Safety data sheet
Technical data sheet

1. What is Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint Thinners and Brush Cleaner used for?

This product serves two main purposes:

1. Thinning the first coat of Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint for optimal coverage and adhesion.
2. Cleaning brushes, rollers, and other application tools to remove paint residues effectively.

2. Why do I need to thin my swimming pool paint?

Thinning the paint, especially for the first coat on porous or unsealed surfaces, helps improve flow and penetration. This ensures a more even finish and better adhesion before applying subsequent, full-strength coats.

3. How do I use this product for thinning?

Simply add a small quantity of Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint Thinners to your paint as recommended on the product datasheet. Mix thoroughly to achieve the desired consistency. Avoid over-thinning, as it may affect paint coverage and durability.

4. Can I use this product for cleaning any type of brush or roller?

Yes, it’s specifically formulated to remove residues of Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint from brushes and rollers. While it may help clean some other oil-based paints, it’s optimised for the Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint system.

5. Will using thinners affect the final paint colour or finish?

Properly thinning the paint should not significantly alter the colour. It helps ensure a smooth, professional-looking finish. However, always follow the recommended ratios to avoid over-thinning, which can reduce opacity.

6. Can I reuse brushes and rollers after cleaning?

Absolutely. Thoroughly cleaned tools can be reused multiple times. Cleaning them with Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint Thinners and Brush Cleaner prolongs tool life and maintains performance.

7. How should I dispose of any leftover thinners or cleaning residue?

Dispose of any waste thinners or paint residues according to local regulations. Never pour them down the drain. Consult your council or a waste management service for proper disposal guidelines.
