English term or phrase: reduce over layers and not thinning with solvent
Emissions to the air from the solvents (VOC) in the paints we are using are one of our main impacts to the environment. To reduce these emissions we mainly work with following solutions:
• Trying to influence our customers to chose water born paint or paint with high solid.
• Using two component paint pumps as much as possible, reduces waist of paint.
• If possible buying paint in bulk.
• Training, training and again training of personnel to choose right equipment for each work, get them to ***reduce over layers and not thinning with solvent***.

Thank you in advance!

减少涂层表面的挥发且不用溶剂稀释


Explanation:
这里讲的是“reduce these emissions” 的几项措施。
Reduce over layers = Reduce emissions over paint layers
VOC = Volatile Organic Compounds 挥发性有机化合物
通常稀释油漆用的 thinner 是有机溶剂,也是VOC。

逐层减低浓(油漆)粘稠度,且避免使用溶剂来稀释


Explanation:
在油漆的行业中, “reduce”和“thin” 大致是同义词。但在这段话中似乎有些差别。油漆的稀释剂有的叫“thinner”,有的叫“reducer”。前者多指通用的有机溶剂,即粤语所说的“天纳水”。后者多指涂料厂家专为某一种油漆配置的稀释剂。据我了解,大多数“reducer”的基本成分都是有机溶剂,也有非溶剂性稀释剂。然而,这种特殊配方的稀释剂的使用效果和环保指标都比较好。

我理解这段话的意思是:不要每一层漆都调得很稀。底层可以浓稠些,然后逐层递减,并且要用原厂的稀释剂,而不用通用的溶剂,从而减少有机溶剂的排放量。

抱歉打错了字。应该是“逐层减低(油漆)粘稠度,且避免使用溶剂来稀释”
