Contractor Overview

Xylene is a two-component epoxy system. 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.

Best For

  • Equipment

Key Features

  • 100% solids epoxy coating systems, though users should check Federal or local VOC regulations before thinning
  • VOC regulations before thinning
  • Two-component epoxy chemistry
  • Used for bonding, repair, or protection applications

Material & Application Notes

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.

Why Contractors Choose It
