Naphtha

Naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture. It is a term used to relate to a group of a volatile, combustible mixture of hydrocarbons that are used mainly as solvents, diluents, or raw materials for gasoline conversion.

Mixtures labeled naphtha have been produced from natural gas condensates, petroleum distillates, and coal tar and peat distillation. It is a lightweight petrochemical feedstock that is segregated from crude oil in the partial distillation process along with kerosene and jet fuel.

Many distinct types of naphtha alter in the amounts and natures of hydrocarbons contained in their unique blend. Each sort has special guidelines for its usage.
