Xylene
High-strength solvent cleaner
Xylene is a clear, colorless, and highly flammable solvent, designed primarily for thinning and cleaning resin-based compounds. It has a greater solvency strength (KB Value) than SpecChem Solvent 100 or mineral spirits, making it highly effective for certain applications.
- Ideal for equipment and tool cleanup, especially for quicker cleanup of epoxy and urethane compared to Aromatic 100.
- Effective as a troweling aid for epoxy mortars.
- Offers superior thinning properties and cleanup efficacy for acrylic and other resin-based curing compounds.
- Can be used to thin 100% solids epoxy coating systems, though users should check Federal or local VOC regulations before thinning.
Application
Xylene is suitable for:
- Cleaning equipment and tools from epoxy and urethane residues.
- Thinning resin-based curing compounds for enhanced application.
- Use in industrial settings where high solvency cleaning is required.
Packaging
Available in 55-gallon drums, 5-gallon pails, and 1-gallon cans (6 per case).
Shelf Life
- Xylene has a shelf life of two years when stored in its original, tightly closed container.
- Store in a cool, ventilated place and protect from direct sunlight.
- Keep away from open flames, heat, or other ignition sources.
