Low Aromatic White Spirit (LAWS)

Description

Low Aromatic White Spirit (LAWS) is a transparent, colorless aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent refined to contain less than 0.1% aromatics, making it a safer, low-odor alternative to standard white spirit. With a high flash point (≥62°C), LAWS is ideal for use in paints, varnishes, cleaning solutions, ink formulations, degreasers, and adhesives.

Mert güler ticaret offers industrial-grade LAWS with consistently low toxicity and minimal odor, making it suitable for use in both industrial and consumer-safe products. We ensure strict adherence to environmental and safety regulations with complete documentation, bulk export-ready packaging, and custom labeling.

Fractional Distillation & Aromatics Reduction

• Crude petroleum undergoes atmospheric distillation.

• Mid-boiling fractions are isolated and hydrotreated.

• Aromatics are reduced via catalytic hydrogenation, yielding low-odor white spirit.

This results in a refined, stable, low-aromatic solvent ideal for sensitive industrial use.

• 165kg steel drums

• 1000L IBC tanks

• ISO tank containers (bulk orders)

• Custom labeling available

 Paints & Coatings

• Solvent and thinner for oil-based paints and alkyd resins

Cleaning & Degreasing

• Industrial degreasing, machine part cleaning, and surface prep

Adhesives & Sealants

• Used as a carrier and viscosity reducer

Printing Inks

• Acts as a solvent in ink formulations and drying agents

Household Products

• Used in wax removers, polishes, and cleaning sprays (in diluted form)

• Low Odor & Safer Handling – Less irritating for operators and end-users

• High Flash Point (≥62°C) – Improved safety for storage and transport

• Eco-Friendly – Reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

• Stable Solvent System – Long shelf life and consistent evaporation rates

• Ready for Export – Compliant with global safety and customs regulations

1. What makes Low Aromatic White Spirit safer than regular white spirit?

Answer:
LAWS contains less than 0.1% aromatics, reducing inhalation risk, skin irritation, and overall toxicity compared to standard white spirit.

2. Can I use LAWS in water-based paints?

Answer:
No. LAWS is intended for oil-based and solvent-borne systems. It’s incompatible with water-based formulations.

3. Do you supply documentation for international shipping?

Answer:
Yes, each shipment includes COA, MSDS, SGS inspection, packing list, and UN transport documentation.

4. Is LAWS flammable?

Answer:
Yes, but with a high flash point of ≥62°C, it is less flammable than regular white spirit, improving transport and workplace safety.

5. Can you provide a sample for testing?

Answer:
Yes, free samples (1L or 500mL) can be shipped to verified industrial buyers for performance evaluation.
