Specialty Epoxy Thinner for EPiC Epoxy 500 and NuPool Epoxy Coatings
NuTech EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner is a specialised solvent blend formulated for thinning NuTech EPiC Epoxy 500 coatings and for cleaning application equipment after use. It is also the specified thinner for the NuTech NuPool Epoxy pool coating system.
Designed specifically for compatible two-pack epoxy coating systems, EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner helps adjust coating viscosity, improve penetration into prepared substrates and achieve the correct application characteristics when thinning is specified.
For NuPool Epoxy applications, EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner is used in the first coat to assist penetration and adhesion to correctly prepared pool surfaces. It is suitable for professional flooring contractors, pool coating applicators, maintenance teams and experienced DIY users working with compatible NuTech epoxy systems.
EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner can also be used for cleaning compatible application equipment and tools immediately after working with EPiC Epoxy 500 coatings.
Available Sizes
| 2L | Convenient size for smaller epoxy coating projects and pool repairs. |
| 4L | Ideal for medium-sized flooring and pool coating projects. |
| 10L | Bulk size for professional contractors and larger coating projects. |

Typical Thinning Guide
| Brush/Roller – First Coat | On bare concrete and masonry, EPiC Epoxy 500 applications may be thinned approximately 20–25% where specified to assist penetration and adhesion. |
| Brush/Roller – Second Coat | Typically no thinning required for EPiC Epoxy 500 unless otherwise specified. |
| Spray Application | Approximately 10–15% thinning may be used for EPiC Epoxy 500 spray application, subject to the relevant product TDS and equipment requirements. |
| NuPool Epoxy – First Coat | NuTech specifies approximately 20% EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner in the first coat of the NuPool Epoxy system. |
Important: Thinning requirements vary by coating, substrate and application method. Always follow the current NuTech Technical Data Sheet for the coating being applied.
Key Applications
- Epoxy floor coating systems
- Concrete floors
- Commercial and industrial flooring
- Concrete swimming pools
- Fibreglass swimming pools
- Epoxy coating equipment clean-up
Using with NuPool Epoxy
When applying NuPool Epoxy, thoroughly mix Part A and Part B according to the specified ratio before adding EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner. For the first coat, NuTech recommends adding approximately 20% thinner and mixing again before allowing the coating to stand for the specified induction period prior to application.
The second coat of NuPool Epoxy is applied without the same first-coat thinning step. Always refer to the current NuPool Epoxy Technical Data Sheet before application.
Trade Tips
- Only add thinner after the epoxy components have been correctly proportioned and thoroughly mixed.
- Measure thinner accurately rather than estimating the quantity.
- Do not over-thin the coating, as this can affect film build and coating performance.
- Follow the individual coating TDS rather than applying one thinning ratio to every epoxy product.
- Clean equipment promptly before residual epoxy cures.
- Ensure adequate ventilation and use appropriate PPE when handling solvent-based thinners.
NuTech EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner FAQs
Q1. What is EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner used for?
A1. It is a specialty solvent blend designed for thinning EPiC Epoxy 500 coatings and cleaning application equipment. It is also specified for use with NuPool Epoxy.
Q2. Can I use EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner with NuPool Epoxy?
A2. Yes. NuTech specifies EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner for the NuPool Epoxy system, including approximately 20% addition to the first coat.
Q3. How much thinner should I add to EPiC Epoxy 500?
A3. For brush or roller application to bare concrete and masonry, approximately 20–25% may be used for the first coat where specified. Spray application may require approximately 10–15%. Always confirm against the current EPiC Epoxy 500 TDS.
Q4. Do I thin the second coat?
A4. EPiC Epoxy 500 generally does not require thinning of the second brush or roller coat. NuPool Epoxy also uses the thinner as part of its first-coat procedure rather than automatically thinning every coat.
Q5. Can I use it to clean my rollers and equipment?
A5. It can be used for clean-up of compatible application equipment used with EPiC Epoxy 500. Clean equipment promptly before the coating cures.
Q6. What does EPiC Epoxy 500 Thinner look like?
A6. It is a colourless, thin liquid.
Q7. What sizes are available?
A7. 2L, 4L and 10L.
