White Spirits from Sierra is a premium grade surface prep and cleaning solvent with less odour than kerosene, for workshops, in 20 L drums.

What it does

Sierra grades it as premium and says it smells less than kerosene. The SDS lists solvent and surface preparation as its uses. It is a low aromatic white spirit with a 42°C flash point and a boiling range of 149 to 194°C, so it evaporates at a steady, moderate rate: slow enough to dissolve grease, wax and oily films, quick enough to leave a dry surface for the next step.

Where to use it

Paint and panel shops, maintenance and fabrication workshops, joiners and cleaning crews. Wipe downs before coating, cleaning brushes and tools after oil based paint, and degreasing metal parts. Part of our solvents and thinners range.

How to use

1. Dampen a lint free cloth and work across the surface one section at a time.
2. Follow with a clean dry cloth to lift the loosened contamination.
3. For tools and parts, brush or soak, then let them dry in a ventilated area.
4. Keep the drum sealed and out of direct sun between uses.

Safe on / avoid

Suits metal, timber and cured paint. Test plastics, rubber and fresh coatings first. It does not mix with water, so collect waste for licensed disposal rather than rinsing it to drain. The SDS says to keep it away from aerosols, strong oxidants and corrosives. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
