2. Turpentine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turpentine

   As a solvent, turpentine is used for thinning oil-based paints, for producing varnishes, and as a raw material for the chemical industry. Its use as a solvent in industrialized nations has largely been replaced by the much cheaper turpentine substitutes obtained from petroleum such as white spirit.

3. Lacquer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacquer

   While water-based lacquer's fumes are considerably less hazardous, and it does not have the combustibility issues of solvent-based lacquers, the product still dries fairly quickly. Even though its odor is weaker, water-based lacquers can still produce airborne particulates that can get into the lungs, so proper protective wear still needs to be ...

4. Release agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_agent

   Water-based release agents will be less expensive to ship because of their inherently non-flammable nature and satisfy most plant-safety goals. Solvent-based release coatings dry almost instantly but present serious health and safety concerns. Fumes from solvent-based release agents may be hazardous without proper ventilation of the work area.

5. Conservation and restoration of paintings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

   There are two types of acrylic paints used in acrylic paintings. There is solvent-based and water-based. Solvent-based acrylic paints are soluble in mineral spirits, and water-based acrylic paints are water-soluble. Acrylic paint differs from oil paint in both its quick drying time, and how the paint dries.

6. Permanent marker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_marker

   Most markers have alcohol-based solvents. Other types, called paint markers, contain volatile organic compounds which evaporate to dry the ink, and are similar to spray paint . Due to solvents such as toluene and xylene often being present in permanent markers, they have a potential for abuse as a recreational drug .

7. Propylene carbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_carbonate

   Propylene carbonate is used as a polar, aprotic solvent. [7] It has a high molecular dipole moment (4.9 D), considerably higher than those of acetone (2.91 D) and ethyl acetate (1.78 D). [1] It is possible, for example, to obtain potassium, sodium, and other alkali metals by electrolysis of their chlorides and other salts dissolved in propylene ...
