VM&P Naphtha (Industrial Naphtha)
CAS Number: 64742-89-8
Industrial naphtha (VM&P Naphtha, ≥98.0%) is a medium-boiling petroleum fraction used as a varnish maker's and painter's (VM&P) solvent, offering a balance of evaporation rate, solvency, and cost for alkyd coatings, rubber cements, and cleaning formulations. Its primarily aliphatic composition provides good solvency with lower aromatic content than toluene or xylene.
Technical Specifications
| appearance | Colorless to pale yellow liquid |
| purity (%) | ≥98.0 |
| boiling point (°C) | 100–160 (range) |
| aromatic content (%) | ≤5 |
| density (g/mL, 20°C) | 0.730–0.760 |
Applications
- Thinner for alkyd, oil-modified polyurethane, and gloss coatings
- Solvent for rubber-based cements and construction adhesives
- Degreasing and cleaning of industrial equipment and machinery
- Carrier solvent for waxes and polishes
- Asphalt and bitumen-based product formulations
Key Features
- Low aromatic content ≤5% providing safer handling profile than toluene-based solvents
- Medium evaporation rate ideal for alkyd paint thinning without over-dilution
- Broad availability from petroleum refining with consistent quality grades
- Cost-effective alternative to pure aliphatic solvents for many coating applications
