Buy less, dispose of less: recycle it
Most shops pay twice for mineral spirits: once to buy it and again to haul it away. A solvent recycler distills dirty mineral spirits on site so you can reuse it, recovering 97% or more and leaving only a small amount of residue. See How to Dispose of Mineral Spirits for disposal rules, or run our ROI calculator. Comparing solvents? Read Mineral Spirits vs. Paint Thinner.
Mineral spirits FAQs
What size containers do you sell mineral spirits in?
We supply mineral spirits in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 275 and 330-gallon totes, and bulk tanker deliveries.
What is 142 flash mineral spirits?
It is mineral spirits with a flash point of about 142°F. Higher-flash grades like 142°F and 150°F+ are common in parts washers because they are less flammable than regular grades.
Which mineral spirits should I use in a parts washer?
A high-flash grade such as 142°F or 150°F+ is the usual choice for recirculating solvent parts washers. Check your washer manufacturer’s recommendation.
Can I recycle used mineral spirits?
Yes. A solvent recycler distills dirty mineral spirits back to clean, reusable solvent on site, recovering 97% or more and cutting the solvent you buy and haul away.
