                C-26. FEDERAL SPECIFICATION TT-T-291. 30 NOVEMBER 1978, THINNER, PAINT,
                MINERAL SPIRITS, REGULAR AND ODORLESS.

                     a. This thinner Is provided in three types, all of which meet pollution
                control standards for the emission of solvents into the atmosphere. Type I is
                regular mineral spirits, Type II is high flash (or 60 percent) mineral
                spirits, and Type III is odorless mineral spirits. The composition is
                presented in table C-48.


                Table C-48
                Composition of Types
                          & III
                                                                          Percent by volume
                Ingredients                                                     Maximum

                     (a) Solvent with olefinic or                                   5
                         cycloolefinic unsaturation

                     (b) Aromatic compounds with eight                              8
                         or more carbon atoms in molecule, except
                         ethylbenzene, methyl benzoate, and phenyl acetate

                     (c) Total of ethylbenzene, toluene,                           20
                         and branched chain ketones

                     (d) Total of (a) + (b) + (c)


                     b. Minimum flashpoint for Type I and Type III is 38 *C. and the minimum
                flashpoint for Type II is 60 *C.

                     c. This material is Intended for use as a solvent or thinner for coatings
                such as paints, primers, and natural or synthetic enamels or the vehicle
                components. They are used generally where thinners of high solvency power are
                not required. Types I and II are conventional mineral spirits. Type II is
shpoint and slower evaporation rate Is
                required. Type III is used where a relatively low odor thinner is required.

                     d. This material is provided in I-quart and 1-gallon metal cans, 5-gallon
                metal pails, and 55-gallon drums. Special markings are required on all unit
                containers.
