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).
Depends on what the store is selling as paint thinner. Mineral spirits is a petro based product typically used for thinning oil based paints. Naphtha, Mineral Spirits, Acetone, Xylene, Turpentine, Toulene and MEK are all paint thinners. I have almost never seen a product labeled Paint thinner that was not petroleum-based mineral spirits.
