Badger cumene technology produces cumene from benzene and propylene. The reactions take place in the liquid phase and are catalyzed in fixed beds by proprietary zeolite catalysts available through ExxonMobil.
Paint thinner is a solvent used to reduce thickness of oil-based paints or clean up after their use. They can also be used to remove tar buildup and other compounds. Commercially, solvents labeled paint thinner are usually mineral spirits with a flash point at about 104Â°F (40Â°C).
They will also thin oil-based materials, such as paints and varnishes. There are several advantages of using mineral spirits over traditional paint thinner, though the differences are fairly subtle. Paint thinner is mineral spirits, in a less refined form and contains other types of solvents.
