Acetone is the fast-evaporating solvent for cleaning polyurethane application equipment and thinning acetone-based adhesives, epoxies, and polyester resins.
Adheseal Acetone is engineered as a high-performing solvent for both precise cleaning and effective thinning. Use it to efficiently remove polyurethane-based adhesives from tools and application equipment. It also serves as a versatile thinner for acetone-based PVC and polyurethane adhesives, epoxies, lacquers, and polyester resins, ensuring optimal workability and viscosity for your specific application. This VOC-exempt solvent dissolves many natural and synthetic gums, waxes, oils, and dyes, and mixes readily with water, alcohols, esters, ethers, and other organic solvents.
The properties of Adheseal Acetone are tailored for efficient solvent tasks:
Adheseal Acetone proves effective across various trade-specific applications:
Adheseal Acetone is classified as a Hazard Class III material, demanding careful handling due to its extremely flammable nature. It is VOC-Exempt (0 g/L), aligning with environmental standards. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive health, safety, handling, and regulatory information, particularly concerning ventilation and ignition source control.
Q: Can I use Adheseal Acetone to clean epoxy applicators?
A: Yes. Its rapid-dissolving capability makes it highly effective for cleaning uncured epoxy from tools and mixing vessels. Always use in a well-ventilated area to avoid vapour build-up.
Q: Is this product safe for polystyrene foam substrates?
A: No. Acetone will dissolve polystyrene foam. Avoid using it for cleaning or thinning near foam insulation or foam mouldings.
Q: What is the evaporation rate of Adheseal Acetone?
A: It evaporates very rapidly—slower than ether but significantly faster than most commercial solvents. This makes it ideal for quick drying without residue.
Q: Can I use it to thin polyester or PU adhesives?
A: Absolutely. It’s compatible with acetone-based PU and PVC adhesives and polyester resins used in marine or auto fibreglass applications.
Q: Is this solvent environmentally friendly?
A: Yes. It contains zero VOCs and is considered VOC-exempt under Australian emission standards, making it suitable for environmentally sensitive applications.
