Teamac antifouling thinners No 17

[Iliade]

I forgot to order the appropriate thinners and plan to antifoul tomorrow.

Does anyone know what this stuff actually is please? I have read the Coshh sheet, but it's unsurprisingly obscure:

I reckon it's basically white spirit. You could only use it for compatible antifoul. Most antifoul paint needs Thinners No 3.

If you read the safety data sheet you will find that it is mostly C9 aromatic hydrocarbons and some C9 to C11 aliphatic hydrocarbons

I don't know how you interpret that as " basically white spirit"

To me it probably means mostly trimethylbenzene and some white spirit
But I agree International Thinner no 3 may well be OK , at least as brush cleaner ( It is mostly white spirit with some trimethylbenzene)

Thank you chaps. Enough info to convince me to order the right stuff and wait for another day to antifoul.

( I want to put only a thin layer on as I plan to coppercoat when the weather is more conducive)

I was considering the flash point data.
