Crown Xylene Slow-Dry Solvents

Crown Xylene Slow-Dry Solvent is a professional-grade solution designed for use in thinning paints, enamels, varnishes, alkyd resins, and specialty coatings. Known commonly as xylene, this solvent is often specified by coating manufacturers because of its ability to deliver smooth application and consistent performance. With an evaporation rate approximately five times slower than toluene, Crown Xylene is particularly effective where extended working time is beneficial, helping to reduce issues like streaking, uneven flow, or premature drying.

In addition to its role as a reliable thinner, Crown Xylene is also well-suited for cleaning and degreasing applications. Its slower evaporation allows it to work more thoroughly on surfaces where a quick-flashing solvent like toluene may not be as effective. This makes it a preferred choice for industrial and specialty maintenance tasks, offering both versatility and dependable results.

Formulated to meet ASTM Specification D 843, Crown Xylene ensures quality and consistency in every use. Whether you are thinning specialty coatings for smoother application, restoring tools and equipment with a deep clean, or preparing surfaces for finishing, this slow-dry solvent provides the performance you need. For contractors, painters, and industrial professionals who demand reliable results, Crown Xylene is an essential addition to any supply kit.
