Product Description
Standard Thinners for Cellulose Coating & General Cleaning
Carbosolv Standard Thinners are a professional-grade solvent blend engineered specifically for the thinning of cellulose-based paints, varnishes, and enamels. This high-strength aromatic hydrocarbon provides superior dissolving power, making it the primary choice for achieving a high-quality finish with trade primers and heavy-duty coatings.
Key Applications & Compatibility
- Cellulose Paint Thinning: Formulated specifically for thinning cellulose primers and specialized metal coatings to the required spray or brush consistency.
- General Tool Cleaning: Effectively removes oil-based paints, grease, and silicone from brushes, trays, and general application equipment.
- Industrial Degreaser: A fast-evaporating solvent used to prepare metal surfaces by removing contaminants before the application of a primer.
Derived from high-quality refined solvents, our standard thinner provides consistent performance for trade contractors. It remains a cost-effective, high-strength solution for industrial environments where fast “flash-off” times are essential for production.

Preparation & Safety
Environmental Impact: Derived from 100% recycled solvents, reducing the environmental impact by reusing materials that are difficult to dispose of.
Safety First: This is a highly flammable solvent with a high VOC content. Use only in well-ventilated areas, wear appropriate PPE (gloves and eye protection), and store away from heat or ignition sources.
Legal Compliance: Due to legislation, this non-compliant material must not be used for refinishing passenger vehicles unless they are classified as classic or vintage.
Pre-Treatment: Can be used as a pre-treatment cleaner on surfaces before painting to ensure a clean substrate and a high-quality finish.
Usage & Application
Tool Cleaning: Ideal for cleaning application tools, including spray guns and brushes. It is effective at removing cellulose-type coatings.
Paint Thinning: Specifically designed for thinning cellulose paints and primers.
Drying Speed: Offers fast evaporation and drying times, often drying more quickly than conventional cellulose thinners.
Compatibility: While designed for cellulose products, it may not be compatible with all paint types. Always check the technical data sheet of your specific coating before mixing.
Thinning Ratio: Follow the specific thinning instructions provided by the paint manufacturer for the product you are using.
Q: What is the main purpose of Palatine Standard Thinners?
A: They are primarily used for cleaning application tools, such as brushes and spray guns, and for thinning cellulose-based paints (especially primers).
Q: Is this product environmentally friendly?
A: Yes, it is derived from 100% recycled solvents. This process reuses materials that are otherwise difficult to dispose of, reducing the overall environmental impact.
Q: How does the drying time compare to other thinners?
A: Standard Thinners offer good drying times and can often dry faster than conventional cellulose thinners.
Q: What safety precautions should I take?
A: This is a highly flammable solvent. Always use it in a well-ventilated area, wear appropriate PPE (gloves and eye protection), and store it away from heat and ignition sources.
Q: Can I use this with any type of paint?
A: It is specifically designed for thinning cellulose paints and primers. It may not be compatible with all paint types, so always check the technical data sheet for your specific coating.
