4012 - Our standard dilutant for Createx Colors paints.
- Water-based paint material containing 2-Butoxy Ethanol.
- Medium temperature: best used 60 – 80⁰ F (16 – 27⁰ C).
- Generally added 5 – 10% per volume
4011 is the standard reducer for all Createx paints & clears.
4011 Reducer is generally added 5 – 10% per volume.
Add 4011 to paint in increments of 5% per volume, only adding more reducer when needed to achieve flow and fine atomization.
4011 Reducer may be added to paint in greater amounts up to 20% per volume, such as when painting at low psi settings (and with small tip-sized airbrushes, such as the Iwata™ Micron’s 0.18mm tip.
For optimized performance, after adding 4011 Reducer, allow 10 or more minutes before spraying to allow 4011 Reducer to acclimate with the paint.
4011 Reducer breaks down the water’s surface tension which promotes flow and leveling. This is especially beneficial when painting with a spray-gun.
4011 Reducer does not contain resin. Avoid over-reducing paint. Often, Createx paints spray well when 4011 Reducer is added at low amounts of 5% per volume.
