Coo-Var Hammercote Thinner

This single-pack clear thinner is specifically formulated for use with Hammercote paints, including Smooth, Satin, and Hammered finishes. It is an essential product for maintaining the cleanliness and performance of brushes and rollers used during the application of these coatings. The thinner effectively removes paint residues, ensuring that tools remain in optimal condition for future use. With a low-odour formulation, it provides a more comfortable working environment, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.

Application Areas

The Hammercote Thinner is ideal for cleaning tools after the application of Hammercote paints. It can be used on brushes, rollers, and other equipment to ensure thorough cleaning without damaging the tools. This thinner is suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces where Hammercote paints are applied, ensuring that tools are ready for repeated use without compromising the quality of subsequent paint jobs.

Usage Instructions

Immediately after using brushes or rollers with Hammercote paints, clean them with this thinner to prevent the paint from drying and hardening on the tools.

Pour the thinner into a suitable container and immerse the brushes or rollers, ensuring the solvent works through the bristles or roller surface to remove all paint residue.

After cleaning, rinse the tools with water and allow them to dry thoroughly before storage.

Ensure good ventilation during use, particularly in confined spaces, to avoid inhalation of fumes.

Do not use this thinner for diluting Hammercote Hammered paint or any other paint not recommended by the manufacturer. Avoid prolonged skin contact and always adhere to safety guidelines as outlined in the product's safety data sheet.

Restrictions and Limitations

This thinner should not be used for thinning Hammercote Hammered paint, as it is designed solely for cleaning tools. It is important to use this product only in well-ventilated areas and to avoid contact with heat sources, sparks, or open flames due to its flammable nature. The thinner should not be used on surfaces directly, as it is formulated specifically for cleaning purposes. Ensure proper disposal of any used solvent in accordance with local regulations.

Recommended Products

For the best results, use Hammercote Thinner with Hammercote paints, including Smooth, Satin, and Hammered finishes.
