CAN/CGSB 1.70-99 ✓ Most Recent [ Withdrawn ]

This standard applies to a high-solvency thinner for use with synthetic resin finishes.

The thinner is suitable for the general thinning of synthetic resin base finishes requiring a higher solvent power than provided by thinner conforming to CAN/CGSB-1.4, but not as high as thinner conforming to CAN/CGSB-1.94.

It is particularly suited for thinning materials by spray application because it evaporates faster than thinner conforming to CAN/CGSB-1.4 and the sprayed materials should show less tendency to sag.

The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of material and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any existing applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
