It`s a solvent for refining petroleum, commonly used in industrial applications such as cleaning, oiling, coatings, and paints.Naphtha, commonly known as light oil, white electric oil, or naphtha, is an intermediate of a hydrocarbon liquid used in the refining of crude oil. It consists of a mixture of different hydrocarbons, the main components of which are alkanes, cycloalkanes, or aromatics with 5 to 11 carbon atoms. This is usually done by desulphurization followed by catalytic reforming, which rearrangements or restructures the hydrocarbon molecules in the naphtha and breaks them into smaller molecules to produce a high-octane gasoline component (or gasoline). [1][2][3] There are hundreds of different petroleum crude oil sources worldwide, each with its own unique composition or content determination. There are also hundreds of global petroleum refineries, many designed to process specific crude oil or crude oil. This means that it is almost impossible to exist a definitive naphtha composition, as each refinery producing its own naphtha is unique to initial and final boiling points and other physical and compositive characteristics. In other words, naphtha is a general term, not a specific term.
