About this product

LICON White Spirit 1L is a petroleum-based solvent designed to thin oil-based paints, varnishes, and enamel coatings while facilitating easy cleanup. It works by reducing the viscosity of paints for smoother application and can also dissolve grease, tar, and other oily residues on surfaces.

This solvent is widely used in workshops, construction sites, and home painting projects. Its low-odor formulation makes it practical for indoor and outdoor applications while maintaining material performance.


Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance

LICON White Spirit is refined to high purity standards to ensure minimal residue and consistent performance. It does not chemically react with most oil-based paints or varnishes and is resistant to evaporation under typical Kenyan temperatures.

The solvent is flammable and must be stored in a cool, ventilated area, away from open flames. It complies with general handling safety standards for petroleum-based solvents in Kenya. Use in well-ventilated areas to minimize inhalation exposure.


Installation, Handling and Compatibility

Application involves straightforward procedures but requires adherence to safety precautions. When thinning paint, pour the recommended amount of white spirit into the paint and stir thoroughly. For cleaning brushes or surfaces, soak and wipe using a cloth or brush.

LICON White Spirit is compatible with oil-based paints, varnishes, enamels, and various metal or wooden surfaces. Always use protective gloves and avoid contact with eyes or skin. Store the product upright, tightly closed, and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.


Typical Applications in Kenya

LICON White Spirit 1L is commonly used by painters, decorators, and industrial workers in Kenya. Typical applications include:

  • Thinning oil-based paints and varnishes for smoother brush or roller application

  • Cleaning paint brushes, rollers, and spray equipment

  • Degreasing metal parts, machinery, and tools in workshops

  • DIY painting projects at home, including furniture refinishing
