Light Naphtha

Description

Light Naphtha
Description:
Light Naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture derived from the distillation of crude oil or natural gas condensates. Consisting of hydrocarbons with 5 to 6 carbon atoms, Light Naphtha features a boiling point range between 30°C and 90°C. Its light molecular structure makes it easier to refine, positioning it as a key feedstock for producing gasoline, petrochemicals, and solvents.
