Description
A Petroleum distillate that was formerly widely used as a dry cleaning solvent, especially for spots and stains. Stoddard solvent was distilled and refined from Mineral spirits collected in the boiling range of 177-190C. ASTM method D-484-52 defines Stoddard solvent as clear, free from suspended matter and dry (no dissolved water). Stoddard solvent is no longer commonly used because of the fire and explosion risks.
Synonyms and Related Terms
