Recochem Enamel Thinners reduces enamel paint for spraying and strips wax and grease before painting, for spray painters, in 20 L drums (minimum 4).

What it does

Enamel straight from the tin is usually too heavy to atomise well. This thinner, toluene and light aliphatic naphtha by the SDS, lowers the viscosity so the paint sprays evenly, then flashes off quickly so the film can level. Recochem says it suits most industrial enamels. The same solvent cleans wax and grease off panels before painting and removes enamel overspray.

Where to use it

Spray booths, fabrication shops, truck body and machinery painters, and crews refinishing steelwork. Part of our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

1. Check the enamel maker's data sheet for the thinning rate and test spray a scrap panel.
2. Add thinner gradually, stirring, until the paint reaches spraying consistency.
3. Surface prep: wipe the panel with a thinner wet cloth, then dry it with a clean cloth before the solvent flashes off.
4. Remove overspray while it is fresh, and close the drum straight after use.

Safe on / avoid

Made for industrial enamel paints over steel or primed surfaces. It softens fresh paint, plastics and many rubbers, so test anything you are not coating. For acrylic paint use Recochem All Purpose Thinners. The vapour is heavier than air and can travel to a spark. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
