The Versatile General-Purpose Solvent for Cleaning and Thinning.

Kenlac® Super Standard Thinner is a cost-effective, multi-purpose solvent blend designed for a wide range of industrial applications. Formulated with a balanced mixture of hydrocarbons and active solvents, it offers powerful solvency for nitrocellulose (NC) paints, primers, and sealers.

While widely used as a diluent for standard furniture finishes, it is also the go-to solution for heavy-duty cleaning. It effectively dissolves wet paint, grease, and oil, making it indispensable for cleaning spray guns, brushes, and workshop equipment. Its fast evaporation rate speeds up drying times for primers and sealers without trapping solvents.

Key Features:

  • High Solvency Power: Rapidly cuts through grease, oil, and wet paint.

  • Multi-Purpose: Suitable for thinning NC paints and cleaning equipment.

  • Fast Evaporation: Promotes quick drying of primers and wood sealers.

  • Cost-Effective: The economical choice for bulk cleaning and industrial use.

1. Thinning NC Paints: When using with Nitrocellulose (NC) paints, varnishes, or sanding sealers, add the thinner gradually while stirring.

  • Ratio: Typically mixed at 1:1 or as per the paint manufacturer’s recommendation to achieve spraying viscosity.

  • Warning: Do not use with 2-Pack (2K) paints or Polyurethanes, as this may cause separation or blooming. Use Kenlac® 2K Thinner for those products.

2. Cleaning Spray Guns: Immediately after painting, pour a small amount of Kenlac Super Standard Thinner into the spray gun cup. Shake well and spray through the nozzle to clear out all internal passages. Repeat until the solvent runs clear.

3. Surface Degreasing: To prepare metal surfaces for painting, soak a clean rag in the thinner and wipe down the surface to remove oil, grease, and fingerprints. Allow to air dry completely before priming.

4. Brush Recovery: Soak hardened brushes in a container of Super Standard Thinner overnight to soften old paint, then wash with warm soapy water.

5. Safety Precautions: Use only in well-ventilated areas. This product is highly flammable. Avoid skin contact by wearing solvent-resistant gloves.
