Description

SHARKTHANE
QUICK DRY REDUCER

Precision-formulated reducer engineered specifically for the SharkThane Quick Dry 4-Hour Cure System.

4-Hour Cure Optimized
Controlled Flash & Flow
Chemistry-Matched Reducer

Why SharkThane Quick Dry Reducer Exists

The SharkThane Quick Dry system is engineered around a controlled 4-hour cure window. This reducer is formulated specifically to support that chemistry — balancing flash time, flow, and crosslinking without disrupting cure speed or film integrity.

What It Does

  • Maintains the 4-hour cure profile of SharkThane Quick Dry
  • Provides smooth atomization without stalling flash
  • Enhances flow and leveling while preserving hardness
  • Reduces dry spray and texture without over-softening the film

Why Acetone Is NOT Used

Acetone is not recommended for the SharkThane Quick Dry system. Its evaporation rate and solvency profile can interfere with the controlled flash and cure balance required for a true 4-hour turnaround.

This reducer is built to work with the chemistry — not fight it.
Alternate Solvents vs. Purpose-Built Reducer
Some solvents will thin — but not all reducers tune the system.
  • Toluene — workable, but less refined flash control
  • Xylene — usable, but slower response and broader evaporation curve
  • MEK — strong solvency, but less forgiving and harder to fine-tune
Important: While these solvents can reduce viscosity, they are not formulated to preserve the optimized flash, flow, and cure timing of SharkThane Quick Dry. The result may spray — but it won’t be as controlled.

Professional Reduction Guidance

  1. Reduction depends on temperature, humidity, airflow, and equipment.
  2. Start conservative and adjust based on atomization and flash response.
  3. Do not chase spray-ability at the expense of cure integrity.
  4. If heavy reduction is required, evaluate spray equipment power first.

Fast Cure Demands Precise Reduction

SharkThane Quick Dry Reducer is engineered to support the 4-hour cure — not compromise it. Use the reducer designed for the system to get speed, control, and durability in one pass.
