What is a Naptha solvent? A naptha solvent is a chemical product comprised of volatile and extremely flammable liquid hydrocarbons used often in the chemical breakdown of crude oil for conversion to gasoline products. Naptha solvents have been around for many centuries, understood to have originated in the middle east Baku provinces of Iran and Azerbaijan, where it was extracted from ground sources. Naptha, also known as Naphtha, is commonly used to describe various types of oils that come from crude, coal-tar, oil-sands, shale etc.
Another common use of naptha is as a solvent. Naptha solvent is very strong and versatile, often used in hydrocarbon cracking, laundry soaps, and cleaning fluids among other applications.
Naptha solvents are considered very hazardous chemicals and users should use PPE (personal protective equipment) when handling these chemicals, to prevent injury.
It is understood that the etymology (origin) of the term Naptha, comes from the Greek word Naphtha which translates as bitumen. Bitumen is a common byproduct of refined oils and is commonly used in road construction.
