Light naphtha is a petroleum fraction that falls within the lower end of the naphtha boiling range. It is a light and volatile liquid composed mainly of hydrocarbon molecules with 5-6 carbon atoms. Light naphtha finds wide usage in the petrochemical industry as a feedstock for the production of various chemicals, including ethylene, propylene, and butadiene. It is also used as a blending component in gasoline to enhance its octane rating. Additionally, light naphtha can be further processed into other refined products such as solvents, cleaning agents, and aerosol propellants.
