Choosing the Right Gun Wash Solvent for Your Shop
When it comes to keeping your spray guns and equipment performing at their best, using a high-quality gun wash solvent makes all the difference. Mike Cohen, private label brand manager for LKQ, shares an overview of the company’s two gun wash and lacquer thinner options designed for fast and efficient cleanup.
Two Solvent Options for Different Market Needs
LKQ offers two formulations of gun wash solvent:
FM B5
This is LKQ’s national rule product. It is available in several sizes, including single gallon containers, five gallon pails, 16 gallon drums, and 55 gallon drums.
FM B11
This is LKQ’s low VOC option for VOC regulated markets. It is available in single gallon containers, five gallon pails, and 55 gallon drums.
Made from 100 Percent Virgin Solvent Blends
Both FM B5 and FM B11 are created from 100 percent virgin solvent blends. This gives them a key performance advantage, helping ensure:
- Super fast cleanup
- Efficient removal of coatings
- Reliable performance across a range of finishes
These solvents break down base coats, clear coats, urethanes, and enamels with ease, making cleanup of spray guns, tools, and equipment quick and effortless.
