White Spirits
Product Information
White spirits is a clear and colourless, slow drying solvent also known as mineral spirit.
It evaporates slowly and evenly making it ideal for thinning alkyd resins, varnishes as well as enamel paints.
This product is not turpentine and can be used in paints without degrading or destroying their makeup.
White spirits can be added to oil-based paints that have over evaporated and become too thick to work with which helps improve the coverage.
Use this product to clean equipment after painting with enamels and varnishes.
Application
Add the solvent to the coating slowly while mixing until the right consistency is achieved.
Add up to 40% by volume to varnishes or enamel paints but not more.
Use small amounts of white spirits at a time when cleaning brushes and equipment.
Up to three washes required to clean brushes and equipment depending on the varnish or enamel.
It is advisable to use white spirits with caution in a well ventilated space as the product is volatile and also combustible.
Uses
Thinning alkyd resins.
Thinning varnishes as well as enamels.
