Mineral Spirits

mineral spirits

A very volatile thinner which does not leave a thick film. It has less odor than Rectified Turpentine spirits.

Mineral spirits have an advantage over vegetable-based spirits that it keeps better on contact with air. It is a thinner solvent than vegetable-based spirits and evaporates more slowly than Rectified Turpentine spirits. It is used to spread out
oil-based colors or certain varnishes. Because of its high penetrative power, petroleum spirit gets deep into the paint. An excess accentuates the matte finish.
It is also used to clean brushes covered in fresh color and it does not dry out and does not stick like Rectified Turpentine spirits.

ESSENCES

Les solvants permettent de dissoudre les pâtes et facilitent ainsi le travail des couleurs. Il est préférable d'utiliser de l'essence lors de la phase d'ébauche afin d'obtenir un séchage plus rapide et pour respecter la loi
du «gras sur maigre».
