Smell is a very subjective matter.

In solvent base paint, most smell is coming from solvent or from resin, and some bad odour can cause irritation to the applicator.

The most frequent method is by added nice fragrance but the fragrance itself has many disadvantages.

Today, there are some other products called odour masking agent that are more efficient and give less disadvantages.

Odour masking agent is low molecular weight chemical compound that do not contain any N atom and aromatic ring.

These are 2 chemical components to achieve the masking effect,
1. Absorbing the odor from the resin and solvent internally
2. Evaporate in the same ration as the solvent to mask away the smell that release together with the solvents.

For odor masking agent, we recommended Touch MASK 9000 for all solvent based coating system. These products do not have any side effect to physical and chemical properties of paint.
