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.
