Heavy naphtha is a distillate obtained from the cracking of crude oil, typically comprising hydrocarbons with a boiling range between 200 °C and 300 °C, and is refined to remove sulfur and other impurities.
When shipping heavy naphtha, containers must be equipped with pressure relief valves and temperature monitoring to prevent vapor buildup, and the cargo should be labeled with appropriate hazard class 3 markings.
