Product Overview
VM&P Naphtha (Varnish Makers and Painters Naphtha) is a Technical Grade petroleum-derived solvent distinguished by its high volatility and rapid evaporation rate. Unlike slower-drying mineral spirits, VM&P Naphtha allows for quicker drying times in paints, varnishes, and enamels. This product acts as a powerful aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent (CAS 64742-89-8), providing a broad solvency profile essential for industrial coatings, rubber formulations, and heavy-duty degreasing operations.
Engineered for precision and consistency, this solvent maintains a high assay (typical 99.8% wt) with a controlled boiling range of 90–150°C. It serves as an effective carrier solvent for pigment dispersion and resin dissolution, ensuring smooth film formation and leveling. In manufacturing and maintenance environments, VM&P Naphtha is utilized to strip oil, grease, and residues from metal parts and equipment surfaces without leaving significant residue. It is also employed in chemical extraction processes and adhesive formulations requiring a clean, volatile carrier.
Key Properties
- CAS Number: 64742-89-8
- Assay: Typical 99.8% (Mixture of C6–C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons)
- Boiling Point Range: 90–150°C (Rapid evaporation profile)
- Specific Gravity (20°C): 0.785 – 0.795
- Vapor Pressure: ~97 mmHg @ 20°C
- Flash Point: Flammable Liquid (Handle with care)
- Color (APHA): Max 5 (Clear, colorless)
- Water Content: Max 0.01%
Common Applications
- Industrial Paint Thinner: Reduces viscosity in oil-based paints, varnishes, and alkyd enamels to improve spray application and flow while accelerating drying times compared to standard mineral spirits.
- Heavy-Duty Degreasing: Rapidly dissolves grease, heavy oils, and hydraulic fluids from machinery, tools, and metal parts. Ideal for maintenance operations requiring quick turnover.
- Adhesive Solvent: Functions as a carrier and tackifying agent in rubber cements and industrial adhesive formulations.
- Resin & Polymer Dissolution: Used in the processing of acrylics, alkyds, and various hydrocarbon resins for coating manufacturing.
- Surface Preparation: Cleans surfaces prior to painting or finishing to ensure proper adhesion by removing contaminants and oils.
Safety Precautions
VM&P Naphtha is a flammable liquid and vapor. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Prevent static discharge by grounding and bonding containers during transfer.
Wear protective gloves, eye protection, and face protection during handling. If swallowed, immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor; do NOT induce vomiting. If on skin, rinse with water/shower. In case of fire, use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide to extinguish. Dispose of contents and containers in accordance with local, regional, and federal regulations (UN 1268, Petroleum Distillates, n.o.s.).
