Buy Mineral Spirits D100 in Bulk, Drums & IBCs – High Flash Point Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Solvent for Coatings, Degreasing and Marine Maintenance
Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies Mineral Spirits D100, a high flash point, high boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent engineered for industrial applications requiring controlled evaporation, extended open time and enhanced operational safety.
Mineral Spirits D100 is widely specified in protective coatings, corrosion protection systems, industrial degreasing, metal fabrication and marine maintenance where solvent handling profile and evaporation behavior directly influence performance outcomes.
Compared to lower boiling grades within the D-series classification, D100 provides slower evaporation, improved film leveling in alkyd systems and extended dwell time in heavy duty cleaning operations. Its elevated flash point supports safer storage, handling and transport in regulated industrial and port environments.
From our strategic location near the Port of Rotterdam, we coordinate structured supply programs in bulk tankers, ISO tanks, IBC containers and drums, aligned with continuous production schedules and international export requirements.
What is Mineral Spirits D100?
Mineral Spirits D100 (CAS 64742-48-9) is a dearomatized white spirit solvent composed primarily of C9–C13 paraffinic and isoparaffinic hydrocarbons.
It is also known in the market as ShellSol D100, Exxsol D100, heavy white spirit 180/210 or high flash mineral spirits. These trade names are used by different producers for comparable high flash, high boiling aliphatic solvent grades.
Mineral Spirits D100 is produced via petroleum distillation followed by hydro-treatment and is characterized by a typical boiling range of approximately 180 to 210 degrees Celsius and a closed cup flash point generally above 60 degrees Celsius.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Mineral Spirits D100 used for in industrial applications?
Mineral Spirits D100 is used as a high flash point aliphatic solvent in alkyd coatings, corrosion protection primers, industrial degreasing, metal cleaning and marine surface preparation. Its slower evaporation rate supports improved film levelling, longer open time and controlled solvent release in heavy duty industrial environments.
What is the boiling range and flash point of Mineral Spirits D100?
Mineral Spirits D100 typically has a distillation range of approximately 180 to 210 degrees Celsius and a closed cup flash point above 60 degrees Celsius. These properties differentiate it from D40 and D60 grades and influence storage, transport classification and workplace handling procedures.
Is Mineral Spirits D100 the same as ShellSol D100 or Exxsol D100?
ShellSol D100 and Exxsol D100 are commonly used trade names for comparable high flash, dearomatized aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents within the same boiling range classification. Minor specification differences may exist depending on producer, so batch documentation should always be reviewed.
Can Mineral Spirits D100 be supplied in bulk across Europe?
Yes. Mineral Spirits D100 is available in bulk road tankers, ISO tanks, 1000L IBC containers and 200L steel drums. From Rotterdam, we coordinate structured supply programs across Europe and international export markets, including custom packaging upon request.
