White Spirit, also called mineral spirits or turpentine, is a solvent known for its cleaning and degreasing properties. It is petroleum-derived and commonly used in household, automotive, industrial, and artistic applications.
White Spirit is often used as a thinner for oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains. It helps to reduce the viscosity of the paint or varnish, making it easier to apply and providing better flow and leveling.
White spirit is an effective solvent for cleaning and degreasing surfaces, tools, and equipment. It can remove grease, oil, dirt, and grime from various surfaces, such as metal, plastic, glass, and wood.

The main application of 402 solvent is as a solvent in paint thinners and varnishes.
White Spirit, or Mineral Spirit, consists of paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ranging from 7 to 12 carbons. It has a distillation range between 200–142°C and a boiling point from 105–205°C. Additionally, it functions as a solvent in paint dryers and metal surface degreasing. Furthermore, White Spirit is used in furniture and shoe waxes, fabric washing, and fabric printing. It also dissolves turpentine ore and naphthalene oil. Moreover, it serves as a general paint thinner for various applications. The liquid is characterized by its clear, water-like appearance, mild odor, chemical stability, and non-corrosive nature.
The most important and main application of 402 solvent is in paints and varnishes and it is one of the most common solvents in the paint industry. As a solvent in paint and varnish thinners (60% of the total consumption of this substance in Europe is related to paints, varnishes and The nail becomes a nail)
