Middle Naphtha

  • Middle Naphtha is a liquid hydrocarbon fraction obtained from the distillation of crude oil, belonging to the hydrocarbon group of refinery intermediates. It bridges the properties of both light and heavy naphtha, making it suitable for a wide range of petrochemical and fuel-blending applications.

    Characterized by a boiling range typically between 30°C and 240°C, Middle Naphtha offers balanced volatility and energy density, making it valuable as a feedstock for reforming, blending, and industrial solvent production. With a free flash point, it is classified as a flammable liquid and must be handled under controlled safety conditions.

    Form: Liquid Hydrocarbon
    Boiling Range: Typically 30°C – 240°C
    Flash Point: Free
    Packaging: Supplied in bulk form, suitable for large-scale industrial and export operations.

  • Middle Naphtha is a versatile petroleum distillate, strategically positioned between Light Naphtha and Heavy Naphtha in the refining spectrum. With a boiling range typically between 100°C and 180°C, it serves as a vital intermediate feedstock for petrochemical synthesis and fuel blending applications.

    Its balanced volatility and optimized hydrocarbon composition make it well-suited for steam cracking operations, supporting the efficient production of ethylene, propylene, and other key olefins used in downstream chemical manufacturing.

    In addition to its petrochemical role, Middle Naphtha contributes significantly to industrial solvent formulations and kerosene blending, offering stability, consistency, and controlled vaporization.

    With moderate density and low sulfur content, this product is ideal for markets with strict environmental standards, delivering a clean-burning and reliable hydrocarbon source for refineries and petrochemical plants worldwide.
