White Spirit
White Spirit, also known as Mineral Spirit or Mineral Turpentine, is a clear, petroleum-derived liquid commonly used as an organic solvent in painting and various industries. It serves as an inexpensive alternative to vegetable-based turpentine and is widely used for thinning oil-based paints, cleaning brushes, degreasing machine tools, and lubricating cutting processes. White Spirit consists of three types (1, 2, and 3) and three grades (low flash, regular, and high flash), determined by the treatment process and distillation conditions.
Odorless Mineral Spirits (OMS) are further refined to remove toxic aromatic compounds and are suitable for applications like oil painting where close human contact with the solvent occurs. It’s important to note that White Spirit should not be confused with turpentine or kerosene as they have different chemical compositions and properties.
Fortified through a meticulous refinement process, our odorless s mineral spirits (OMS) offer an unparalleled solution by removing toxic aromatic compounds, ensuring maximum safety and customer satisfaction.
