NAPHTHA Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Naphtha is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture used as a solvent and feedstock in various industrial applications. It is commonly employed in the production of petrochemicals, plastics, and synthetic fibers. Naphtha is also used as a fuel for portable stoves and lanterns, and as a cleaning agent for metal surfaces. Proper handling and storage of naphtha are essential to prevent fire hazards and exposure. Safety measures should include the use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Regular monitoring and maintenance of systems using naphtha ensure optimal performance and safety, making it a critical component in the chemical, energy, and manufacturing industries.
