What SOLVENT N.910 is and why choose it
SOLVENT N.910 (Thinner 910) from International Náutica is a fast spray solvent based on a blend of organic solvents. It is specifically designed for thinning and/or cleaning spray equipment used with professional polyurethane topcoats and undercoats, epoxy primers and related fairing compounds in the International range. Thanks to its optimized evaporation rate, it supports spray application over a wide temperature range, providing smooth finishes and reliable application characteristics.
Used correctly, SOLVENT N.910 helps you obtain optimum spray results, especially in combination with systems such as Perfection, Perfection Pro, Interprime 820, Interprime 880 and Interspray 900, while also serving as an efficient wipe-down cleaner before painting.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
General exposure control
- Use SOLVENT N.910 only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust or general extraction may be required to keep vapour levels below occupational exposure limits.
- Prevent the build-up of explosive atmospheres; ventilation systems should be explosion-proof.
- Observe good industrial hygiene: wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking or smoking.
Eye and face protection
- Wear chemical splash goggles or equivalent eye protection conforming to approved standards whenever there is a risk of liquid splashes or vapour exposure to the eyes.
Hand protection
- When a risk assessment indicates hand contact, use chemical-resistant, impermeable gloves meeting relevant standards.
- For frequent or prolonged contact, gloves of protection class 6 (penetration time > 480 min according to EN 374) are recommended, e.g. Viton or nitrile with a thickness ≥ 0.38 mm.
- For short, occasional contact, at least protection class 2 (> 30 min according to EN 374) nitrile gloves with thickness ≥ 0.12 mm are recommended.
- Replace gloves regularly and immediately if any sign of degradation or damage is observed.
Skin and body protection
- Wear protective clothing covering body, arms and legs to prevent skin contact.
- Where there is a risk of ignition due to electrostatic charges, use anti-static protective clothing including coveralls, boots and gloves with antistatic properties (see EN 1149).
- Select additional protective garments based on the specific task and associated risks.
Respiratory protection
- If ventilation is insufficient to maintain vapour concentrations below exposure limits, use an appropriate respiratory protective device that meets applicable standards, selected according to a formal respiratory protection program.
Additional cutaneous and environmental precautions
- Select suitable protective footwear and any other cutaneous protection required by the task.
- Control emissions from ventilation and process equipment to comply with environmental legislation; scrubbers or filters may be required to reduce emissions.
