The Industry Benchmark for Everyday Wood Finishing.
Kenlac Standard Thinner is a general-purpose solvent blend that strikes the perfect balance between performance and cost. Positioned as the reliable middle-tier option in the Kenlac range, it offers higher purity and better evaporation characteristics than Economy thinners, making it suitable for a wider range of finishing tasks.
It is the versatile choice for workshops that need one product to do it all. It effectively thins Nitrocellulose (NC) Sanding Sealers and Primers without the risk of residue often found in cheaper solvents. It can also be used for standard NC topcoats where a high-gloss automotive finish is not required.
Key Features:
-
Balanced Performance: Stronger solvency than Economy grade, cleaner than washing thinners.
-
Versatile: Safe for use in both Base Coats (Sealers) and Standard Top Coats.
-
Consistent Evaporation: Reduces the risk of “orange peel” in standard furniture finishing.
-
Cleaner Finish: Lower impurity content ensures better clarity in clear varnishes.

1. Thinning NC Paints Kenlac Standard Thinner is safe to use with most Nitrocellulose finishes.
-
Ratio: Mix approx. 1:1 with paint or varnish.
-
Best Use: Ideal for general furniture joinery (Wardrobes, Cabinets) where a good finish is needed but the premium price of “High Gloss Thinner” isn’t justified.
2. Thinning Sanding Sealer Works excellently with Kenlac Sanding Sealer. It helps the sealer flow into the wood grain better than Economy thinner, providing a smoother base for sanding.
3. Cleaning Effective for cleaning spray guns and brushes. It leaves less oily residue than Kiboko or Economy thinners, meaning you don’t need to wash the tool with soap immediately after.
4. Storage & Safety Highly Flammable. Keep container tightly closed to prevent solvent loss through evaporation. Use in well-ventilated areas.
