Full details

The Bartoline Low Odor White Spirit is designed for users who need a versatile solvent for cleaning paint tools and thinning oil-based paints, particularly in indoor or confined spaces. Its key benefit is a significantly milder odor compared to standard white spirit, making it more comfortable for interior use. A caveat is that while low odor, adequate ventilation is still recommended for prolonged use. This product is a refined solvent suitable for various applications including brush cleaning, paint tool cleanup, tackling paint spills, and thinning solvent-based and oil-based paints, all while adhering to BS245 Type A standards.

FAQs

Is this white spirit suitable for water-based paints?

No, Bartoline Low Odor White Spirit is designed for use with solvent-based and oil-based paints only. It is not effective for thinning or cleaning water-based paints.

Can I use this indoors without opening windows?

While it has a low odor, it is still a solvent. For prolonged use or in small spaces, it is recommended to ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows or using a fan.

How should I dispose of used white spirit?

Used white spirit should be disposed of responsibly according to your local environmental regulations. Do not pour it down the drain. Contact your local council or waste disposal service for guidance.

What does BS245 Type A compliance mean?

It means the product meets the specific quality and safety standards set by the British Standards Institution for this type of solvent.

Can I use this to clean up dried paint spills?

This white spirit is most effective on fresh, wet paint spills. For dried paint, it may require more effort or specialized removers.

Is it safe to store near a heat source?

No, white spirit is flammable. It should be stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, sparks, and open flames.

Troubleshooting

Paint not thinning properly

Ensure you are using the correct type of paint (oil-based/solvent-based) and add the white spirit gradually while stirring thoroughly. Avoid over-thinning.

Stubborn paint residue on brushes

Soak brushes in the white spirit for a longer period, then work the residue out. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and soap afterwards.

Unpleasant odor persists

Although low odor, ensure adequate ventilation is present in the working area. Open windows or use a fan if necessary.

White spirit leaves a residue after cleaning

Ensure all paint has been fully removed. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth dampened with water after using the white spirit to remove any solvent traces.
