High Flash White Spirit Hydrocarbon Shell Chemicals Solvents >> Hydrocarbon, aliphatic Solvents >> Hydrocarbon, Aromatic High Flash White Spirit The White (Mineral) Spirit range consists of products that are water-white, typically boil between 150 and 220°C and are a mixture of paraffins, cycloparaffins and aromatics. In this range High Aromatic White Spirit (HAWS) is a faster evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. Its high aromatic content gives HAWS increased solvent power and improved viscosity reducing properties. White (minral) spirit. Water-white mixture of paraffins, cycloparaffins and aromatics, fast evaporating hydrocarbon solvent. Possesses high aromatic content, increased solvent power and improved viscosity reducing properties.
