VM&P Naphtha stands for “Varnish Makers and Painter,” and is a petroleum solvent similar in strength to mineral spirits (paint thinner), but it is more volatile and has a faster drying time. It has a pleasant sweet smell and is ideal for most solvent-based finishes, making it popular for lengthy projects. It behaves much like lighter fluid and is a good solvent for cleaning residues left by tape or labels. The low flash point of VM&P Naphtha means that it is highly flammable and must be handled carefully.
