White spirit, also known as mineral spirits
in the US, is one of the solvents that is usually used for cleaning machinery
and tools that have built up dirt and grease. It is also used for thinning the
oil-based solutions, like varnishes and paints. There are various benefits of utilizing
mineral spirit over paint thinner, but the difference between both are
moderately subtle. Paint thinner is a type of white spirit, which is a less
pure kind and contains different solvents as well. White spirit is a good deal
over paint thinner, but is preferable based on the application.
#1
White Spirit Is Less Toxic Than Paint Thinner
Paint thinner is a toxic solvent, which can
cause terrible side effects, even death if you breathe in too much. As paint
thinner consists of several solvents, this makes it even more harmful. However,
white spirit msds on the other side has a lower odor and less toxicity, which
makes it easier for the people to use it.
#2
White Spirit Is More Effective Than Paint Thinner
As the white spirit is a more refined form
of paint thinner, it is more effective in terms of cleaning capabilities and
solvent properties than paint thinner. This is because the white spirit is a
way more purified form of paint thinner. That’s why many painters choose to use
white spirit due to its ability to instantly clean the painting utensils.
When it comes to cost, the paint thinner is
less expensive than white spirit. White spirit is almost double the cost of
paint thinner because it has to pass through more refinement process than paint
thinner. This refining process makes it less noxious and more effective. Because
it is better than paint thinner, it can pay off for the price difference.
