About Mineral Spirits
Mineral Spirits, often referred to as White Spirit are chemicals derived from a hydrocarbon mixture of petroleum-based compounds. They are formed by the molecular interaction via distillation of paraffin (aliphatic) and cyclo-propane (alicyclic) with aromatic compounds.
Mineral Spirits are used in production of pains and varnishes, and to prevent corrosion in metal coat surfaces. Mineral Spirits form the base of many paint thinners. In addition, Mineral Spirits can be used for degreasing and cleaning glass and wood surfaces.
