Description
White Spirit is a clear, colorless and volatile petroleum-derived liquid used primarily as a solvent. It is composed of a mixture of aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range between 140°C and 200°C. Its low odor and moderate evaporation rate make it ideal for applications where clean, residue-free evaporation is critical. White Spirit is widely used in the formulation of paints, varnishes, and wood preservatives, as well as for thinning oil-based products. It also serves as a cleaning agent for brushes, tools, and surfaces in industrial and household applications.
