Product Description

The paints solvent is designed to improve the flow of a range of alkyd and oil based products.
Can also be used as cleaner for pumps and tools before and after painting. Paint thinner is a petroleumderived clear liquid used as a common organic solvent in painting. A mixture of aliphatic, openchain or alicyclic C7 to C12 hydrocarbons, white spirit is insoluble in water and is used as an extraction
solvent, as a cleaning solvent, as a degreasing solvent and as a solvent in aerosols, paints, wood
