What is Epoxy Thinner and Diluent OP10?
Epoxy Thinner and Diluent OP10 is a special product designed to reduce the viscosity of epoxy resins, making their application easier and more efficient. This solvent is suitable for use in spray guns and sprayers, enabling the resin to spread smoothly on surfaces. Additionally, OP10 prevents the formation of cracks or bubbles in the epoxy layers, resulting in a uniform and smooth surface. By using this product, the drying time of the resin is controlled, improving the final outcome. For optimal performance, OP10 should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
How to Use Epoxy Thinner and Diluent OP10?
To use Epoxy Thinner and Diluent OP10, follow these steps:
- Preparation of Materials: First, measure the required amount of epoxy resin. Then, add the OP10 thinner to the resin.
- Amount of Thinner: Typically, to dilute the epoxy resin, add OP10 thinner at a ratio of 5 to 10 percent by weight of the epoxy resin. However, this amount may vary depending on the type of application and the viscosity of the resin.
- Mixing: Mix the thinner and resin thoroughly to achieve a uniform mixture. Ensure that the mixture is smooth and free of bubbles.
- Application of Epoxy: After dilution, apply the epoxy resin using the desired tool (such as a spray gun, sprayer, or brush) on the surface.
- Environmental Conditions: While using the thinner and resin, make sure to consider the ambient temperature and humidity for the best result.
It is important to follow the instructions provided by Mandana Polymer to achieve the desired results.
