Naphta Solvent Kokosal, commonly known as Kokosal, is a petroleum-derived hydrocarbon solvent composed primarily of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range near 100°C. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic hydrocarbon odor. Kokosal is widely used as an industrial solvent due to its excellent solvency power, moderate evaporation rate, and compatibility with many resins, oils, and waxes. It is valued in applications such as coatings, adhesives, cleaning, and chemical synthesis.
