Shellite is a highly flammable liquid known for its excellent solvency of greases and oils, making it an ideal choice for cleaning surfaces prior to painting. Its quick evaporation characteristics ensure that it burns rapidly, which is why it is commonly used as fuel for stoves, torches, and lanterns. Due to its flammability, it should always be handled with extreme caution.
In addition to its use as a cleaning agent and fuel, Shellite is also widely recognized as a reliable lighter fuel. Its high solvency properties make it effective in removing tough grease and oil stains, ensuring surfaces are thoroughly cleaned before any painting work. This versatile hydrocarbon solvent is indispensable in various applications, from metal cleaning to providing a quick and efficient fuel source.
