Professional non-flammable eco-solvent – ARCANE 226 US specially formulated for acrylic and glycerophtalic paints
Non-aqueous solvent with high solvency power, designed for cleaning application equipment used with water-based (acrylic) or solvent-based (glycerophtalic) paints. Non-flammable, not classified as hazardous, effective and compliant with current environmental standards.
Description
ARCANE 226 US is a professional eco-solvent formulated from high-polarity oxygenated hydrocarbons, giving it enhanced solvency power for difficult-to-remove paints such as acrylics and glycerophtalics. Non-aqueous yet water-dilutable, it represents a modern alternative to regulated traditional solvents (chlorinated, aromatic, fluorinated). It is perfectly suited for cleaning application tools (brushes, rollers, spray guns, nozzles…) while ensuring optimal safety for the user.
