Winsor & Newton offers a choice of solvents for diluting oils and alkyds and for cleaning brushes and equipment. English Distilled Turpentine is a traditional solvent, with characteristic odor and good wetting properties. Highly refined from essential oil, it is water white, volatile and flammable. Sansodor is a less toxic, low odor alternative to Turpentine. It?s slow to evaporate, making it highly useful in controlling Griffin Alkyd and oil colors, and has low flammability.
