Naphtha (Petroleum), Light Alkylate

Naphtha (petroleum), light alkylate (CAS 64741-66-8) is a petroleum-derived aliphatic hydrocarbon cut obtained from the alkylation of light petroleum fractions. It is used as a fast-evaporating carrier solvent in ceramic coatings, paint protectants, and similar surface treatments where controlled solvent release enables active silane or siloxane ingredients to deposit and cure on treated surfaces.

The light alkylate fraction is distinct from the heavy alkylate (CAS 64741-65-7) by its lower boiling range and higher volatility. Formulations using this solvent as a primary carrier typically have flash points below 25°C, classifying the final product as a flammable or highly flammable liquid. The STOT RE Cat 1 classification (H372 — causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure) seen in products containing this solvent class reflects the cumulative nervous system effects of petroleum hydrocarbon inhalation under occupational conditions, not from brief consumer application.
