White Spirit – LR Grade, 1 Litre (UN Approved)

White Spirit, also known as a Turpentine Substitute, is a refined hydrocarbon solvent supplied in a 1 litre UN‑approved container. Manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade, it is suitable for controlled use in educational science laboratories where organic solvents and their properties are studied.

Identified by CAS Number: 67742‑88‑7 and UN Number: 1300, white spirit is a flammable liquid and must be handled in accordance with appropriate laboratory safety procedures and COSHH risk assessments. It is commonly used as a non‑polar solvent, making it valuable for demonstrating solubility, evaporation, and separation techniques.

Please note: this chemical is supplied exclusively to educational establishments. Customers must be logged in with an approved school or institutional account for the Add To Basket button to appear. Orders are shipped only to school addresses. Due to courier regulations, chemical products cannot be returned, although statutory rights remain unaffected.
