For thinning and cleaning solvent-based products, Adheseal Xylene Solvent provides a fast-evaporating hydrocarbon liquid that breaks down heavy residues, unhardened resins, and cleans work tools on site.
This pure hydrocarbon liquid acts as a highly effective solvent carrier, lowering the viscosity of solvent-based coatings and sealants for smoother application. It dissolves grease, oils, and wet adhesives, evaporating fully at 100% volatile by volume to leave surfaces clean and dry. Because it is highly mobile and insoluble in water, it effectively displaces moisture and cuts through stubborn contaminants on metal and masonry before sealer application.
Adheseal Xylene Solvent is a Scheduled Poison S5 (Caution) and a Class 3 Flammable Liquid. Keep all containers standing upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight, away from heat, open flames, and foodstuffs. Ensure the work area is ventilated to maintain exposure levels below the Safe Work Australia TWA of 80 ppm (350 mg/m³) for Xylene. When handling, wear safety shoes, chemical goggles, an apron, and suitable protective gloves (nitrile rubber is recommended for intermittent contact).
