Naphtha, in general, refers to flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixtures used as solvents and diluents, and as raw materials for gasoline production. Coal tar naphtha is one specific type of naphtha, distinguished by its origin from coal tar. Naphthalene, a related compound and the most abundant single constituent of coal tar, is a hydrocarbon used in manufacturing dyes and synthetic resins.12
