Procurement specification and compliance grid
Values shown are procurement reference points, not a substitute for the contracted producer specification, current SDS or batch CoA.
| Penetration Grade / Performance Classification | Light / heavy naphtha or petroleum naphtha by boiling range and end-use specification |
|---|---|
| Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C | Very low viscosity, commonly below ~1.5 cSt depending composition; exact test value by refinery CoA |
| Kinematic Viscosity at 100°C | Generally not a routine commercial acceptance parameter for naphtha |
| Viscosity Index | Not applicable |
| Flash Point / Softening Point | Often very low flash point; exact value varies significantly by cut and must be taken from SDS / CoA |
| OEM Performance Approvals | Refinery specification; ASTM distillation / density / sulfur methods and destination fuel / chemical rules as applicable |
| Handling / Heating Requirements | Highly flammable liquid; closed systems, bonding/grounding, vapor control and approved tanks / ISO tanks / vessel systems required |
| Available Incoterms | FOB / CFR / CIF; FCA / DAP subject to product, package and route |
Technical application & industrial end-uses
Application context for procurement and compliance teams
Naphtha is structured for institutional procurement where specification control, batch traceability, safety documentation and logistics discipline are as important as commercial price. The material is commonly evaluated for naphtha for petrochemical feedstock, solvent and refinery applications where the agreed boiling range, sulfur, density and composition meet process requirements. Procurement teams should define the target grade, required purity or performance class, total metric tonnage or liquid volume, loading mode, destination country, discharge port and required delivery window before commercial comparison. For buyers searching for bulk light and heavy naphtha supplier with refinery CoA and safety documentation, AL BASAM coordinates sourcing against producer documentation, current SDS/MSDS, Certificate of Analysis and shipment-specific quality evidence rather than generic catalogue claims. Where dangerous-goods or heated-product controls apply, the transport classification, tank suitability, vessel acceptance, temperature limits, contamination controls and port rules are reviewed before shipment planning. Commercial terms may be structured around FOB, CFR, CIF or another agreed Incoterm, subject to origin and logistics feasibility. Final acceptance always follows the signed contract, approved technical specification, producer CoA, inspection scope and destination regulatory requirements.
Legal, safety & quality documentation
Shipment documentation suite
The exact document set is fixed in the commercial contract and inspection plan. The institutional shipment file may include:
- Current Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) aligned with GHS classification and destination-language requirements where applicable.
- Independent third-party laboratory / inspection certificate from SGS, Saybolt, Intertek or another mutually agreed inspector when contracted.
- Producer / refinery / chemical-plant Certificate of Analysis (CoA) traceable to the supplied batch, tank, lot or cargo.
- Certificate of Origin plus commercial invoice, packing / quantity documents and certified Bill of Lading or transport document.
- Tanker / vessel / ISO-tank cleanliness or previous-cargo evidence when the product and loading mode require contamination control.
- Trade-control, sanctions-screening, customs and destination compliance documents required by the transaction and applicable law.
