Duratec Reducer was specifically designed to thin and adapt to Duratec
products without altering its original properties. This product is a blend of
solvents formulated to enhance the flow and leveling of Duratec primers
and top coats.

products requiring
thinning prior to use.
Can be used as a
reducer for most
standard Vinyl Ester or
Polyester Products.
Also works as a solvent
for easy cleanup.
FE A TU R E S
EFFICIENCY
Small additions of Duratec
Reducer quickly cut the viscosity
of Duratec primers and topcoats.
REDUCED ORANGE PEEL
Enhances flow and leveling
properties of Duratec primers and
hi-gloss coatings, resulting in
reduced porosity and orange
peel.
PERFECT MATCH
Matches the original solvent cut,
assuring complete compatibility.
FAST EVAPORATION
Does not extend the cure time of
the sprayed-out Duratec.
IMPROVES LEVELING
Will not create the rough surface
associated with dry spray.

Use Instructions
Duratec products are manufactured to be used as is, directly out of the can. The right step may
be adjusting your spray equipment tip size, rather than reducing the material.
However there are times reducing is necessary. In those situations we advocate reducing as
little as possible, starting with one ounce per quart.
(1) Thoroughly mix the Duratec product you plan to use. Most Duratec products require a
thorough mix for the product to be consistent. A paint shaker or drill mixer is best.
(2) If the viscosity of the Duratec is too high for spraying, add one ounce of Duratec Reducer per
quart. Mix and evaluate the viscosity. Usually no more than three ounces of Duratec Reducer are
necessary per quart.
(3) Catalyze and spray the Duratec once the desired result viscosity is achieved. For specific catalyst
information, please consult the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) of the Duratec product you are using.
FYI: Duratec Reducer 39UCE was formerly known as Duratec Thinner 39LAC-3. If you have material
labeled as 39LAC-3 on hand the material is outdated and should be replaced with new product.
