STODDARD SOLVENT Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Stoddard solvent, also known as mineral spirits, is a clear, petroleum-derived liquid commonly used as a paint thinner and industrial solvent. It is composed of a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons and is widely employed in cleaning, degreasing, and thinning oil-based paints and varnishes. Stoddard solvent is valued for its low toxicity, moderate evaporation rate, and effectiveness in dissolving oils, fats, and waxes. Proper handling and storage of Stoddard solvent are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it is flammable and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with Stoddard solvent. Its versatility and effectiveness as a solvent make it a valuable product in the painting, automotive, and manufacturing industries, although its use requires careful control to prevent hazards and ensure safety.
