Safe Studio 2005
Cold temperatures bring closed studios, so
once again Gamblin Artists’ Materials and Wet
Paint present the safe studio promotion in conjunction with
our annual White Sale.
The foundation of Gamblin’s safe studio
products for oil painters is Gamsol. Gamsol is the
safest odorless mineral spirits on the market due to it’s high
Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) and high flash point. PEL is a standard
that rates how long one can be safely exposed to solvents and Gamsol’s
PEL is three times higher than that of turpentine! The higher the PEL,
the slower the evaporation rate into the air and consequently the longer
you can be in your studio before the air is refreshed by ventilation.
Flash point is the lowest temperature at which
a solvent produces vapor in sufficient concentration to create a flammable
mixture. Gamsol’s flash point is 145 degrees; nearly sixty degrees
higher than turpentine and over twenty degrees higher than other mineral
spirits.
Gamsol is also an extremely clean solvent,
free from the impurities of lesser grade spirits, so your paint film
will maintain it’s integrity when you mix Gamsol with your oils.
Gamblin’s painting mediums, Galkyd, Galkyd Lite, Galkyd Slow Drying, Galkyd Gel and Neo Megilp are all formulated using Gamsol, so you are assured that your oil painting
additives are as safe to use as your solvent.
Whether you are using Gamsol as an extender
for your oil paints and mediums or as a cleaner it is a critical component
for your safe studio.
