Many of the Sunnyside products offered at West Marine feature VOC compliant formulas that are compliant with CARB, SCAQMD and other clean air regulations. Following are some of these products and the uses for each.
Methyl Ethyl Ketone
Sunnyside Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) is a specialty thinner for epoxies, lacquers and adhesives, as well as polyester resins used in fiberglass repairs. It's a fast evaporating and extremely flammable solvent, so it should be handled with care. MEK is slower drying than acetone and can also be used as an effective remover for ink, adhesives and contact cement.
VOC Compliant Lacquer Thinner
Sunnyside VOC Compliant Lacquer Thinner is a professional strength, general purpose, fast-dry lacquer thinner for use in thinning lacquers and epoxies. Excellent for cleaning brushes, rollers and spray equipment. Good also as a parts cleaner and degreaser.
Acetone
Sunnyside Acetone is a highly effective thinner and remover for epoxy resins, ink, adhesives, and lacquers. It thins and cleans fiberglass resins. Acetone evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. Acetone can also be used to clean up dried latex paint, uncured lacquers, and adhesives.
Sunnyside Marine Paint Remover
Aqua-Strip is a unique, environmentally friendly safe paint remover designed to remove up to 10 layers of marine anti-fouling, top-side and other coatings. A lighter coat will remove 1 to 4 layers quickly while a heavier coat will remove multiple layers over time. It is biodegradable, non-flammable, odor free and contains no methylene chloride or caustic. It can be brushed, rolled or sprayed on with an airless paint sprayer. Aqua-Strip removes most varieties of marine paints and varnishes which are oil or water-based. It will not damage the gelcoat, fiberglass or other surfaces.
Paint Thinner
Sunnyside General Purpose Thinner is VOC compliant and is used for thinning of oil-based paints, varnishes, and enamels. Also effective as a clean-up solvent for brushes, rollers and spray equipment. Can be used to remove dirt and grease from parts and surfaces before painting. Will improve brushing qualities when painting.
