What is the Aliphatic Naphtha?
Aliphatic naphtha is a type of liquid hydrocarbon mixture that is derived from petroleum distillates and natural gas condensates. This versatile chemical compound is also known as aliphatic solvent naphtha, and it covers a range of chemicals that are used in various applications. Aliphatic naphtha is a clean and flammable substance that can be adjusted to suit specific needs and requirements. Its chemical blend can be customized for use in a variety of purposes, including as a solvent, as a fuel, and as an ingredient in the production of various products.
Aliphatic naphtha is commonly used as a solvent in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, and adhesives. It is also used in the cleaning and degreasing of machinery and equipment. In addition, aliphatic naphtha is used as fuel in camping stoves, lanterns, and other portable heating devices. It is also used as an ingredient in the production of rubber, plastics, and synthetic fibers.
One of the advantages of aliphatic naphtha is its low toxicity. Unlike some other solvents, it does not pose a significant health risk to humans or the environment. However, it is still important to handle this substance with care, as it is flammable and can be dangerous if not used properly.
Production stages: In the first stage, ethylene and oxides are introduced into a multi-tube reactor to produce ethylene oxide. This exothermic reaction occurs in fixed beds inside the reactor tubes, usually in the gas phase (the catalyst used is silver on an alumina base). Water vapor is produced during the reaction.
