Are paint thinners corrosive to concrete?

Question

Are paint thinners corrosive to concrete?

Answer 1

Not really -- only to the extent that thinner penetrates slightly below the surface and to the extent that the silicate, aluminate, and ferrite molecules dissolve into the solvent (which is a very low amount).  This may slightly weaken the surface strength, but nothing more.

It's not like the thinner 'attacks' the cement bonds.

Once the concrete is cured - no.

If they got into the mix, they might interfere with the cure.

Answer 3

no
