Solvents turn paint solids into a paintable paste. They dissolve resins, oils, waxes and fats. But they are also capable to harm vital fat tissue in the human body, i.e. by definition, a solvent can not be totally harmless. However, not always the most aggressive solvent available is required to do the job. Therefore ECO-HOUSE created a 3-part solvent system consisting of solvents & thinners of gradual strength. They allow the painter to make a well-targeted choice regarding the solvent potency and the associated health risks. All Eco-House solvents are free of aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
