Description

White spirit is an essential part of any painter and decorators arsenal.

What is white spirit used for ?

White spirit is used to clean paint brushes, paint rollers and other equipment after using oil-based paint. It can also be used to thin oil-based paints to allow for easier application of the paint.

White spirit is a solvent-based transparent fluid that can be used to clean decorating tools and many types of application.

Made from a blend of hydrocarbons, our white spirit is ideal for thinning paint, varnish, and wood treatments, as well as for cleaning paint brushes, paint rollers, and other painting tools.

Features:

  1. Effective Thinning Agent: Our White Spirit is an effective thinning agent for a variety of paints, varnishes, and wood treatments. Whether you’re using oil-based paints, enamel paints, or solvent-based varnishes, our white spirit helps to achieve the desired consistency for smooth and even application.
  2. Quick Drying: The solvent evaporates quickly, allowing for fast drying times and efficient application of paint and varnish. This ensures that your painting projects progress smoothly and without delay, reducing downtime and allowing for multiple coats to be applied in quick succession.
  3. Powerful Cleaning Properties: Our White Spirit is highly effective at dissolving and removing paint, varnish, and other coatings from paint brushes, paint rollers, and painting equipment. It helps to keep your tools clean and free from dried-on paint residue, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
  4. Versatile Usage: Our white spirit is suitable for a wide range of painting and decorating tasks, including thinning paint, cleaning paint brushes, degreasing surfaces, and removing wax or grease stains. Whether you’re preparing surfaces for painting or cleaning up after a project, our white spirit provides reliable performance and versatility.
  5. Low Odour: Our White Spirit is formulated with a low odour formula, making it more pleasant to work with compared to traditional solvents. The reduced odour minimizes discomfort during use and allows for greater comfort in enclosed spaces or poorly ventilated areas.
  6. Convenient Packaging: Our white spirit is available in various sizes, including small containers for occasional use and larger drums for professional contractors. The convenient packaging options ensure that you have the right amount of solvent for your specific project needs.

FAQ's

How long does the smell of white spirit last?

Unfortunately white spirit does have a very strong odour that is quite unpleasant, however you’ll be happy to know it only takes a couple of hours for white spirit to evaporate, if it has good ventilation. When the white spirit evaporates the smell will also disappear.

How to remove paint from clothes?

To remove paint from clothes, you should scrape of all the paint that you can, then soak the clothes in warm water. After leaving it in for around 30 minutes, you should dab it with some white spirit on a cloth soaking the stain. Then you should rinse it with warm soapy water till its removed. If the stain is still there you just repeat the process until it’ has gone.

Should you where gloves when using white spirit?

We would recommend you use rubber gloves when using white spirit to avoid the risk of skin contact. As well as gloves we suggest appropriate clothing coving skin on your arms and even safety glasses, as eye exposure can cause instant stinging and a burning sensation that we believe is just not worth the risk.

What do you do when you get white spirit on your skin?

As soon as the white spirit makes contact with your skin you should rinse it in water for at least 10 minutes, as it is hazardous chemical. If you were not to rinse it off immediately then it is likely you will experience irritation, drying, or cracking.
