Duratec Reducer

Duratec Reducer – Urethane-Grade Solvent for Duratec Primers & Topcoats

Duratec® Reducer is a specialized urethane-grade solvent engineered for seamless integration with Duratec primers, topcoats, and specialty coatings. Formulated to match the original solvent composition of Duratec products, this reducer improves flow, leveling, and application control without altering coating properties or performance. Use it to fine-tune viscosity, eliminate defects such as orange peel and porosity, and achieve professional, high-gloss finishes on composite parts and molds.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized compatibility: specifically designed to work with all Duratec coatings and primers, maintaining full performance and film integrity.
• Enhanced flow & leveling: reduces viscosity for smoother, more uniform spray and roller applications.
• Reduced imperfections: helps eliminate common defects like orange peel, pinholes, and surface porosity.
• Efficient application: lowers required air pressure and promotes a controlled, smooth spray pattern.
• Fast evaporation: flashes off quickly to support efficient project completion without extending cure time.
• No HAPS: formulated without Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS) for a safer, more comfortable working environment.
• Dry-spray prevention: reduces the occurrence of dry spray, delivering a consistently smooth, professional finish.
• Compatible with Duratec Sunshield: excellent as an ideal thinning agent for Duratec High Viscosity Sunshield when needed.

Typical Uses

• Thinning Duratec vinyl ester primers and polyester topcoats for improved atomization.
• Adjusting spray viscosity for Duratec High Viscosity Sunshield and other Duratec clear coats.
• Improving flow and leveling on complex composite parts, plugs, and molds.
• Reducing orange peel and porosity prior to sanding and polishing.

Available in Quart and 1 Gallon sizes, Duratec Reducer is an indispensable tool for shops that demand consistent, professional-grade results from Duratec products. Always follow the coating manufacturer’s Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and safety guidelines when mixing and applying.
