Naphtha is actually n-Nonane, if this helps find it. Nonane is one of the paraffin series, which includes butane, propane, paraffin wax and polyethylene plastic .... the molecules are polymers of methane, the difference from each to the next being how many repetitions of the methane unit are in a molecule. Nonane has 9, and it's a liquid at room temperature. Heptane, if you can find it, has similar solvent properties but is faster drying and comes only in a spray can. Both are good stuff.
