What is SEAJET THINNER P and why choose it
SEAJET THINNER P is a polyurethane thinner designed for use with most polyurethane paints. It is specifically recommended for Seajet 132 Polyurethane Topcoat and Seajet 130 Polyurethane Gloss Varnish, providing controlled dilution and maintaining the performance of the coating system. With a defined flash point and high theoretical VOC content, it is suitable for professional applications where consistent evaporation and film formation are required.

Applications and use cases
SEAJET THINNER P is intended for the dilution and application adjustment of polyurethane coatings. Typical uses include:
- Thinning Seajet 132 Polyurethane Topcoat to achieve the correct spraying or brushing viscosity within the recommended 15–25 percent range.
- Thinning Seajet 130 Polyurethane Gloss Varnish up to 10 percent to optimise flow, levelling and gloss.
- General thinning of compatible polyurethane paints where a solvent with the same base component (2-methoxy-1-methylethyl acetate) is specified.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
The following information summarises the minimum individual protective measures recommended when handling SEAJET THINNER P. Additional measures may be required depending on the application and local regulations.
Engineering controls
- Provide adequate ventilation through local exhaust and general extraction.
- If ventilation is insufficient to keep solvent vapour and particulate levels below occupational exposure limits, use suitable respiratory protection.
Respiratory protection
- If workers may be exposed above the exposure limit, use a respirator to EN 140 equipped with a combined particulate and vapour filter to EN 14387 with an assigned protection factor of at least 10 (for example A2P3).
- During work inside spray booths where ventilation cannot reliably control concentrations, use a compressed air fed respirator during spraying and until concentrations fall below exposure limits.
Hand protection
There is no single glove material that provides unlimited resistance. For repeated or prolonged contact use gloves tested according to EN 374. Examples of recommended gloves include:
- High protection, breakthrough time greater than 480 minutes:
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, minimum thickness 0.062 mm.
- PVA gloves, minimum thickness 0.2–0.3 mm.
- Butyl gloves, minimum thickness 0.3 mm.
- Medium to high protection for breakthrough times between 60 and 480 minutes:
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, minimum thickness 0.062 mm.
- PVA gloves, minimum thickness 0.2–0.3 mm.
- Butyl gloves, minimum thickness 0.3 mm.
- Short term splash protection (10–60 minutes):
- Polyethylene (PE) gloves, minimum thickness 0.062 mm.
- PVA gloves, minimum thickness 0.2–0.3 mm.
- Butyl Viton gloves, minimum thickness 0.70 mm.
- Butyl gloves, minimum thickness 0.3 mm.
- Nitrile gloves for certain conditions, noting lower resistance for some solvents.
- Gloves not suitable for extended contact (breakthrough time less than 10 minutes, examples): natural rubber gloves 0.75 mm, nitrile gloves 0.12 mm, neoprene gloves 0.13 mm.
Replace gloves regularly and immediately if damaged. Use PE gloves as under-gloves in situations with high exposure or where chemical properties are uncertain. Do not use barrier creams as a substitute for gloves; if used, they must not be applied after exposure.
Eye and face protection
- Use safety eyewear tested according to EN 166, designed to protect against liquid splashes.
Skin and body protection
- Wear anti-static clothing made of natural fibre or high-temperature-resistant synthetic fibre.
- Avoid skin contact; remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or recognised skin cleanser. Do not use solvents or thinners on the skin.
Environmental protection
- Do not allow the product to enter drains or watercourses.
