Cleaning and Degreasing Applications
- Cleaning Paint Application Tools: Essential for cleaning brushes, rollers, and spray equipment used with oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains.
- Industrial and Automotive Degreasing: Effectively removes grease, oil, and grime from tools, machinery, engine parts, and automotive components.
- Surface Preparation: Used to clean surfaces before painting, sealing, or applying adhesives by removing contaminants like oil, wax, and silicone, ensuring optimal adhesion.
- Residue Dissolution: Capable of dissolving and removing sticky residues from labels, tapes, and certain adhesives on various non-porous surfaces.
- Wax and Polish Stripping: Can be employed to strip old wax layers from furniture or floors prior to refinishing.
Paint Thinner and Coating Modifier
- Thinning Oil-Based Media: Predominantly used to reduce the viscosity of oil-based paints, enamels, varnishes, and stains, improving their flow, leveling, and penetration for smoother application.
- Adjusting Coating Consistency: Allows for the modification of coating viscosity to suit specific application methods, such as brushing, rolling, or spraying, achieving desired finish characteristics.
Important Usage Notes: Mineral spirits are flammable and their vapors can be harmful. Always ensure excellent ventilation in the work area. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including solvent-resistant gloves and safety eyewear. Dispose of used mineral spirits and contaminated materials (e.g., rags) responsibly and in accordance with local environmental and safety regulations to prevent fire hazards and pollution.
