White Spirit Zeus Paints σε πλαστική φιάλη 400 ml για αραίωση και καθαρισμό εργαλείων βαφής
White Spirit Thinner

White Spirit Thinner is a hydrocarbon-based solvent mainly suitable for the thinning of alkyd / synthetic paints and varnishes, as well as for tool cleaning after the use of compatible products. It offers good solvency for alkyd systems, a moderate evaporation rate for smoother application, and a milder odor compared with stronger solvents such as nitro thinner or acetone.

Where it is used

White Spirit Thinner is used for:

  • thinning alkyd and synthetic paints
  • thinning varnishes and related products
  • adjusting application depending on the product and application method
  • cleaning tools such as brushes, rollers, and other application equipment
  • light cleaning and removal of oil, grease, and certain contaminants from metallic or already painted surfaces
Why choose White Spirit

Choosing the right thinner is not only about dilution. It also affects how the material behaves during application. White Spirit is a practical choice when you need compatibility with alkyd / synthetic systems, more controlled application behavior, and a less aggressive solvent where stronger types are not necessary. White spirit is generally linked to smooth flow, good film leveling, and a moderate evaporation rate.

Suitable for
  • alkyd / synthetic paints
  • compatible varnishes
  • wood preservatives and impregnation varnishes
  • cleaning tools after application
  • light technical surface cleaning
Key technical characteristics
  • Appearance: Clear / colorless liquid
  • Density(20°C): 0.80 kg/L ± 0.02 kg/L
  • Shelf life:: 24 months in original, unopened packaging
  • Storage conditions: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from sunlight, heat, sparks, and flames, at temperatures from +5°C to +30°C
How to use

Add the required amount of White Spirit Thinner to the product to be thinned, always following the paint or varnish manufacturer’s instructions. Stir thoroughly until complete homogenization is achieved.

For tool cleaning, immerse or rinse the tools with the solvent and then wipe them with a clean cloth. Allow surfaces to dry sufficiently before the next step of work. Consumption depends on the type and viscosity of the product being thinned, the application method, and the final film requirements.

Important note

White Spirit is not recommended for sensitive substrates such as certain plastics or freshly applied water-based acrylic paints. Before use, testing on a small inconspicuous area is recommended.
