White spirit is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid that's a mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons.
Application & Uses
White spirit can be released into the environment during its production, transport, and use. Exposure to white spirit can occur through breathing, drinking, or skin contact.
Dosage & Directions for Use
- Cleaning: White spirit is used as an industrial cleaner and paint thinner to clean and degrease surfaces
- Thinning paint: White spirit is used to thin oil-based paints
- Cleaning paint brushes: White spirit is commonly used in households to clean paint brushes
- Solvent: White spirit is used as a solvent in paints, coatings, waxes, varnishes, adhesives, printing inks, and liquid photocopier toners
- Extraction: White spirit is used as an extraction solvent in industry.

Recommended Industrial & Shipboard Areas
RXSOL-19-1484-025 solvents are white spirits. White spirits consist of complex hydrocarbon mixtures obtained by hydro-treating a petroleum cut. White spirits and mineral spirits blends are mixtures of paraffins, cycloparaffins and aromatic hydrocarbons with boiling ranges which typically lie between 150°C and 220°C. They are clear water-white liquids, chemically stable and non-corrosive and possess a mild odour.
Applications : combining good solvent power and average evaporation rate, RXSOL-19-1487-025 products are primarily used in the paint, degreasing, metal and lubricants industries.
RXSOL-19-1487-025 solvents are clear, low-viscosity fluids with a detectable characteristic odour when concentrations approach 1 ppm (parts per million). These solvents are practically insoluble in water, but miscible in most organic solvents.
RXSOL-19-1487-025 solvents are stable, do not corrode standard metals but may however react with strong oxidants.
