White Spirit Supplier

White spirit is a clear liquid made from petroleum that is also referred to as mineral spirits. It consists of a blend of C7–C12 aliphatic, open-chain, or alicyclic hydrocarbons. 

White spirit is one of the most used organic solvent. White spirit is a typical household item that is used for many basic chores such as cleaning paint brushes after use, cleaning equipment and vehicle parts, igniting charcoal grills, and removing adhesive residue from non-porous surfaces.

It is used as a solvent in industry for material extraction, degreasing, and cleaning. Paints, coatings, waxes, varnishes, adhesives, printing inks, and liquid photocopier toners are among the other products that use it. Paints, lacquers, and varnishes account for around 60% of white spirit use in western Europe.
