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.
