Nutech PaveCoat Thinners
Optimise the performance of your PaveCoat concrete sealers with Nutech PaveCoat Thinners—a purpose-built solvent for dilution, penetration, and equipment cleaning.
Product Overview
PaveCoat Thinners are ready-made solvents specifically formulated to:
- Enhance penetration of PaveCoat sealers into smooth or dense concrete surfaces
- Maintain consistent flow and gloss during application
- Serve as a clean-up solvent for brushes, rollers, spray equipment, and spills
Dilution Guidelines
| Surface Type | Thinner Rate (PaveCoat:Thinner) | Purpose |
| Smooth or steel-trowelled surface | Up to 50% | Improves penetration and adhesion |
| Rough or stipple-finish concrete | Around 20% | Ensures sealer access into textured surfaces |
| Previously sealed or cured concrete | 0–10% | Reactivation and light dilution for recoats |
First coat dilution is recommended for dense surfaces to ensure deep penetration and adhesion.- Subsequent coats typically use neat sealer without thinning.
- In hot weather, adding 2 L thinner per 20 L sealer can reduce bubbling
Applications & Compatibility
PaveCoat Thinners are compatible with:
- Clear, coloured, matt and high-gloss PaveCoat sealers in 10 L, 20 L, 200 L and bulk formats
- Utilised in PaveCoat Cure & Seal systems for green concrete finishing
- Applicable to P2 or P3 slip-rated finishes when used in conjunction with AntiSlip additives
Key Benefits
- Improved adhesion – Thinning ensures sealer penetrates dense or smooth surfaces.
- Enhanced finish – Promotes consistent spread and gloss on application.
- Cleaner application – Helps eliminate brush marks and pooling.
- Efficient cleaning – Removes residual sealer from tools and equipment.
- Controlled finish – Reduces bubbling in hot conditions.
Safety & Handling
- Highly flammable solvent; keep away from heat, sparks, flames and store in a cool, ventilated area
- Use non‑sparking tools and approved respirators in poor ventilation
- Wear protective gloves and eyewear; wash skin after contact .
- Clean spills promptly; store in locked containers as per SDS protocols .
Nutech PaveCoat Thinners ensure your PaveCoat sealing system performs flawlessly—from initial coat penetration to the final coat’s lustre. Compatible with all sealer variants, they offer precise dilutions to match substrate profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Pavecoat Thinners used for?
Nutech Pavecoat Thinners is specifically formulated for thinning Nutech Pavecoat sealer to the correct viscosity for spray application, and for cleaning tools and equipment after use.
2. Can I use generic thinners with Pavecoat?
It is strongly recommended to use only Nutech Pavecoat Thinners. Generic thinners may contain incompatible solvents that can affect drying, adhesion, and finish quality.
3. How much thinners should I add?
Add sparingly — typically 5–10% by volume. Over-thinning reduces the solids content and compromises the protective film build. Only thin when necessary for application method.
4. Can I use this for cleaning brushes and rollers?
Yes — Pavecoat Thinners is excellent for cleaning application tools used with Nutech Pavecoat sealer. Clean tools immediately after use for best results.
5. What safety precautions are needed?
This is a flammable solvent. Use only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Wear solvent-resistant gloves and safety glasses. Keep away from ignition sources.
