Bottom Line

Achieving optimal application consistency with oil-based floor paints and maintaining your brushes and equipment requires an effective, reliable solvent. SPO Floor Paint Thinners & Brushwash is specifically formulated to thin oil-based floor coatings for smoother application whilst providing thorough cleaning power for brushes, rollers, and equipment.

Dual-Purpose Formulation
This versatile solvent serves two essential functions: thinning oil-based floor paints to achieve the perfect application consistency, and thoroughly cleaning brushes, rollers, and equipment after use. One product handles both critical tasks efficiently.

Optimises Paint Application
When added to oil-based floor paints in the correct ratio, this thinner improves flow and levelling, making application smoother and reducing brush marks. This ensures professional results and helps you achieve the manufacturer's recommended coverage rates.

Effective Brush and Equipment Cleaning
The powerful solvent action breaks down dried and wet paint quickly, restoring brushes and rollers to like-new condition. Proper cleaning with quality thinners extends the lifespan of your decorating tools significantly.

Suitable for Oil-Based Floor Coatings

What paints can I use this with?
SPO Floor Paint Thinners is designed for oil-based floor paints, garage floor coatings, and similar solvent-based products. Always check your paint manufacturer's recommendations for compatible thinners before use.

How much thinner should I add to my paint?
Thinning ratios vary by paint type and application method. Start with the paint manufacturer's recommended ratio (typically 5-10% for brushing, up to 15% for spraying). Add gradually and test consistency before applying to your surface.

Can I use this to clean brushes with dried paint?
Yes, this solvent is effective at breaking down both wet and dried oil-based paint. For heavily dried brushes, soak in the thinners for several hours or overnight, then work the bristles to remove the paint before rinsing.

Is this suitable for water-based paints?
No, this is a solvent-based thinner designed specifically for oil-based coatings. For water-based paints, use water for thinning and cleaning. Using the wrong thinner type can damage your paint or equipment.

How should I store and dispose of thinners?
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and naked flames. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Dispose of used thinners according to local regulations for hazardous waste—never pour down drains.
