Well, given the fact that a small but significant part of the country is irradiated, they may not sweat the details much on some measly lacquer thinner. ;-)
I found the main part of the MSDS for X-20A. Water 54.9175%, Secondary Butanol 19.9700%, Normal Propyl Alcohol 14.9775%, 3-methyl-3-methoxy Butanol 9.9850%, Additives 0.1500%. It's the additives piece that likely contains the retarder and/or other specialty goodies.
That makes sense. I'd guess that there are interractions between X-20 and the solvents used by Tamiya which is why one might not want to use it with Vallejo - or maybe more to the point why water wouldn't work with Tamiya as the thinning agent as it does with Vallejo, Revell, Life Color etc. Would be nice to find a MSDS for Tamiya lacquer thinner. I'd guess it is very like Mr. Color.

A model boat is much cheaper than a real one and won't sink with you in it.
vallejo is an acrylic polymer based paint.(not "water based") very similar to createx
their thinner is an acrylic medium
Tamiya is almost a waterborne type paint with a solvent carrier(again not "water based") ...
they recommend their lacquer based thinner"for best results"
acrylic related paints cover a very broad spectrum are require all different manor of treatment
many manufactures like to call their paints "water based" it sounds all safe and cozy and sells the heck out of product. the only thing they have in common with water is they clean up with water.
maybe they should call them "water clean up " paints.
The only thing that I know is actually true "water based" is artists/children's watercolors
Thanks for that info Stymye. Interesting.
What happend to our resident expert on paints? I never see him post anymore.
His screen name alludes me at the moment. Wasn't it "Triarus" or something like that?
