CrystaLac Viscosity Reducer - 1 Quart

CrystaLac Viscosity Reducer - 1 Quart

CrystaLac Viscosity Reducer / Retarder is a versatile additive designed to improve the application and performance of CrystaLac water-based coatings. It helps reduce coating viscosity while extending working and drying time, making it especially useful when additional flow, leveling, and spray atomization are desired.

Improve Flow and Leveling

Adding CrystaLac Viscosity Reducer can help coatings flow out more smoothly for a more even, professional-looking finish. The extended working time gives the coating additional opportunity to level before drying, helping improve application results.

Enhanced Spray Application

When spraying water-based coatings, the reducer can improve atomization and help the finish apply more evenly. This makes it a useful addition when adjusting coating consistency for spray equipment or application conditions.

For CrystaLac Water-Based Coatings

CrystaLac Viscosity Reducer / Retarder can be used with CrystaLac paints, stains, and top coats. It can also be used with most water-based coatings, making it a convenient addition to a finishing system when adjustments to viscosity and drying time are needed.

Recommended Mixing Ratio

For CrystaLac products, add approximately 1 ounce of Viscosity Reducer per pint of coating. Slowly stir the reducer into the paint, stain, or top coat until thoroughly incorporated.

Avoid adding excessive amounts. Using more than approximately 1 ounce per pint can significantly extend drying time. Allow additional drying time between coats when using higher amounts of reducer.
