Naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture. Mixtures labelled naphtha have been produced from natural gas condensates, petroleum distillates, and the distillation of coal tar and peat.

Naphtha is a liquid hydrocarbon mixture which is said to be highly flammable. It is utilized as a solvent in various human industries and is quite volatile. We use it as a fuel for most of the industrial uses.

Furthermore, one needs to understand that it is not just one liquid but a term for defining a wide category of chemicals. The common thing about this is that each of it has a potentially dangerous solution of hydrocarbons.

It is quite an old chemical that was discovered before the first century A.D. The three different types of naphtha include coal tar, petroleum, and shale.


Each of these creates under varying conditions and also serves for different uses because of its chemical properties. The crude oil distillation is responsible for producing it.

Uses of Naptha
On the whole, we use it in three major ways. One is for the industrial uses, then as a solvent and finally as a fuel. As it is a large class of chemicals, it applies to various industries. However, it does have health and environmental concerns of its own.

Industrial Use

In industrial use, naphtha serves as a raw material for producing plastics like polyethene and polypropylene. Moreover, the different naphtha chemicals are also used as a raw material for generating petrochemicals containing gasoline and butane.
