👉 Paint fluid, also known as paint thinner or solvent, is a crucial component in the painting process, serving to dissolve and thin out paints to make them more manageable for application. It typically consists of a mixture of solvents, usually alcohol-based like ethanol or isopropanol, and sometimes water or other additives. The solvent reduces the paint's viscosity, allowing it to flow smoothly and evenly, while also evaporating quickly to leave a thin, even film on surfaces. This fluidity is essential for achieving a smooth finish and ensuring that the paint adheres properly to the substrate. The right balance of solvent and paint ensures optimal performance, whether for interior or exterior painting applications.
