Sherwin-Williams Thinner EG C165 KA

THINNER EG C165 KA is a specially formulated solvent blend from Sherwin-Williams, designed for professional use within their high-performance coating systems. Its primary functions are to dilute compatible paint coating materials to achieve the correct viscosity for application conditions and to effectively clean tools, spray equipment, and other machinery used during the painting process.

Using the correct, manufacturer-recommended thinner like EG C165 KA is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance characteristics of advanced coatings such as two-component polyurethanes (like Acrolon EG5) and epoxies. It helps ensure proper flow, leveling, and curing of the paint film. Always refer to the Product Data Sheet (PDS) of the specific Sherwin-Williams paint product being used to confirm that THINNER EG C165 KA is the recommended thinner and to find appropriate dilution ratios.
