Isopar M is a nearly clear odorless petroleum distillate and solvent produced by ExxonMobil. It is created from crude oil. It has a flash point of more than 60 °C, and works as a forming fluid in metalworking, as a household cleaner, a household polisher, and a liquid vaporizer. As of 2019[update] it is not available to the general public in its pure form, but may be found in the ingredients lists of some cleaning agents and solvents.[3]
