It depends on what industry you're in. If you're a dry cleaner, this product is called Stoddard Solvent. If you're a paint manufacturer, you'll call it White Spirit. And if you're anyone else, you'll either call it Paint Thinner, Parts Cleaner or Mineral Spirits. According to the website http://www.americansolvent.com/, only a minority calls it mineral spirits. Rather, according to http:/www.americansolvent.com/, more people call it paint thinner.
