Naphtha, Solvents & Hydrocarbon Feedstock Sourcing

Naphtha and hydrocarbon-cut names vary by refinery and market. The inquiry should define boiling range, density, paraffin and aromatic content, sulphur, colour, flash point and the intended processing or solvent use instead of relying on a trade name alone.

Specification checklist for the RFQ

  • Full-range, light or heavy naphtha
  • Initial/final boiling point and distillation curve
  • Paraffin, naphthene and aromatic content
  • Sulphur, density, colour and flash point

Applications and end-use context

  • Steam cracker and petrochemical feed
  • Gasoline blending and reformer feed
  • Industrial solvent production
  • Paint, cleaning and process applications

Delivery structure and logistics

Flash point and dangerous-goods classification influence tank, vessel and container options. The receiving terminal must confirm compatibility, and the RFQ should specify whether the cargo is bulk, ISO tank, drum or another approved format.

Prices shown on the site are public market references only. An executable indication depends on specification, origin, destination, Incoterm, freight, insurance and payment structure.

Documents and commercial inputs

  • Detailed distillation and composition specification
  • SDS and dangerous-goods classification
  • Recent COA and sampling method
  • Tank, packing and destination requirements

How the inquiry is reviewed

01

Define product, grade, quantity, destination and timing.

02

Review specification, documents, logistics assumptions and compliance points.

03

Where appropriate, summarise possible sourcing or freight routes for the next commercial discussion.

Frequently asked questions

Is white spirit the same as kerosene?

No. They can overlap in some boiling ranges, but composition, flash point, odour, colour and intended use differ. The specification decides suitability.

What does full-range naphtha mean?

It generally refers to a broader naphtha boiling range containing light and heavier components, but the exact cut differs by producer and must be defined by distillation data.
