Fuel Oil Degradation Mix
(4 components)
Subsurface degradation of fuel oil spills can be estimated by ex-
amining the ratios of C17/pristane and C18/phytane.

To assist
in identifying these four compounds from the complex fuel oil
analysis, we offer a product that contains these compounds for
retention time determination.

Mineral Spirits Standards (Unweathered)
There are four general types of mineral spirits, classified accord-
ing to boiling point range (BPR):
• Type I (Stoddard solvent) BPR 149–182 °C
• Type II (high flash point) BPR 177–196 °C
• Type III (odorless)
BPR 149–196 °C
• Type IV (low dry point) BPR 149–174 °C
We prepare our solutions from an equal-volume blend of Type I,
II, and III mineral spirits.

Stoddard solvent (8052-41-3)
Stoddard Solvent Standard
Stoddard solvent is also known as Type I mineral spirits, Tex-
solve S, or Varsol® 1 mineral spirits. We offer this reference ma-
terial for those who need to calibrate Stoddard solvent separate-
ly. This standard is dissolved in methanol for analysis by either
direct injection or purge-and-trap.
