White Spirit
A common petroleum solvent is a mixture of light to medium hydrocarbons obtained from the distillation process of crude oil. It is used as a general solvent in a wide range of industries and is known for its ability to dissolve fats, oils, waxes, and resins.
It is a clear, colorless liquid that emits a faint petroleum odor. Its boiling point is usually within a certain range that allows it to be used in various processes. Due to its high solubility, it is used in the formulation of paints, varnishes, detergents, and cleaners. It is also used in the wood and automotive industries to clean surfaces and tools.
