Naphtha is a volatile, highly flammable, and colourless to pale yellow liquid hydrocarbon solvent derived from the refining of crude oil or the distillation of coal tar.

It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily consisting of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic compounds.

Naphtha is widely used as a solvent, cleaning agent, and fuel in various industries. It is used to dilute heavy oil to help move it through pipelines, to make high-octane gas, to make lighter fluid, and even to clean metal.

Tip:
Safe on most plastics, metals and film finishes
