.3mm for clearcoat vs. 1.8mm for filler).
- Superior Flow & Leveling: Improves the "wetting" of the surface, allowing the paint film to lay flat and smooth before the curing process begins.
- High Purity Formula: Unlike "recycled" or "standard" thinners, N65511 contains no impurities that could cause cloudiness, "blushing," or loss of gloss in the final finish.
- Controlled Evaporation: Designed for use at standard workshop temperatures (18°C – 25°C), preventing the paint from drying too quickly (which causes dry spray) or too slowly (which causes runs).
- Clear & Transparent: Will not tint or alter the color of metallic or pearlescent basecoats.
Application & Mixing Pro Tips
- Follow the Ratio: Always refer to the technical data sheet (TDS) of the product you are thinning. Typically, addition ranges from 5% to 20% of the total volume.
- Use the Right Tool: For the most accurate results, use the Novol N39699 Measuring Stick, which features dedicated percentage markers at the top of the scale for adding thinner.
- Temperature Adjustments: If you are spraying in a very hot booth (above 28°C), you may need a "Slow" thinner. In standard garage conditions, the N65511 Classic is the ideal all-rounder.
- Cleaning: While this is a high-grade application thinner, it can also be used for the final rinse of spray guns to ensure no resin residue remains in the needle or nozzle.
Why Is the N65511 Essential?
Using "standard" cellulose thinner in a 2K acrylic system is a common mistake that leads to catastrophic failures like paint lifting, "fry-up," or a dull, chalky finish. The Novol N65511 uses high-grade solvents that are chemically compatible with modern resins, ensuring that the durability and UV resistance of your topcoat are never compromised.
