Aromatic Naphtha

Aromatic naphtha is a type of hydrocarbon solvent that is produced from the distillation of petroleum or coal tar. It is a clear, colorless liquid that has a strong, sweet odor and is highly flammable. Aromatic naphtha is composed primarily of aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, which are known for their high degree of reactivity and their ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. Due to its high solvency power and its ability to dissolve a wide range of resins, polymers, and other organic materials, aromatic naphtha is commonly used as a solvent in a variety of applications, including paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber and plastic production, printing, cleaning, and chemical manufacturing.

Aromatic naphtha is distributed worldwide, with many countries producing and exporting the substance. The largest producers of aromatic naphtha are typically countries with large petroleum and petrochemical industries, such as the United States, China, India, and the United Arab Emirates.
The distribution of aromatic naphtha is typically handled by distributors such as Extensiveway who specialize in the handling and transportation of hazardous substances like aromatic naphtha.

Aromatic 100, 150, and 200 are all types of aromatic naphtha that are commonly used as solvents in a variety of applications. Here’s a brief description of each:

Synonyms: Solvent naphtha (petroleum); Light aromatic; Arosol 10; HiSol 10; Solvent 100; Atosol 100; Solvesso 100

Aromatic 100 is a type of aromatic naphtha that is composed primarily of C9-C10 aromatic hydrocarbons. It has a high degree of solvency power and is commonly used as a solvent in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, and adhesives. Aromatic 100 has a boiling point range of 160°C to 182°C and a flash point of 44°C to 54°C.

Synonyms: High Flash Aromatic Naphtha; Type II Heavy Aromatic Solvent Naphtha hydrocarbons; C10 Aromatics

Aromatic 150 is a type of aromatic naphtha that is composed primarily of C10-C12 aromatic hydrocarbons. It is commonly used as a solvent in the manufacturing of rubber, plastics, and synthetic fibers. Aromatic 150 has a boiling point range of 180°C to 215°C and a flash point of 55°C to 64°C.

Synonyms: Solvent naphtha; Garosol 200; Solvesso 200; Wash oil

Aromatic 200 is a type of aromatic naphtha that is composed primarily of C12-C16 aromatic hydrocarbons. It is commonly used as a solvent in the manufacturing of specialty chemicals, such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. Aromatic 200 has a boiling point range of 205°C to 245°C and a flash point of 63°C to 77°C.

Aliphatic naphtha, also known as aliphatic solvent naphtha, is a versatile chemical compound used in a variety of applications, including:

Paints and Coatings

Aromatic naphtha is commonly used as a solvent in the production of paints, varnishes, and other coatings. It helps to dissolve the resins and pigments used in these products and can improve their flow and leveling properties.

Adhesives

Aromatic naphtha is used as a solvent in the production of adhesives, including contact adhesives, rubber cements, and spray adhesives. It helps to dissolve the polymers and resins used in these products and can improve their bonding properties.

Rubber and Plastics

Aromatic naphtha is used as a solvent and plasticizer in the production of rubber and plastic products. It helps to dissolve and disperse rubber or plastic materials and can improve their flexibility, durability, and processing properties.

Printing

Aromatic naphtha is used as a solvent in the printing industry to clean printing plates and rollers and to dissolve the inks used in the printing process.

Cleaning

Aromatic naphtha is used as a solvent in cleaning products, such as degreasers and industrial solvents. It helps to dissolve and remove oils, greases, and other contaminants from surfaces.

This substance is used in the production of the following materials:

• Paints and Coatings
• Adhesives
• Rubber and Plastics
• Printing
• Cleaning
• Chemical Manufacturing
• Petrochemicals
• Pharmaceuticals
• Agrochemicals
• Fragrances and Flavors
• Textiles
• Automotive

• Food and Beverage
• Mining and Mineral Processing
• Oil and Gas
• Water Treatment

Aromatic naphtha is a hazardous substance that can pose health and safety risks if not handled properly. Therefore, it’s essential to follow all safety procedures when handling, transporting, and storing aromatic naphtha. Here are some general guidelines for handling aromatic naphtha safely:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection, when handling and working with aromatic naphtha.
• Ventilation: Ensure that the area in which aromatic naphtha is being used or stored is well-ventilated to prevent the accumulation of vapors, which can be flammable and toxic.
• Storage: Store aromatic naphtha in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat, sparks, or flames. Ensure that containers are properly labeled and stored in accordance with local regulations.
• Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and do not ingest or inhale aromatic naphtha. Use appropriate equipment, such as pumps, hoses, and funnels, to transfer aromatic naphtha from one container to another.
• Spill Response: In the event of a spill, follow appropriate spill response procedures, including containing and cleaning up the spill using appropriate absorbents and personal protective equipment.
• Disposal: Dispose of aromatic naphtha and any contaminated materials in accordance with local regulations and guidelines.
