We perform quality and conformance testing by specification ASTM D235, which covers mineral spirits used mainly in the coatings and dry-cleaning industries. This specification covers four types of mineral spirits, also called hydrocarbon solvents, petroleum spirits, & Stoddard Solvents.
This is a list of the tests required by Specification ASTM D235. Some of these tests are customized for this exact specification.
