Hydrotreated light naphtha (petroleum)

Hydrotreated light naphtha (petroleum), CAS 64742-49-0, also known as petroleum benzine, is a refined hydrocarbon solvent produced through catalytic hydrotreatment to reduce aromatic and sulfur content.

Where is Hydrotreated light naphtha (petroleum) used?

• Industrial and institutional cleaning: primary solvent base
• Coatings and adhesives: diluent to control viscosity and manage dry-film properties in solvent-borne systems
• Metalworking: cutting fluids and rust-preventive compounds requiring a clean-burning solvent
• Printing inks: adjusts flow and drying speed in solvent-based formulations
• It functions as a low-odor, fast-evaporating carrier and cleaning solvent.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm flash point range against their specific process and verify evaporation rates against formulation specifications.
