White spirit (1,0 L)

White spirit, also known as petroleum ether, is a highly flammable, colorless liquid composed primarily of aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is often used as a solvent, degreaser or cleaning agent. White spirit dissolves fats, oils, some types of glue and paint, but is less aggressive than other solvents such as turpentine or thinner. This makes it suitable for cleaning delicate materials or surfaces that could be damaged by stronger chemicals.

White spirit is also used in hobby applications, for removing grease stains from various surfaces (on suitable materials) and in some industrial processes. Because it evaporates quickly and leaves little residue, it is a useful agent for various cleaning tasks. Nevertheless, it is important to use gasoline in well-ventilated areas and avoid direct contact with the skin and inhalation of the vapors due to its potentially harmful effects on health.
