Description
The 434 Acetone is a super-fast drying, VOC-exempt, and zero residue solvent.
It is very useful for 3D printing because it can be used to improve adherence of the ABS plastic to the
printing bed. The acetone vapors can also be used to smooth the surface of finished 3D printed pieces.
It can be used as a diluent to meet VOC regulations or to clean hard to clean organic residues.
This fast drying time of the 434 makes is a good choice for spray application that require low VOC and
quicker drying times.

Compatibility
Substrate Compatibility: Active on plastics. Its etching action can remove the need for surface
preparation steps for plastics. The high solvent power can also cut through residual contaminants.
ATTENTION ! Use with care on thin plastics or parts that are chemically sensitive. If this diluents is too
active, dilute or substitute it with a diluents with less solvent power.
Solvent Miscibility: The 434 is highly miscible with other common organic solvent. It can be mixed with
Water
Alcohols
Aldehydes
Aromatic and Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
Ethers
Glycols
Glycol Ethers
Ketones
Environmental Impact: The 435 has is a VOC-exempt solvent in the USA and Canada. It is RoHS
compliant.
Thinning Instructions
Make necessary adjustments according to your paint and spray gun equipment usage instructions.
A 1.0 (paint):1.0 (thinner) dilution is a common starting point. If sagging is observed, reduce the thinner
ratio.
ATTENTION ! It is preferable to use this thinner system in a temperature controlled environment. Avoid
high temperatures or humidity, which can lead to dry spray and blushing respectively.
