Gun Wash Thinners - Solvents and Thinners - Sierra - Image 1
Description

Gun Wash Thinners is Sierra's recycled solvent blend for cleaning spray guns, cups and lines in paint shops, in a 20 L drum.

What it does

Sierra makes this as a recycled blend of solvents for spray gun cleaning. The SDS lists toluene, light aliphatic naphtha, acetone and methyl acetate, a mix that dissolves wet paint quickly and evaporates fast so equipment is ready for the next colour. Because it is recycled, it is a cost effective way to keep up with daily gun cleaning in a busy shop.

Where to use it

Automotive refinish and panel shops, industrial spray booths, fabrication and furniture finishing lines. Spray guns, pots, cups, fluid lines and gun wash machines. Part of our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

  1. Empty leftover paint from the gun or cup.
  2. Add a small amount of gun wash and spray through into a closed waste container until it runs clear.
  3. Use it in gun wash machines at the maker's fill level, or soak parts in a lidded container.
  4. Wipe the air cap and needle, let the gun dry, and keep spent solvent sealed for recycling.

Safe on / avoid

Made for metal spray equipment. Use a proper paint thinner, such as GP Thinners, to reduce paint. It softens paint films, plastics and some seals, so check gun seals are solvent resistant. With a flash point of minus 15°C, keep it well away from ignition sources. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Questions
▸Can I use gun wash to thin paint?

Sierra makes it for spray gun cleaning, not thinning. Use GP Thinners or the paint maker's thinner.

▸Why is it called recycled?

Sierra describes it as a recycled blend of solvents, which keeps the cost down for daily cleaning.

▸Will it work in my gun wash machine?

It is made for spray gun cleaning, so it suits gun wash machines that take a flammable solvent. Follow the machine maker's fill level.

▸Why does gun wash need strong ventilation?

The SDS lists drowsiness and dizziness from the vapour, and its toluene, acetone and methyl acetate all carry exposure limits. Work in a booth or with extraction.
