Description

U-POL Standard Universal Thinner 1L Tin Clear is a professional-grade solvent blend designed to adjust the viscosity of compatible automotive paint systems. It helps coatings reach a suitable consistency for application, supporting smooth spraying and an even finish. Part of the U-POL System 20 range, it is compatible with most U-POL paint systems when the appropriate thinner is specified.

What U-Pol Standard Universal Thinner Primer is for

This universal thinner is used to adjust the viscosity of compatible automotive coatings before application. It is intended for professional refinishing processes where the correct paint consistency is important for spray performance and finish quality. It should only be added to coatings that specify compatibility with this type of thinner.

For faster evaporation during compatible paint applications, consider U-POL Fast Drying Universal Thinner 1L Tin Clear. If your project requires slower evaporation for different application conditions, the U-POL Slow Drying Universal Thinner is another option within the System 20 range.

How to apply

1. Identify the paint or coating you intend to use and confirm that it is compatible with U-POL Standard Universal Thinner.
2. Stir the coating thoroughly before adjusting its consistency.
3. Add the thinner gradually, following the mixing ratio specified for the coating system.
4. Mix thoroughly until the required consistency is achieved.
5. Apply the coating using the recommended application equipment and settings for that product.
6. Close the tin securely after use and store it in a suitable, well-ventilated storage area away from heat sources.
