Petroleum Distillates, Hydrotreated Light

Hydrotreated light petroleum distillates are a refined fraction of crude oil used widely as solvents in coatings, polishes, and wax-based products. The hydrotreating process removes sulfur compounds and reduces aromatic content, improving the safety profile vs. unrefined distillates. In car care products, these solvents disperse wax and polymer actives, aid surface penetration, and evaporate cleanly during cure. The H304 (aspiration hazard) hazard statement is standard for any light petroleum fraction — the acute hazard from normal topical use is low. Environmental persistence is moderate: biodegradation is slow, but aquatic toxicity at product-use concentrations is not a concern.
