Safety data sheet
Technical data sheet

1. What is SPO Floor Paint Thinners used for?

SPO Floor Paint Thinners is designed to improve the flow and penetration of floor paint—especially on the first coat—and to clean brushes, rollers, and painting equipment. Its versatile formula helps you achieve an even finish while reducing paint waste.

2. Can I use it with any brand of floor paint?

It’s specifically formulated to work seamlessly with SPO Floor Paint, but it may also be compatible with other solvent-based floor coatings. Always do a small test or consult the paint’s instructions to ensure compatibility.

3. How do I use it to thin my floor paint?

Follow the paint manufacturer’s guidelines on how much thinner to add—usually a small percentage for the first coat. Stir well to ensure the thinner is thoroughly mixed before application.

4. Can I also use it to wash out brushes and rollers?

Absolutely. After painting, pour a small amount into a container and work your brush or roller in it to remove paint residues. This keeps tools in better condition for future projects.

5. Is it suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects?

Yes, SPO Floor Paint Thinners can be used for both interior and exterior floor painting jobs. It helps create a smooth, professional finish whether you’re working in a garage, workshop, or patio.

6. Will thinning the paint affect its durability?

Used correctly and according to guidelines, thinning helps the first coat penetrate and adhere more effectively without compromising the final durability. However, over-thinning can reduce coverage and performance, so follow the recommended ratios.

7. Are there any safety precautions I should take?

Yes. Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid open flames, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and goggles. Always read and follow the safety instructions on the label.
