Cellulose thinners ban

Cellulose thinners are not aromatic solvents they tend to be based on methyl ethyl ketone/ butyl acetate Paint thinners like white spirit are can contain aromatic solvents. There are rumblings afoot but I think the manufacturers are already ahead of the game so I guess there will be few practical problems

Most sold in the UK are, but I have seen solvent mixtures labeled as "cellulose thinners" with 50% toluene.

I suspect all that will happen is for toluene based thinners to be replaced with ethyl acetate/butyl acetate thinners.

Which is which.

One of them raises a bloom on car paint and is intended for cleaning the gun and for spraying parts not on show and other stuff.

Actually there are numerous varieties of paints all requiring their own special mixtures, depending on the environment the finished product will be used in.

Ah. Exposed knowledge gap:-)

So what types of paint will be available post 2007? Are these likely to be water based?

Mains gas can be made available for his space heating but current practice is to operate at ambient with local heating for gluing or drying paint. Cost is an issue:-(

Mate of mine in the automotive paint business told me most body bashers have already changed over to water based paints.
