No, urethane reducer and acetone are not the same. Urethane Paint reducer is a solvent specifically formulated to thin polyurethane based paint to the desired consistency, while acetone is a strong, fast-evaporating solvent that is typically used for cleaning or removing paint but is not typically used for thinning paint. You will find that urethane reducers contain many solvents including a percentage of methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, naphtha, and of course, acetone. It is the percentage of ingredients that make the urethane reducer effective at reducing polyurethane based paints for spraying in different temperature and humidity conditions.
