Product Description

Carbosolv Toluene (also known as toluol) is a solvent and paint thinner with a number of uses in the chemical and manufacturing industries. It is a colourless liquid with an odour of paint thinners.

In the paint and coatings industry, toluene is used as a solvent in paints, lacquers and adhesives. It is also used to create thinners for these types of coatings.

Toluene also has uses in the manufacturing of organic chemicals such as benzene and urethane raw materials.

It can also be used to produce products like dyes and cosmetic nail coatings. It also has many other niche uses throughout various industries.

The toluene we supply has a minimum purity of 99.5% and a maximum of 0.2% non-aromatics.

Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.

Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.

The preparation of steelwork prior to painting generally falls into two main areas; that of degreasing and the removal of rust and scale.
All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dust, grease and millscale, etc.
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.

Mixing
Stir the paint with a drill stirrer or wooden baton at least 2” wide. Continue to stir during application.

Application
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.

Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume applying thin coats allowing each one to dry before applying subsequent coats.
Once dried, a second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.

Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.

If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use

Preceding Coat
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Mordant Solution.

Subsequent Coat
A second coat is recommended for maximum protection.
