The Ionic thinner is made to thin acrylics while keeping their opacity and adhesion. Water thins paint but also removes binder – at higher ratios the paint then breaks up and does not lay down evenly. A thinner solves that, and with an airbrush the difference is immediate.

Is water not enough?
For light thinning, yes. For airbrushing and glazes, no – water breaks up the binder and the paint starts to separate. A thinner keeps the paint coherent even at 1 : 1 and beyond.
Can I use it with other brands?
Usually yes, acrylic thinners are fairly cross-compatible. With an unfamiliar combination, test it on the palette first rather than on the figure.
This product is intended for modelling use. Keep it out of reach of children, away from heat and open flame, and work in a ventilated room. Read the information on the jar label before use.
The other auxiliary products are in the Ionic thinners and cleaners category, and the paints in Ionic Smart Colors.
