Nitrocellulose Thinner
Nitrocellulose Thinner is a specially formulated solvent blend used primarily for dissolving and reducing the viscosity of nitrocellulose-based paints, lacquers, coatings and inks. It provides good solvency, evaporation characteristics and application performance, making it suitable for industrial coating and printing applications.
Nitrocellulose, a mixture of nitric esters of cellulose, and a highly flammable compound that is the main ingredient of modern gunpowder and is also employed in certain lacquers and paints

Why is it called "Hot" Thinner?
“Hot” does not necessarily mean that the thinner is supplied hot. In solvent terminology, a hot solvent generally means a solvent or solvent blend with strong solvency/power toward a particular resin or coating system.
A hot thinner can therefore dissolve or reduce the viscosity of certain resins more aggressively than a mild thinner.
Important
The exact composition of Hot Thinner is not universal. Commercial formulations may contain combinations of solvents such as ketones, esters, aromatic hydrocarbons and other organic solvents, depending on the paint/resin system.
Therefore, if you are planning to make RXSOL Hot Thinner, the exact formulation should be based on the intended application—for example NC paint thinner, PU thinner, epoxy thinner, automotive paint thinner, or general industrial thinner. The flash point, evaporation rate, VOC content and resin compatibility will depend on the formulation.
Normally paint thinner is used to remove oil-based paint from brushes, rollers, equipment and surfaces. However, there are many other applications and uses for paint thinner saving you money and time.
A paint thinner can also be used to 'thin' or reduce the viscosity of paint so it can be used in sprayer applicators. Another important use that most people are not aware of, is that paint thinner can be used to prevent paint from hardening when it has been left open. Paint thinners should not be used with latex paints, shellac or lacquers.
A paint thinner can be used to clean your equipment and tools once you have finished your job, especially when you have been using oil-based paint.
FIRSTAID &STORAGE :- Contact with skin can cause serous chemicals burns .Avoid contact with skin & eyes.Wear PVC gloves while handling.
Do not take internally. Splashes of the product or its solutions on the skin or clothing should washed immediately with cupious amount of water . If the eyes are affected should be washed with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medicals attention sought immediately. Keep drums tightly closed when not in use.

| AFTER INHALATION: | Remove victim from the exposure. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Supply fresh air. Prevent aspiration of vomit, turn victim’s head to side. Seek medical advice. |
| AFTER SKIN CONTACT: | Remove all contaminated clothing and wash before use. Flush affected area with water for at least 15 minutes. Wash contaminated skin with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Do not use ointments or greases. Destroy contaminated leather apparel. Seek medical advice. |

EXTINGUISHING AGENTS:
Use fire fighting measures that suit the environment. Ignition will give rise to a Class B fire. In case of fire, suitable extinguishing agents are: water spray, alcohol resistant foam for large scale fires, for small fires, dry chemicals or fire-extinguishing powder, and carbon dioxide (CO2).
FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Keep people away. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Fight fire remotely. Use water to cool fire exposed container and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of re-ignition has passed. Move container from fire area if possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance.
Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage.
SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING IN FIRE:
Caution! Highly flammable liquid or vapor. May generate toxic or irritating combustion products. Contact of liquid with skin should be prevented. Sudden reaction and fire may result if mixed with an oxidizing agent. May generate carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and ammonia gas. Personnel in vicinity downwind should be evacuated.
ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS:
Wear protective gloves, eye and face protection. As with any fire, wear self- contained breathing apparatus pressure demand (MHSA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. If protective equipment is not available not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.
| PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS | Caution! Highly flammable liquid or vapor; wear fire resistant or retardant clothing during clean up. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe fumes or vapors if inhalable fumes or vapors may occur during use. |
