GREEN GUARD MINERAL TURPENTINE 5LIT
KSh 1,500.00
Green Guard Mineral Turpentine 5L is a versatile solvent designed for thinning oil-based paints, varnishes, and enamels. It also serves as an effective cleaning agent for brushes, tools, and equipment, suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use in Kenya.
Green Guard Mineral Turpentine 5L is a petroleum-derived solvent formulated for professional and domestic painting applications. Its primary function is to thin oil-based paints, varnishes, and enamels, allowing smoother application, improved flow, and consistent coverage on walls, wood, or metal surfaces.
In addition to thinning, the solvent acts as a cleaning agent for paint brushes, rollers, trays, and other tools. By dissolving paint residues, it prevents bristle hardening and ensures that painting equipment remains usable over time.
The mineral turpentine’s medium evaporation rate allows sufficient working time for detailed application while ensuring that the paint dries evenly, producing a uniform finish with minimal streaking. It is suitable for brush, roller, or spray application depending on the project requirements.
Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance
Green Guard Mineral Turpentine 5L is manufactured from refined petroleum distillates, ensuring consistent clarity, solvency, and performance. Its formulation minimizes impurities that could affect paint quality or leave residue on surfaces.
When stored correctly in a sealed container away from heat or open flames, the solvent maintains its effectiveness over long periods. It is suitable for Kenyan environmental conditions, performing reliably in both humid coastal areas and drier interior regions.
The product should be used with proper ventilation. While it evaporates quickly, allowing surfaces to dry promptly, it is flammable and must be handled with care. Proper storage and disposal are essential to maintain safety and environmental compliance.
Installation, Handling and Compatibility
Green Guard Mineral Turpentine 5L is ready to use. For paint thinning, gradually mix the solvent with oil-based paints or varnishes to achieve the desired consistency. Testing on a small area before full application is recommended to confirm compatibility and finish quality.
For cleaning purposes, immerse brushes or tools in the turpentine, swish to dissolve paint residues, then rinse with water or soap as appropriate for the type of paint used. It is compatible with most oil-based paints, enamels, and varnishes common in Kenya, including both interior and exterior applications.
Safety precautions include wearing gloves, ensuring good ventilation, keeping away from children and pets, and avoiding contact with heat or sparks. Disposal of used turpentine should follow local environmental guidelines.
