Overview

Mineral Spirits Odorless Solvent Thinner (CAS 64742-48-9) is a refined petroleum hydrocarbon mixture that provides excellent solvency power with significantly reduced odor compared to traditional mineral spirits. This clear, colorless liquid features a boiling range of 149-199°C and maintains the cleaning effectiveness of conventional mineral spirits while offering improved workplace comfort through reduced aromatic content. With its balanced evaporation rate and superior degreasing properties, this versatile solvent serves as an essential component in industrial, commercial, and professional applications.

Key Applications

  • Paint Thinning: Dilutes oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes to achieve optimal viscosity and brushability while maintaining color integrity and drying characteristics
  • Industrial Degreasing: Removes heavy oils, grease, and hydrocarbon residues from machinery, metal parts, and manufacturing equipment with excellent penetration
  • Cleaning Solvent: Cleans tools, equipment, and surfaces contaminated with paints, adhesives, or petroleum-based substances in workshop and maintenance operations
  • Laboratory Applications: Functions as an extraction solvent and cleaning agent in analytical procedures where low odor is essential for worker comfort

Safety & Handling

This material has a flash point range of 38-66°C, requiring careful handling around ignition sources. Always use in well-ventilated areas or with appropriate exhaust ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation. Personal protective equipment should include chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing. Avoid prolonged skin contact and inhalation of vapors. Keep containers closed when not in use and ground equipment to prevent static discharge.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is below 25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizers, acids, and reactive metals. Use appropriate grounding and bonding procedures when transferring material. Properly stored material maintains quality for extended periods when protected from contamination and temperature extremes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is odorless mineral spirits and what are its common uses?
Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) are highly refined aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents used as paint thinners, general degreasers, and extraction/solvent media in industrial and laboratory settings. They are chosen where lower odor and lower aromatic content are needed for cleaning, formulation, or parts-washing applications.
How should I store odorless mineral spirits and what is the typical shelf life?
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources in tightly closed containers and secondary containment per local regulations. When kept sealed and free from contamination, shelf life is generally 1–3 years depending on grade; consult the supplier for confirmed stability data.
What safety precautions and PPE are recommended when handling mineral spirits?
Use adequate ventilation, avoid inhalation and skin contact, and wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing as needed. Keep away from heat or open flames, follow the product SDS for first-aid and spill-response procedures, and dispose of waste according to local regulations.
What do the different concentrations or grades of mineral spirits mean?
Grades vary by level of refinement and aromatic content—consumer/household grades, low-odor/highly refined grades, and industrial/petrochemical blends—affecting solvency power and smell. Choose higher-refined, low-aromatic grades for low odor and sensitive applications, and stronger industrial blends where maximum solvency is required.
What documentation is available for odorless mineral spirits?
Suppliers typically provide a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), and Certificate of Analysis (COA) on request, which detail hazard information, physical/chemical properties, and batch-specific test results. Regulatory documents for transport and environmental compliance are also available as needed.
How is mineral spirits shipped and what packaging options are common?
Packaging options include metal drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), pails, and retail cans; packaging and labeling comply with applicable transport regulations. Shipping classification and restrictions depend on regional transport rules and the product's flash point/grade, so consult the SDS and carrier requirements before shipment.
Is odorless mineral spirits compatible with plastics, rubbers and metals?
Mineral spirits are generally compatible with most metals and glass but can soften or swell certain elastomers and dissolve some plastics (e.g., polystyrene and some rubber compounds). Always perform a small-material compatibility test or consult the manufacturer for compatibility data before use on critical substrates.
What technical specifications should I check when buying mineral spirits?
Key specs include aromatic content, distillation/boiling range, flash point, density, sulfur content, refractive index, color, and water content; these determine solvency, safety, and suitability for your application. Request the TDS and COA from the supplier for exact numbers for the chosen grade.
Which industries and laboratory applications commonly use odorless mineral spirits?
Common uses include coatings and paint manufacturing, metal degreasing and parts cleaning, adhesives and sealant formulation, printing, and general laboratory solvent work for cleaning or extraction where low odor is desired. Industries range from automotive and aerospace to industrial maintenance and research labs.
How can I purchase odorless mineral spirits and what should I ask suppliers?
Contact chemical distributors or manufacturers for availability in desired packaging and quantities; ask for the grade, SDS, TDS, COA, lead time, pricing, and shipping/handling requirements. Also confirm shelf life, storage recommendations, and any regulatory or import/export documentation needed for your location.
