hello everyone

i have been reading more about the solvent i use. and i understand that ronsonol lighter fluid was once 99% naphtha, but when zippo bought ronsonol in 2010, they changed the makeup of the lighter fluid, apparently. according to this thread, the makeup of the lighter fluid is now: 70% light hydrotreated distillate and 30% hydrotreated light naphtha. im not sure if this poster is correct, but i have emailed the company and asked for a MSDS sheet.

so me being the non-chemistry type.. is this still usable as a solvent? i have no idea what the terms light hydrotreated distillate or hydrotreated light naphtha means

take care

Hydrotreatment of petroleum is simply a catalytic method for removing impurities. Should just be a mix of purified hydrocarbons and fine to use.:thumb_up:

thanks for the reply kash. i have no doubts that you are correct, and when i evaped the lighter fluid myself, it was clean. but one thing that is confusing, is that when the guy emailed the zippo comapny (in the thread i link), he got a letter from a lady repersenative stating that "The Ronsonol fluid no longer contains naphtha". is she wrong? or is it that the mix of hydrocarbons is what makes up naphtha, and she wasnt aware

thanks

hi again. i just recently got the new MSDS for the ronsonol lighter fluid, and to be honest it is much more of a confusing format then their old one. it is hard to find the ingredients to it on there sheet. could someone take a quick look at it and make sure that its fine to use?

here

much appreciated by me and anyone else who uses this brand!

Hey Cyb, on step 8 in your tek you say to pour out naptha into a jar or recycle it. Would fresh naptha be a better option for the next pull or will the recycled naptha do the same job?

Either or...its the same stuff...just cheaper to recycle.
It may pick up a yellow color but that's OK by me.

Use fresh for Re-xing to get whiter xtals.

Thanks bro. Also, on step 5 it doesn't specify to release build up pressure after the shaking process.Where in step 6 does mention it. Is that correct?
I also took your advice and got some natural spring water with a PH of 7.8 and other purified waters with a Ph of 9.5 . The natural spring water comes in a glass bottle.where the others are bottled in plastic.
