About this product

Braz Chem Standard Thinner is a refined solvent formulated to reduce the viscosity of oil-based paints and coatings. It improves paint flow, coverage, and application control, while dissolving paint residues to enable effective cleaning of brushes, rollers, and other tools.

The solvent evaporates at a controlled rate, allowing the paint film to dry evenly without streaks or blotches, ensuring a professional-quality finish.


H2 – Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance

This thinner is made from high-purity petroleum fractions to ensure consistent performance and minimize impurities. It performs reliably under typical Kenyan workshop and construction site conditions, including moderate heat and humidity.

While it enhances paint application and cleaning, the solvent itself does not provide protective properties. Proper handling, ventilation, and disposal are recommended to minimize environmental impact.


H2 – Installation, Handling and Compatibility

Application involves mixing the thinner with oil-based paints, lacquers, or varnishes, or using it directly for cleaning tools. Measure according to paint manufacturer instructions to achieve the desired consistency. Brushes and rollers should be soaked or wiped with the thinner after use and allowed to dry.

Use gloves and eye protection to prevent skin and eye contact. Braz Chem Standard Thinner is compatible with oil-based paints, varnishes, and lacquers, but should not be used with water-based or reactive coatings.


H2 – Typical Applications in Kenya

Braz Chem Standard Thinner is commonly used for small- and medium-scale painting and maintenance projects. Contractors and painters apply it to doors, furniture, woodwork, and metal fixtures. Workshops use it for tool and equipment cleaning, while homeowners use it for DIY projects and minor touch-ups.

It pairs well with oil-based paints and related products available in the Shop at Ngong Hills Merchants.
