چکیده
The first of these chemicals, mineral spirits, is known by a number of different names. Benzine, petroleum spirits, mineral turpentine, naphtha and painters naphtha are just a few of the synonyms of mineral spirits. This solvent is actually a mixture of a number of different hydrocarbons. It is distilled from petroleum and is composed of chemicals having generally five to seven carbons. It represents the fraction of crude oil which has a boiling point range from 20 to 60 de grees centigrade. Mineral spirits is generally a volatile, clear, colorless and non-fluorescent liquid. Depending on the specific constituents, the specific gravity ranges from 0.6 to 0.9 grams;milliliter. This solvent is flammable (explosive limits in air between 1 and 6 % ) and presents a dangerous fire risk.
