Standard Specification for Mineral Spirits (Petroleum Spirits) (Hydrocarbon Dry Cleaning Solvent)

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers four types of hydrocarbon solvents, normally petroleum distillates, used primarily in the coatings and dry-cleaning industries. "Mineral spirits" is the most common name for these solvents. They are also called "Stoddard Solvents" when used for dry cleaning.
1.2 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
1.3 The following hazard caveat pertains only to the test method portion, 6.1.10, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
