Naphtha (petroleum), light straight-run
A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by distillation of crude oil. It consists predominantly of aliphatic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C4 through C10 and boiling in the range of approximately minus 20°C to 180°C (-4°F to 356°F).
EC / List no.: 265-046-8
CAS no.: 64741-46-4
Mol. formula:
Danger! According to the harmonised classification and labelling (ATP01) approved by the European Union, this substance may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways, may cause genetic defects and may cause cancer.
Additionally, the classification provided by companies to ECHA in REACH registrations identifies that this substance is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects, is an extremely flammable liquid and vapour, is suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child, causes skin irritation and may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
