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.
