Overview
Mineral turpentine oil (MTO, also called white spirit) is a petroleum distillate with moderate evaporation and low odour — the standard thinner for alkyd enamels and decorative solvent-based paints. Xylene (mixed isomers) and toluene are aromatic solvents with much stronger solvency for resins, rubber and binders, and faster evaporation.
Together they cover most solvent needs in coatings: MTO for brushing paints and cleaning, xylene for industrial coatings and agrochemical emulsifiable concentrates, and toluene for adhesives, inks and as a reaction solvent. All are flammable and are shipped as dangerous goods.
