Built for the job.
Plastic Thinner “Honey” is a polyester resin formulated to thin and revitalize body fillers, restoring spreadability and flexibility in just minutes. Eliminates waste.
USC® 40010 Plastic Thinner is a 16‑oz amber‑brown liquid formulated for thinning and cleaning plastic and polyester substrates in automotive body and collision repair. It is intended for use where rapid solvent action and high evaporation rates are required, such as preparing bonded surfaces or removing excess resin.
With an average VOC content of 9.5 lb/gal and a recommended application temperature of 220 °F, the thinner provides consistent flow and fast flash time. The estimated flash point of 93.9 °F (34.4 °C) allows quick drying without excessive heat buildup, facilitating efficient rework cycles. Its compatibility with both plastic and polyester systems ensures reliable performance across a range of repair applications.
Because the product is classified with a “Warning” signal word and includes acute toxicity, aspiration, carcinogen, flammable, and organ‑toxicity hazards, appropriate personal protective equipment—eye protection, chemical‑resistant gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator—must be worn. Use in a well‑ventilated area and follow the first‑aid guidelines for inhalation and eye exposure.
