Applications
- Used as a solvent in making adhesives, varnishes, lacquers, coatings, rubber resins, textiles and printing inks, and for diluting paints.corecheminc.com
Applications are drawn from published manufacturer and supplier documentation; each is sourced. Suitability for a specific use is the buyer's to confirm.
Storage & Handling
- Recommended Storage
- Cool, well-ventilated flammable-liquid storage. Tightly sealed containers. Segregate from oxidizers. Bond and ground bulk storage; consider inert gas blanketing for volatile solvents.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Handling Precautions
- Eliminate ignition sources. Use chemical-resistant nitrile or PVA gloves. Bond and ground all transfer equipment. Vapors heavier than air — control ventilation accordingly.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Incompatibilities
- Strong oxidizers, halogens, nitric acid. Some grades react with rubber and certain plastics — verify gasket and hose compatibility.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Shelf Life
- 12 monthsconservationsupportsystems.comProvided proper storage and handling precautions are taken; stated by Shell for VM&P Naphtha HT (hydrotreated), with detailed storage and handling advice referred to the product MSDS.
For full hazard, PPE, and emergency response guidance, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product. The SDS controls in all cases where guidance differs.
