About Naphtha. Naphtha is a liquid stream, mainly derived from crude oil refining, composed of intermediate hydrocarbons, with an initial boiling point (IBP) of around 35 °C and a final boiling point (FBP) of about 200 °C. Naphtha composition varies greatly by country due to the differences in petroleum constitution, containing different percentages of paraffins, aromatic compounds, naphthenes, and others. Its composition normally ranges from hydrocarbons containing a 4-12 carbon chain, predominantly C5-C6.

Naphtha is one of the most important chemical commodities worldwide since it is the primary source of gasoline and other fuels, as well as industrial solvents. International trade may occur in the spot market, in which the commodity can be purchased for immediate delivery or in the futures contract market, ensuring a steady supply to industries.

Naphtha Handling. Despite its importance, naphtha possesses some unique characteristics that require careful handling. It is a corrosive fuel with a low flash point, making it highly flammable. Its low lubricity necessitates the use of lubricity enhancers when employed in certain applications to prevent excessive wear and tear on machinery. Bulk Naphtha logistics predominantly involves maritime transportation and pipelines, with deliveries scheduled on fixed dates to ensure a steady supply to industries around the world.

Naphtha Uses. In the industrial realm, naphtha finds extensive use in the production of gasoline, providing the energy needed for countless vehicles and machinery. Furthermore, it serves as a key ingredient in the formulation of solvents used in asphalt production, paints, varnishes, and various cleaning fluids. Naphtha's versatility extends to its role in the rubber industry, where it aids in the production of synthetic rubber compounds. Additionally, Naphtha's flammable properties make it a suitable fuel for portable camping stoves and lanterns, while its role in recycling processes contributes to sustainable practices by helping to convert waste materials into valuable products.
