Penetrol®
Oil Paint Conditioner
Enhances penetration and adhesion of oil-based paints and primers
Make
interior painting projects flow more smoothly by using Penetrol®
Oil Paint Conditioner with oil or alkyd paints. Penetrol reduces brush
marks and leveling problems with the paint, and reduces fatigue and
frustration with painting projects.
Where
To Use
• Add to oil or alkyd paints to condition it to flow more smoothly
while improving the penetration and adhesion of the paint.
• Improves leveling so you can expect a smoother coat that’s
easier to apply.
Application
• Stir and mix paint thoroughly and apply. When paint “pulls”
or “sets” too fast, add Penetrol until the paint spreads
smoothly and easily.
• Let the brush, roller or spray be the guide. Add enough Penetrol
to make the paint work smoothly, giving sufficient “wet edge”
time.
• Start with about a 10% addition of Penetrol.
• If paint is very thick, or weather hot or cold, 20-30% more
Penetrol may be required. (For example, one quart of Penetrol per gallon
of paint).
• After paint is used for a while, more Penetrol may be needed.
• NOTE: Addition of Penetrol may raise coating VOC. Please check
with local and applicable VOC regulations before using Penetrol.
• The amount of Penetrol needed for easy application of flat,
semi-gloss and gloss paints does not change their appearance.
Dry
Time
• The majority of oil-based paints when applied at room temperature
will be dry (set-to-touch) within 8 to 24 hours.
Clean
Up
• Clean up tools with mineral spirits.
• Danger! Rags, steel wool or waste soaked with this product may
spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Immediately after
use, place rags, steel wool or waste in a sealed, water-filled metal
container.
