White Spirit

Description

White Spirit is a versatile petroleum-derived solvent widely used in industrial, commercial, and domestic applications. Produced through the distillation and refining of crude oil, White Spirit primarily consists of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (C9 to C16). Known for its excellent solvency and controlled evaporation, it is essential in the paint, coatings, and cleaning industries.

Technical Specifications:

Test Parameters	Value	Test Method
Total Sulfur	Max 1000 ppm	–
Flash Point (°C)	38-42	–
Color	0	ASTM D-1500
Density (Kg/m³)	775-779	ASTM D-4052

Key Features:

• High Purity: Refined to minimize sulfur and impurities, ensuring compatibility with sensitive applications.
• Controlled Evaporation: Steady boiling range (148-199°C), making it ideal for coatings, degreasing, and varnishing.
• Non-Staining: Colorless (ASTM D1500 – 0), ensuring no discoloration in final products.
• Moderate Flammability: Flash point between 38-42°C, providing a safer alternative to lower flash point solvents.

Applications:

• Paint Thinner & Degreaser: Essential for thinning oil-based paints, varnishes, and lacquers.
• Metal Cleaning: Used for surface preparation and degreasing in automotive, aerospace, and industrial maintenance.
• Printing Inks & Adhesives: Key solvent for resin formulations and ink thinning.
• Household Use: Effective in cleaning brushes, tools, and removing tar or wax deposits.

Benefits:

• Cost-Effective: Provides strong solvency at a competitive price.
• Reduced Hazard: Safer handling with a higher flash point than many alternatives.
• Versatile Packaging: Available in bulk, drums, and custom packaging to meet various volume requirements.
• Eco-Conscious Option: Low sulfur levels reduce environmental impact and enhance workplace safety.

Packaging Options:

• Steel Drums – For large-scale industrial use.
• Plastic Containers – Suitable for smaller, more controlled applications.
• Bulk Delivery – For high-volume operational needs.
