Application advice
Apply cellulose thinner under optimal conditions: temperature above 5°C and humidity below 80% RH. For dilution of nitrocellulose paints, gradually incorporate the thinner according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations.
Always use this product in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment: solvent-resistant gloves, safety glasses and mask with appropriate filter. Cellulose thinner is irritant to skin and eyes. Keep the product away from heat and sources of ignition.
For tool cleaning, immerse brushes and rollers immediately after use. The thinner can also be used for pre-degreasing surfaces before applying nitrocellulose paint.

Pro tips
As a professional, use cellulose thinner exclusively for nitrocellulose systems. Never mix with other types of solvents or incompatible paints. To achieve maximum gloss on your nitro finishes, strictly respect the recommended dosages: excess thinner can compromise film adhesion. Always provide a sealed container for storing brushes between coats and dispose of waste in accordance with Belgian regulations on hazardous chemicals. If in doubt about compatibility with a substrate or paint system, always perform a test on an inconspicuous area first.
