Solvent Nitro Mc Expert DC 5 L - 5-litre nitro solvent for paint and thinner

Mc Expert Solvent Nitro DC 5 L is a 5-litre nitro solvent formulated for thinning nitrocellulose-based paints and lacquers and for degreasing surfaces prior to painting. Supplied in a 5 L container, this solvent is suitable for use in automotive, furniture and industrial refinishing where fast-evaporating, low-residue thinning and cleaning is required. It can also be used for cleaning painting tools and for removing grease, oil and light contaminants from substrates.

Advantages

The solvent provides consistent viscosity reduction for nitrocellulose systems, enabling smooth application and uniform drying. Its fast evaporation rate helps reduce dust pickup and shortens drying times, while leaving minimal residues that could affect subsequent coatings. The product is packaged in a convenient 5-litre container for workshop use and larger jobs, and is compatible with common metal, wood and previously painted surfaces when used according to instructions.

Suitable for

• Thinning nitrocellulose paints and lacquers
• Degreasing surfaces before painting
• Cleaning brushes, spray guns and other painting tools
• Removing light oil, grease and contaminants from metal and wood

Key specifications

• Volume: 5 litres
• Solvent type: nitrocellulose (nitro) solvent suitable for nitrocellulose-based coatings
• Evaporation: fast‑evaporating formulation for quicker drying
• Residue: low-residue formulation to minimize interference with subsequent coats
• Compatibility: designed for use on metal, wood and previously painted surfaces when used as directed

How to use

Use the solvent in a well‑ventilated area and follow safety instructions on the container. For thinning, add solvent gradually to the nitrocellulose paint or lacquer while stirring until the desired application viscosity is reached, following the coating manufacturer's recommended dilution ratios. For degreasing, apply the solvent to a clean cloth or use a spray application to remove oil, grease and light contaminants, then allow the surface to evaporate and dry completely before applying paint. For cleaning tools, flush brushes and spray equipment with the solvent and allow to dry in a ventilated area.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Avoid inhalation of vapours and keep away from open flames and sparks. Test compatibility on an inconspicuous area before use on sensitive substrates. Store the container tightly closed in a cool, well‑ventilated place away from heat sources.
