Low Aromatic
MTO (Mineral Turpentine Oil) is a clear, water-white petroleum distillate. It is a mixture of paraffins, cycloparaffins, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Known as the "Painter's Best Friend," it acts as the primary thinner for alkyd paints, varnishes, and enamels, ensuring smooth application and brush cleaning.
Ruvon supplies superior quality MTO with controlled aromatic content. Unlike generic thinners which are often adulterated, our White Spirit guarantees a consistent evaporation rate. This ensures that the paint film dries uniformly without forming bubbles or pinholes.
Conforms to IS 1745 : 1978 Standard.
