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).
Paint thinners and mineral spirits can be used in practically the same things but paint thinners are a tad more specific on the things that they can be used on. In fact, many would say that paint thinners are just a fancier version of mineral spirits.
