White spirit is a chemical compound used to remove greases and other contaminants accumulated on the wall surfaces. It is noted for usage as an extraction solvent, cleaning solvent and degreasing solvent. white spirit is a transparent liquid derived from paraffin and is mainly used for decorating purpose. Many people use white spirit to clean their paint brushes and other drawing equipments. White spirit is a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules obtained by hydro treating of petroleum compounds. It is characterised by carbons in C6-C13 range and a boiling point range between 135 and 200 Degree Celsius. Insolubility in water is the distinguishing chemical property of white spirit compound. Solvents of white spirit do not corrode with metal substances, but may react with stronger oxidants. A white spirit compound combines good solvency power and average evaporation rate. Products of white spirit are used in the industries of paint, degreasing, metal manufacturing and lubricants. White spirit or mineral spirit is a mixture of paraffin, cycloparaffin, as well as aromatic hydrocarbon. Choice of a white spirit compound is dependent upon excellent solvent power and high flashpoint. Lower toxicological and eco toxicological values is a preferred characteristic of white spirit. According to scientific studies in chemistry, white spirit substances generally contain low level of aromatic compounds. Products belonging to white spirit category are intended for industrial applications requiring fast drying rate. Distillation range and flash point have been optimized in a white spirit manufacturing process. White spirit has applications in varnish formulation, industrial cleaning, and aerosol formulations.
