Product Information

Full details

The Bartoline Low Odour White Spirit is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who require a versatile solvent for cleaning and thinning, particularly in indoor or confined spaces. Its primary benefit is its significantly reduced odor compared to traditional white spirit, making tasks more comfortable. A key consideration is that while low odor, adequate ventilation is still recommended for prolonged use. This product serves as a reliable alternative to standard white spirit for a range of applications including brush cleaning, paint tool maintenance, and handling paint spills, while also functioning effectively for thinning solvent-based paints.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of this low odour white spirit?

The primary advantage is its significantly reduced odor compared to standard white spirit, making it more comfortable to use, especially in indoor or confined spaces.

Can I use this product with water-based paints?

No, this white spirit is designed for solvent-based paints, varnishes, and lacquers. It is not compatible with water-based or emulsion paints.

How should I store Bartoline Low Odour White Spirit?

Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed.

Is it safe to use indoors without ventilation?

While the odor is reduced, adequate ventilation is still recommended for prolonged use or in poorly ventilated areas to ensure comfort and safety.

What does 'BS245 Type A' compliance mean?

It means the white spirit has been refined to meet specific industry standards, ensuring a certain level of purity and consistent performance for its intended applications.

Can this product be used to remove old, dried paint?

It is most effective for cleaning wet paint and spills. For old, dried paint, multiple applications or a more aggressive cleaner might be required.

Troubleshooting

Product has a stronger odor than expected.

While 'low odour', some scent is normal. Ensure the area is adequately ventilated for better comfort. Check that the product has not been contaminated or degraded by improper storage.

Incomplete paint removal from brushes.

Allow brushes to soak for a short period. For stubborn, dried paint, multiple applications or a stronger solvent may be necessary. Ensure you are working with solvent-based paint products.

Surface finish is affected after thinning paint.

Ensure the product is being used to thin the correct type of paint (solvent-based). Use sparingly and test the thinned paint consistency on a scrap piece first. Check the paint manufacturer's recommendations for thinning.
