Naphtha is a general term used to describe a group of flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixtures that are derived from petroleum distillation. It is commonly used as a solvent, a fuel, and a raw material in the production of chemicals and plastics.
There are two main types of naphtha: light naphtha and heavy naphtha. Light naphtha is more volatile and is used as a solvent and a gasoline blendstock. Heavy naphtha is less volatile and is used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals like ethylene, propylene, and butadiene.
Some common uses of naphtha include:
- As a solvent for paint, varnish, and other coatings.
- As a fuel for lamps, stoves, and engines.
- As a feedstock for the production of plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene.
- As a raw material for the production of solvents like white spirit and hexane.
- As a cleaning agent for degreasing and removing oil and grease from surfaces.
