Product Description
Toluene is a clear, colourless liquid with a distinctive smell, commonly used as an industrial solvent. Also known as toluol, it is a solvent and paint thinner with numerous uses in the chemical and manufacturing industries. Known for its effectiveness, toluene solvent is widely utilized in paint thinners, adhesives, and chemical reactions. As a toluene paint thinner, it helps achieve smooth, even finishes by dissolving paint and varnish. Its versatility extends to the production of explosives, disinfectants, and pharmaceuticals.
The grade we supply has a minimum purity of 99.5% and a maximum of 0.2% non-aromatics. Used as a paint thinner solvent in the paint and coatings industry, it serves as a solvent in paints, lacquers, and adhesives. It is also used to create thinners for these types of coatings. Toluene can also be used to produce products like dyes and cosmetic nail coatings. As a common solvent in nail polish and other cosmetic products, it helps achieve the desired consistency and drying properties. It also has many other niche uses throughout various industries.

Preparation:
To ensure a durable and effective bilge paint application, it’s crucial to properly prepare the surface. Start by cleaning the substrate thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or oil. You can use a degreaser or mineral spirits for this step. Next, inspect the surface for any rust or old paint. If present, remove the rust using a wire brush, sandpaper, grinder or suitable rust remover / treatment. For old paint, use a paint stripper or sand it down until you reach the bare metal. Once the surface is clean and free of rust and old paint, sand it with fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth and slightly roughened surface for better paint adhesion. Finally, wipe down the steel with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris before applying our rust-inhibitive marine primer. After the primer has dried, you can proceed with applying our high build marine undercoat and then one but preferably two coats of the bilge paint.
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.
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.
A second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.
For application onto wooden surfaces, a minimum of two coats is recommended.
Drying Time @ 20ºC: Drying times will be extended at low temperatures.
Do not apply when ambient temperature falls below 5ºC or relative humidity exceeds 90%.
Surface dry @ 20ºC: 1 hours
Hard dry @ 20ºC: 4 hours
Overcoat@ 20ºC: After 8 hours (temperature dependent).
