Recochem Lacquer Thinners is a strong toluene and MEK paint thinner that also cleans spray guns and lines, for spray shops, in 20 L drums (minimum 4).

What it does

The SDS describes a general purpose paint thinner that also cleans spray lines and spray guns. It is a hot blend: toluene at 60 to 70 per cent, methyl ethyl ketone at 20 to 30 per cent and light aliphatic naphtha. That mix dissolves lacquer and many other paint films quickly and evaporates fast, so it reduces paint for spraying and then gets out of the way. Between colours or at day's end, it flushes paint out of guns, cups and hoses.

Where to use it

Automotive and industrial spray shops, joinery and furniture finishers, sign writers and fabrication painters: the mixing bench, gun wash stations and painting tools. See the full solvents and thinners range.

How to use

1. Thinning: follow the paint maker's reduction ratio, add thinner slowly while stirring, then test spray.
2. Gun cleaning: empty the gun, add a little thinner to the cup and spray it through into a closed waste can until it runs clear, then wipe the air cap.
3. Tools: soak in a lidded container, never an open bucket.
4. Collect spent thinner for recycling or licensed disposal.

Safe on / avoid

Suits metal spray equipment, steel and glass. Toluene and MEK attack many plastics, rubbers and cured paints, so keep it off finished surfaces you want to keep and test seals and hoses first. Use it in strong ventilation. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
