Description

Stoddard Solvent is a high-purity, highly volatile petroleum distillate widely recognized as a standard industrial cleaning and degreasing agent. Its balanced evaporation rate and excellent solvency power make it a critical component for removing oils, greases, and contaminants without leaving residue. This solvent is essential for manufacturers and maintenance operations across numerous sectors, including metal fabrication, automotive, textiles, and dry cleaning, where effective and reliable cleaning is paramount for quality and efficiency.

Application

• Metal Parts Degreasing & Cleaning: Primary solvent for vapor degreasing and cold cleaning of machined components, stampings, and engine parts.
• Dry Cleaning Fluid: A traditional and effective solvent used in commercial dry cleaning operations for fabric care.
• Paint Thinner & Brush Cleaner: Used to thin oil-based paints, varnishes, and enamels, and for cleaning application tools.
• Industrial Spot Cleaner: For targeted removal of grease, tar, and adhesive spots from textiles, carpets, and upholstery.
• Extraction Solvent: Employed in the extraction of oils and fats from various materials in laboratory and small-scale industrial processes.
• Carrier & Diluent: Serves as a carrier fluid in pesticides, herbicides, and other formulated chemical products.

Quality Control

Our Stoddard Solvent is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. It meets key industry specifications for parameters such as distillation range, flash point, and aromatic content. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and safety data is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your specific application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
