Cleaning & Degreasing
Used in workshops, garages, and metal shops to clean equipment and surfaces.
Rotterdam Chemicals Group supplies Mineral Spirits in grades D40, D60, D70 and D80. These aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents are widely used in cleaning, paint thinning, metal degreasing, and parts washing. Our products are REACH compliant and delivered worldwide from our Rotterdam hub in drums, IBCs and bulk formats.
Mineral Spirits, also known as white spirits or aliphatic solvents, are petroleum-derived clear liquids made up primarily of alkanes. Grades D40 through D80 refer to different boiling ranges and evaporation profiles. These solvents are valued for their low odor, moderate solvency and safe use in applications such as degreasing, cleaning, and thinning of oil-based coatings.

What’s the difference between D40 and D80?
D40 evaporates faster, while D80 offers longer drying time and a higher flash point.
Are Mineral Spirits flammable?
Yes. All grades are flammable and require safe handling and storage.
Can Mineral Spirits be used for cleaning electronics?
No. They are better suited for mechanical parts and metal surfaces.
Are these products odorless?
We offer low-odor grades. Some grades may still have mild solvent scent.
