White spirit is a special chemical substance that is used in many industries. White spirit is a colorless and flammable substance that is used to dilute and create transparency in industries such as painting and painting various types of equipment. Due to the fact that white spirits have very interesting chemical structures, they also have various applications in various industries. To learn more about WhiteSprite and its structure and features, stay with us in this article.
What is White Spirit?
White spirit, which is also called mineral spirit, solvent 402, and solvent 403, is a colorless liquid that is used as an organic and mineral solvent in all kinds of paintings. It can be said that one of the most widely used color solvents in the painting and decoration industry is white spirit. Most painters and artists use white spirit to clean and wash their brushes of other colors. White spirit has various properties that make this solvent one of the most widely used organic industrial solvents. Among the most important features of this material is its minus 40 degree Celsius melting point. The boiling point of white spirit also varies between 150 and 200 degrees Celsius.
Most people know white spirits as petroleum solvents. White spirits, which are mainly AW group products, are used for various purposes. Solvents, diluents and washing agents are among the uses of white spirits. In addition to the main applications, white spirits are also used as additives and side materials in some industries. Resin, varnish, adhesive, thinner, wire, wax and polish, leather and ink industries are among the important industries where white spirits are used as side additives.
The formation of white spirits from compounds of aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons from C7 to C12 allows white spirits to be used as a solvent in aerosols, paints, chemicals, varnishes and polishes. 60% of all white spirit produced in Western Europe is used in varnish and polishing industries.
The hydrocarbon structure in white spirits makes the amount of smell and the functional capacity of white spirits different from each other. The presence of aromatic hydrocarbon chains, which include xylene and toluene, makes the smell and performance of each white spirit different from the other. Aromatic hydrocarbons xylene and toluene are present in small amounts in white spirits. In fact, by removing the aromatic hydrocarbons, odorless white spirits are produced that can be used in higher capacities for solubilization.
As mentioned, white spirits are classified as aromatic petroleum substances and are one of the most important and practical industrial solvents that are used as solvents in various industries. In addition to diluting properties, these materials also have cleaning properties and are used to clean grease and excess oils in mechanical parts and machinery.
Turpentine is a substance that most artists and painters use to clean their paintbrushes and brushes. Turpentine is a colorless, allergenic and flammable substance that can cause skin allergies on people’s hands.
Since vegetable turpentine used in painting can cause allergies in people, it is suggested to use white spirit instead of turpentine.Since vegetable turpentine used in painting can cause allergies in people, it is suggested to use white spirit instead of turpentine. Compared to turpentine, white spirit has a lower flash point and less toxicity. It should be noted that artists and painters should use white sprites with higher grades to create more effects.
By removing some of the hydrocarbon chains in white spirits, it is possible to reduce their odor and aromatic compounds, and this type of white spirit can be used where humans are in close contact with the solvent. The hydrocarbon compounds with shorter chain and less volatility make this type of white spirits to have no unpleasant smell.
Although white spirit is not used as fuel, it can be used as kerosene in manual gas stoves due to its flammability; Because this substance is lighter than kerosene.
As we said before, white spirit has cleaning and cleaning properties in addition to diluting properties. For this reason, this substance is used in fuel and engine oil additives, which dissolve the oils and greases in the car.
White spirits are compounds with hydrocarbon chains and aromatic compounds, which are classified into three types with different grades. Different grades of white spirit include three types of sulfurization (type 1), solvent extraction (type 2) and hydrogenation (type 3). All three different grades of white spirit have certain important features, which are:
-Normal grade
-High ignition degree
– Low ignition degree
Important safety issues for using WhiteSpirit
White spirit is one of the aromatic petroleum substances that is often known as a stimulant. The presence of hydrocarbon and aromatic compounds in this substance has made white spirit one of the most sensitive chemical substances. If people are not familiar with the safety aspects of using white sprites, it may cause dangers and unfortunate events. Therefore, before consuming white spirits, it is important to know about the safety issues and tips about them. In the following, we will mention some of these items and safety tips.
Putting white spirit in the mouth and taking it orally causes people to have stomach upset, abdominal pain, and in some cases it causes heart and respiratory damage and even coma in people.
Inhalation of white spirit is dangerous and causes irritation of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach upset and dizziness.
Skin contact with White Spirit causes skin damage and dry skin. Long-term skin contact causes skin inflammation and blisters or skin dermatitis, which is also called contact dermatitis.
Contact of white spirit with the eyes also causes redness and irritation of the eyes, and if it continues, it will cause more serious problems.
In general, exposure to white spirit for a long time causes people to suffer from central nervous system depression and have acute complications. Also, being exposed to white spirit for a long time can have symptoms like drug addiction and cause the target person to become unconscious.
