Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers.

General description
Application
- Mineral spirits are widely used as a solvent in the various industries, including paint and automotive. The addition of BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) helps in stabilizing the solvent, preventing oxidation and extending the shelf life of the product.
- Mineral spirits are used in industrial and automotive settings as a degreasing agent. They effectively remove grease, oil, and other contaminants from metal surfaces. The presence of BHT enhances the stability of the solvent, ensuring consistent performance over time.

How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?
1 answer-
If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
