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.
At SolvChem, we have a solid understanding of how our customers use our products. We know what works and what doesn’t, whatever your application.
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 blending, 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.
No one knows chemical safety better than SolvChem. From start to finish, our chemical handlers take extreme care to ensure all products and individuals are safe.
