How do Exxsol Fluids compare with traditional mineral spirits or white spirits?
Traditional mineral spirits or white spirits have aromatic concentrations generally between 10 and 25 weight percent. Exxsol Fluids have been dearomatized, and aromatic concentrations are less than about 1 weight percent. They consequently have lower odor and lower order of toxicity. However, they also have less solvency (and correspondingly better elastomeric compatibitility) relative to mineral spirits in the same volatility range.
