sennelier mineral spirit

SENNELIER MINERAL SPIRIT

Highly volatile mineral diluent that does not leave a greasy film. Less odorous than turpentine essence.

Mineral essence which has the advantage over vegetable essences that it keeps better in contact with air.

Less greasy solvent than vegetable essences, evaporates less quickly than turpentine essence.

It is used to extend oil-based colours or some varnishes. Thanks to its high penetrating power, the mineral spirit permeates deep into the paint.

Too much will increase the matting result.

It is also used to clean brushes smeared with fresh colours, because it does not dry out and does not rub off like turpentine essence.
