Product Description

Carbosolv Xylene Thinners are the solvent used for our range of fast drying paints designed for spray application (gloss, semi-gloss and metal primer), as well as our Hammershield metal paint and Carbochlor chlorinated rubber paint.

When thinning for spraying, please refer to the technical data sheet of the relevant paint. This will offer guidance in order to dilute at the correct ratio. For most top coats the recommended dilution would be 1 part xylene thinner to 10 parts paint or about 10%.

For primers such as Palatine Fast Dry Metal the recommended dilution would be 1.5 parts thinner to 10 parts paint or about 15%.

Xylene solvent is also used for cleaning spray equipment and equipment such as solvent resistant rollers and brushes after applying these paints.

 

Product details
Drying time: 12hrs
Application: Brush
Coverage: 180ml/m2
Active ingredients: Tebuconazole, IPBC and Permethrin.
Apply the product liberally to the end grain and allow it to be absorbed. The ends of the timber can also be stood in Cut End Preserver for an hour to allow the product to deeply penetrate.
Application method: Amateur: BRUSH AND ROLLER. Professional: BRUSH, DIP AND ROLLER.

Protect environment (e.g. Soil, plants, aquatic environment) from splashes.

Amateur / Professional uses: Shake Well. Apply using a synthetic brush designed for oil based products, spreading out thinly and evenly, ensure end grain is thoroughly treated along with cut and drilled areas. Reseal container after use. It is recommended that a minimum of 2 coats are applied depending on wood species and surface characteristics. Allow 6–12 hours drying time (touch dry) between coats. Application of successive coats will provide a darker finish and on smooth wood a higher sheen finish. If using the Clear Preserver in conjunction with a stain / wood dye it is recommended to apply the colourant before the Preserver, test effect on an off-cut initially. Before use, test a small inconspicuous area with all products to be used, to ensure a satisfactory final finish and compatibility. Do not use if ambient temperature is below 5°C or humidity is above 80%. Clean tools immediately after use with White Spirit or Brush Cleaner.
