What are Mineral Spirits?
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.
