In 2023–2024, the United States, South Korea, and Germany were the leading exporters of solvent naphtha (CAS 64742-94-5), collectively accounting for over 40% of global exports by value; major importers included India, Vietnam, and Mexico, with India consistently ranking first in import volume. Imports by Southeast Asian nations—particularly Vietnam and Thailand—showed steady growth amid rising regional demand for industrial solvents, while Solvent naphtha prices remained relatively stable despite modest supply-side fluctuations in key exporting hubs.
Solvent naphtha is a colorless to pale yellow, volatile liquid mixture of aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic hydrocarbons, typically with a characteristic petroleum-like odor. It is classified as a petroleum-derived hydrocarbon solvent blend, not a single compound, and exhibits a boiling range generally between 140 °C and 200 °C. It is widely used as a medium- to high-boiling solvent in industrial formulations, particularly in coatings (e.g., paints, varnishes, and enamels), inks, adhesives, and cleaning agents. Its balanced evaporation rate and solvency power make it suitable for dissolving resins, oils, and waxes in polymer processing and surface preparation applications.
