Good substitute for naphtha?

Migrated topic.
p.3:
Naphtha (Erdöl), mit Wasserstoff behandelte leichte (>=50% - <=100%)
Basically, Benzin is another name for naphtha. It's just a volatile aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon fraction. This one here appears to standardised for pentane content, but with a boiling point below 40°C it would appear to be largely isopentane. That stuff will boil in contact with warm skin so it might not actually be the best thing for pulling from a STB. Heavier hydrocarbons are more efficient.

Get Grillanzunder (if you're in a German-speaking country) for the crude pulls then recrystallise using this low boiling pet. ether (Petroleumbenzin) you're looking at. Or, of course, select a higher boiling Benzin.
 
I do feel sorry it took me such a long time to respond, I had a day off.
That's exactly what I wanted to hear! However, I must have missed the boiling temp, so I will use the other one with a way higher boiling temp. I'll first check how it evaporates and if there wont be any residue left, I'll use it.
Thank you!
 
If you are indeed german you can look around for "Testbenzin" (found at DM for 4€)
Also "leichtbenzin"
Definetly look at the boiling temp though. Anything with boiling over 80c is probably to heavy in the mix.
