WHITE SPIRIT Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

White spirit, also known as mineral spirits, is a petroleum-derived solvent commonly used in the paint and decorating industry. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and is primarily used as a thinner for oil-based paints and varnishes. White spirit is also employed in cleaning and degreasing applications, particularly for removing oily and greasy substances. Due to its solvent properties, it is effective in dissolving various organic compounds, making it useful in industrial and domestic cleaning products. It should be handled with care due to its flammability and potential health effects from prolonged exposure.
