Paint thinners

Paint thinners are chemical solvents used to dissolve oil-based paints, varnishes, and coatings, making them easier to apply or remove. They effectively break down the ingredients in paint, allowing for smoother application or cleaning of brushes and equipment. Common types include mineral spirits and turpentine. Due to their strong chemical composition, they should be handled carefully, used in well-ventilated areas, and kept away from sources of heat or flames. While useful for painting projects, paint thinners can be hazardous if inhaled or ingested, so proper safety precautions are essential.
