Solvents are chemical compounds used to dissolve various substances. For practical domestic purposes, they are necessary no less than for use in industrial production. On the shelves of construction stores you can see bottles with a funny inscription "Petrol galosh." This is the trade name for an organic solvent often used in everyday life.
Description of physical properties
“Petrol galosh” or “Nefras C2-80 / 120” is a low-volatile transparent colorless liquid with a sharp characteristic odor, obtained by direct distillation of oil. It has an average dissolving power with respect to varnishes and paints, evaporates quickly and at the same time leaves no odor on the treated surface. Technical parameters and physico-chemical parameters are regulated by TU 38.401-67-108-92. In fact, Nefras C2-80 / 120 is a refined gasoline, a solvent with high performance.
Appointment
The main purpose of “Kaloshi” is to dilute varnishes and paints to the desired consistency, clean tools, wash parts, degrease surfaces, etc. In addition, "Kalosha-gasoline" is used to dissolve rubber glue, in the production of mastics and inks for printing, for degreasing leather and fabrics before dyeing, for cleaning electrical equipment and washing metal parts. The popularity acquired by Nefras C2-80 / 120 is due to its high volatility. It evaporates faster than alcohol and acetone and leaves no stains.
Application
To obtain the desired viscosity of the paint composition "Kalosh" added in small portions and mix thoroughly until smooth. To clean and degrease any surface, a cloth moistened with solvent is used. "Nefras C2-80 / 120" is often used for washing parts in the repair of engines, automatic transmissions, various power units.
“Petrol galosh” can serve as fuel for catalytic heating pads, blowtorches, and tourist equipment. It is important that in this case less soot is formed, the smell is not so pronounced, and most importantly, the fuel line is less likely to clog than when using conventional fuel.
Safety conditions
“Gasoline-galosh” is a highly flammable liquid, therefore it is forbidden to use open fire or smoke when working with a solvent. You should also be wary of situations involving sparks from impact. To extinguish flammable solvents, chemical foam from fire extinguishers and carbon dioxide are used.
Since gasoline has a sharp characteristic odor and irritates the respiratory organs, skin and eyes, work in industrial enterprises should be carried out in rooms with active supply and exhaust ventilation, and in everyday life - in a well-ventilated room or in fresh air.
To protect hands, rubber gloves should be worn , and when working with a sprayer of paints and varnishes - use respirators of varying degrees of protection. If solvent gets on your skin, wash it off with plenty of warm, soapy water.
Storage conditions
Nefras C2-80 / 120 is supposed to be stored in tightly closed containers, away from electrical and heating appliances, under protection from sunlight. The rooms should be dry and cool.
