Naphtha Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Petroleum Naphtha
Naphtha supplier for paint, coating, rubber, adhesive, cleaning and petrochemical buyers in Malaysia. Also called petroleum naphtha, it is a family of volatile hydrocarbon mixtures separated into commercial cuts rather than a single compound with one formula or universal specification.
Light naphtha is selected for faster evaporation and lighter process duties, while heavy naphtha carries a higher distillation profile for different blending and petrochemical uses. Solvent-grade options are purchased against controls such as evaporation behaviour, aromatic content, colour and residue.
Manufacturers use suitable naphtha cuts in paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, rubber processing and industrial cleaning. Refineries and petrochemical plants also specify light or heavy naphtha as feedstock or a blending stream, making the buyer's distillation and composition limits essential to product matching.
Send the required grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- light, heavy, solvent, low-aromatic
- Appearance
- clear colourless to pale yellow volatile liquid, depending on cut and composition
Naphtha grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light petroleum naphtha | clear, fast-evaporating hydrocarbon liquid | — | Process solvent, cleaning solvent, blending component or petrochemical feedstock where the receiving specification calls for a lighter naphtha cut. State the required distillation profile and composition controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Heavy petroleum naphtha | clear hydrocarbon liquid with a heavier distillation profile | — | Refinery and petrochemical feed, industrial blending and solvent duties that specify a heavier naphtha stream rather than a fast-evaporating light cut. Include the end process and required test limits in the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Solvent-grade naphtha | controlled-volatility hydrocarbon solvent | — | Paint, coating, adhesive, ink, rubber and industrial cleaning formulations where evaporation rate, solvency and aromatic content are purchasing criteria. Quote matching depends on the complete receiving specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks and ignition sources. Control vapour release and static during transfer, and follow the safety information for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about naphtha
What is naphtha?
Naphtha is a family of volatile petroleum hydrocarbon mixtures rather than one pure chemical. Commercial cuts differ in boiling behaviour, density, aromatic content and intended duty, so a buyer should request light, heavy or solvent-grade material against a receiving specification.
What is the difference between light and heavy naphtha?
Light naphtha is the more volatile, lower-boiling part of the family, while heavy naphtha has a higher distillation profile. They serve different solvent, blending and petrochemical duties and should not be substituted solely because both carry the naphtha name.
Is naphtha the same as white spirit, kerosene or hexane?
No. These are separate commercial solvent or petroleum products with different composition and distillation profiles. A naphtha specification may overlap some performance characteristics, but the products are not universal substitutes and should be quoted under their correct identities.
Which naphtha specifications should a buyer provide?
Include the required distillation profile, density, aromatic content, colour, evaporation behaviour, residue and flash-point limits where they appear on the receiving specification. Also state the application because a coating solvent and a petrochemical feed stream may use different controls.
Can solvent naphtha be quoted for paints, coatings and adhesives?
Yes, solvent-grade naphtha can be requested where the formulation names it. Send the resin or product type, target evaporation profile, aromatic restriction and any residue or colour limits so the offered cut can be compared with the formulation requirement.
What details are needed for a naphtha price quotation in Malaysia?
Provide the grade, full specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Add the preferred pack format and required documents so availability, delivery details and commercial terms can be set out in the quotation with a stated validity period.
