What are the hazards of paint thinner to people, and what are the paint thinners

Paint thinners contain toluene and xylene, which can adversely affect the body's hematopoietic system. Long-term exposure to paint thinners can cause leukopenia and thrombocytopenia (which kills white blood cells), which may lead to aplastic anemia, also known as leukemia. In severe cases, it may also affect the nervous system, causing neurological disorders.

At present, the amount of pure benzene contained in the environmental protection paint thinner has begun to slowly decrease, and most of them are substitutes such as toluene and xylene, and the concentration is lower than the national standard. If it is not for long-term exposure to paint thinners and the workplace is well ventilated, the incidence rate is not high. But if you are exposed to paint in a closed environment for a long time, of course, it is not good.

Diluent is a liquid substance that is well miscible with resin added in order to reduce the viscosity of resin and improve its process performance. There are reactive and inactive diluents, respectively. Thermosetting resins in paints and coatings need to be added with diluents to reduce its viscosity and facilitate further processing, and these diluents are actually organic solvents that are cheaper than resins, so they also play a role in reducing processing costs.

The unique degreasing function of paint thinner. To remove the oil stain before painting, you can soak the machined parts in the solution to clean the oil stain and increase the adhesion force.

Paint thinner contains a large number of harmful substances, such as formaldehyde, which is very harmful to the body.

There are three common ones:1. Nitro acid diluent, nitro acid diluent is a more common diluent product, it is prepared by esters, alcohols and other organic solvents, this kind of product has good solubility, can be integrated into paint in a short time, can be used to dilute nitro varnish, magnetic paint, primer, the use effect is ideal.

2. Peroxide paint thinner, peroxyethylene paint thinner is prepared from acetate, acetone, benzene and other organic solvents, usually used to dilute perchloroethylene varnish and magnetic paint. However, the diluent of peroxide paint volatilizes quickly, and the construction should be rapid when diluted with perchloride.

3. Amino paint thinner, amino paint thinner is prepared from xylene, butanol and other organic solvents, used to dilute amino paint products, such as amino baking paint, amino hammer paint, etc., this kind of diluent has good high temperature resistance and can be used normally at high temperatures.

X-1 nitro paint thinner: It can be used for dilution of nitro varnish, magnetic paint and primer, and has good solubility. X-2 Nitro Paint Thinner:

It can be used as a thinner for nitro paint and primer with low requirements, or used to wash nitro paint construction tools and supplies, etc., with slightly poor solubility performance. X-3 perchloroethylene paint thinner: has good dilution ability and appropriate volatilization.

1. As the name suggests, paint thinner is used to dilute paint.

2. You may ask, why do paints need thinner? There are two main reasons for this: First, paint thinner can reduce the viscosity of the resin and paint, thereby improving the effect of the paint after application.

3. Second, the paint thinner has the function of removing grease and stains, which indirectly increases the binding force.
