About this product

Licon White Spirit is a petroleum-based solvent formulated to reduce the viscosity of oil-based paints and coatings. It improves paint flow, coverage, and application control, while dissolving residues to allow thorough cleaning of painting equipment.

The solvent evaporates at a controlled rate, helping paint films dry evenly without streaks or uneven patches, ensuring a professional-quality finish.


H2 – Material Quality, Durability and Environmental Performance

This white spirit is refined from high-purity petroleum fractions to provide consistent performance and minimal impurities. It performs reliably under typical Kenyan environmental conditions, making it suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor painting and tool-cleaning tasks.

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


H2 – Installation, Handling and Compatibility

Licon White Spirit is applied by mixing with oil-based paints, varnishes, or enamels to achieve the desired consistency, or directly for cleaning tools. Follow paint manufacturer instructions to ensure optimal results. Brushes and rollers should be soaked or wiped with the solvent after use and allowed to dry.

Protective gloves and eye protection are recommended during handling. It is compatible with oil-based paints, varnishes, and enamels but should not be used with water-based coatings or reactive chemicals.


H2 – Typical Applications in Kenya

Licon White Spirit 5L is widely used in residential, commercial, and workshop painting projects. Contractors and painters use it on furniture, doors, woodwork, and metal fixtures. Workshops use it to clean and maintain brushes and painting tools, while homeowners rely on it for DIY projects and touch-ups.

It complements other oil-based paints and related products available in the Shop at Ngong Hills Merchants.
