Aliphatic Naphthas
Across countless sectors, aliphatic naphtha solvents are found in consumer- and industrial-grade products. These chemicals are highly versatile, and a quality blend can make all the difference.
What Are Aliphatic Naphthas?
Aliphatic naphthas are a liquid hydrocarbon mixture. Also known as aliphatic solvent naphthas, the term covers a category of chemicals derived from petroleum distillates and natural gas condensates. These chemicals are clean and flammable by nature, and, as such, can be used for a variety of purposes. The chemical blend can be adjusted for use in any number of specific applications.
The aliphatic naphtha products we carry include the following:

Naphtha Uses
From fuels to solvents, naphtha blends are used in an impressive range of industrial chemical applications. One of the primary uses is as a fuel; it is clean burning and puts out a good amount of energy. For that reason, you’ll find naphtha solvents in consumer products such as camping fuels and torches to lighting and power for industrial applications. Because naphthas have a relatively low evaporation rate, it’s also a useful solvent for diluting paints and other substances. Naphthas can also be used for insecticides, polymers, coatings and much more.
Logistical Challenges Around Aliphatic Naphtha
As are most flammable chemicals, aliphatic naphtha is regarded as hazardous. It must be handled with extreme care and only by trained professionals. Chemical handling is tricky business — when you account for the effort put into moving, storing and transporting chemicals. Not only is there a risk to the people involved, but improper handling can also damage the chemical itself or other property.
