Allan, it sounds like this product might be simply another brand of petroleum-based odorless solvent.
I bought some today and I can see that it is a petroleum product that has been treated in a way that removed the harmful parts.
I can smell that it is petroleum if I put my nose to the bottle but it's very mild.

One other question: How do you ( and others) use it for painting? Do you add drying oil to it to make a medium? The prolonged evaporation time could be an attractive function since I often mix a pile of paint that dries up before I have used it.

I usually use a mixture of 1 part stand oil, 1 part linseed oil with drier added, 3 parts vegetable turpentine.
