Overview
Engineered with low aromatic content, our high-purity white spirit is a versatile organic solvent widely recognized for its performance in paint formulations, lacquer production, and the blending of commercial thinners and industrial solvents.
Key features
- Milder Smell & Safer: Very low aromatic content, making it less toxic and much less strong-smelling than regular solvents.
- Great Solvent Power: Easily dissolves oils, fats, waxes, and resins.
- Made for Paints & Thinners: Blends smoothly to thin down paints, varnishes, and lacquers without ruining the finish.
- Even Drying: Evaporates at a steady rate, helping paint dry smoothly without leaving sticky residue.
- Strong Cleaner: Quickly cuts through grease and grime on tools, auto parts, and machinery.
Applications
- Paints & Wood Finishes: Used to thin down oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains so they brush or spray on smoothly.
- Making Thinners: Used as a key ingredient to manufacture commercial paint thinners.
- Cleaning & Degreasing: Great for wiping grease, oil, and grime off tools, machinery, and metal parts.
- Inks: Used as a carrier liquid in printing inks so they flow correctly.
- Polishes: Mixed into floor waxes, shoe polish, and furniture creams to help spread the wax evenly.
