Versatile Solvent for Industrial NeedsLow Aromatic White Spirit (LAWS) offers utility across multiple industries as a paint thinner, degreasing agent, and cleaning solution. Its moderate evaporation rate and fast drying properties accelerate workflow and ensure surface readiness in short timeframes. Its compatibility with organic solvents makes it especially effective for formulating blends in manufacturing environments.
Safe Handling and StorageLAWS must be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition. With a flash point above 40C and low sulfur content, it provides greater handling safety. This clear, mild-aromatic liquid is stable under normal storage conditions and maintains its quality for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture.
High Purity and Reliable PerformanceComposed of 99% pure petroleum distillates, LAWS is characterized by its water-white appearance, minimal corrosivity, and low aromatic concentration. Its stable chemical profile results in consistent performance as an industrial solvent, ensuring reliable results for cleaning, thinning, and blending applications.
FAQ's of Low Aromatic White Spirit (LAWS):
Q: How can Low Aromatic White Spirit (LAWS) be applied in industrial processes?
A: LAWS is primarily used as a paint thinner, degreasing agent, and cleaning solvent in industrial and commercial settings. It can be applied directly to surfaces or blended with other chemicals, thanks to its solubility in organic solvents and fast-drying characteristics.
Q: What are the main benefits of using LAWS compared to other solvents?
A: LAWS offers a low aromatic content for reduced odor, a high purity level of 99%, quick drying time, and a mild effect on materials. Its clear, water-white appearance and neutral pH also make it suitable for applications where product quality and safety are priority.
Q: When is it necessary to replace or dispose of LAWS?
A: To maintain its effectiveness and safety, LAWS should ideally be used within 12 months from the date of manufacture. After this period, or if the product shows signs of contamination, it should be safely disposed of according to local environmental regulations.
Q: Where should LAWS be stored to ensure maximum shelf life and safety?
A: Store LAWS in a cool, well-ventilated location away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight. Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent evaporation or contamination and always follow recommended storage guidelines for flammable liquids.
Q: What is the process for using LAWS as a degreasing agent?
A: Apply LAWS directly to the greasy or oily surface, allow it to dissolve the contaminants, and then wipe or rinse the area as required. Always use appropriate protective gear and ensure adequate ventilation during use.
Q: Is LAWS compatible with water for cleaning purposes?
A: No, LAWS is insoluble in water. It is intended for use with organic solvents or alone in applications where water-based cleaning is ineffective or unsuitable.
