The Standard Thinner & Cleaner

Eco-House Xtra Mild Citrus Thinner combines the solving action of natural orange peel oil in food quality with highly purified mineral oils, which are 100% volatile and free of aggressive aromatics.

Isoparaffinic mineral oils are commonly used in pharmaceuticals, baby oils, sun tan lotions, hairsprays and in animal feed. According to a study conducted by the American National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association, they are by far less involved in the formation of smog than any other solvent due to their chemical inertness.
Natural orange peel oil in food quality is the actual solvent component. It is used in small amounts in order to reduce the risk of a sensitizing effect.

In ECO-HOUSE Natural Products only low-risk solvents such as water, alcohol, mineral oils in cosmetics quality and precious essential oils are used ….. and all ingredients are listed on the label.

CHARACTERISTICS
High-quality paint thinner & low-toxicity solvent with a pleasant fragrance of natural orange peels. 100% volatile

WHERE TO USE IT
For thinning and clean-up of all Eco-House oils, resins, varnishes and waxes, but may also be used with most conventional oil-based paint products and for clean-up of tars, gums, caulking, etc.

Xtra Mild Citrus Thinner is also the solvent of choice for fine art painters, because it has a pleasant fragrance and minimal health risk. Many fine painters also like Eco-House Citrus Thinner, because it dries slower than turpentine, keeping the paint workable for a longer period of time.
