VM&P Naphtha Rule 66 (Varnish Makers' & Painters' Naphtha - Rule 66 Compliant) is a specially refined, fast-evaporating aliphatic petroleum solvent formulated to meet strict photochemical smog and environmental air quality regulations. Modified to contain less than 1% total aromatic hydrocarbons (strictly limiting olefins and branched-chain ketones), Rule 66 VM&P Naphtha serves as an environmentally responsible, exempt solvent for industrial coating thinning, precision parts washing, and surface prep. It rapidly dissolves shop oils, light grease, waxes, and uncured adhesives without leaving greasy non-volatile residues (NVR). With a flash-off speed significantly faster than standard mineral spirits, it ensures optimal atomization for spray paints, varnishes, and industrial primers while keeping shop operations fully compliant with regional clean air emissions guidelines.
Technical Specifications & Cross-References
- Chemical Name: Varnish Makers' & Painters' Naphtha (Rule 66 / Photochemically Reactive Exempt)
- CAS Registry Numbers: 64742-89-8 / 8032-32-4
- Chemical Family: Low-Aromatic Light Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
- Physical State: Clear, Colorless Liquid
- Aromatic Content: < 1% Volume (Strictly limits reactive photochemically active compounds)
- Flash Point: ~50°F to 55°F (10°C to 13°C) [Tag Closed Cup - Flammable Liquid]
- Evaporation Rate: Fast (Dries significantly faster than Stoddard solvent / Standard mineral spirits)
- Boiling Range: 240°F to 300°F (115°C to 149°C)
- Specific Gravity: 0.74 – 0.76 at 60°F
- Residue After Evaporation: Zero / Non-Volatile Residue (NVR) Compliant
Approved Specifications & Industrial Conformance:
VM&P Naphtha Rule 66 meets strict environmental air regulation and industrial coating standards:
- Rule 66 Air Quality Conformance: Fully compliant with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 66 and equivalent regional photochemically reactive solvent regulations.
- ASTM Standard Classification: Meets and exceeds the performance parameters of ASTM D3735 (Standard Specification for VM&P Naphthas, Low-Aromatic Type).
- Federal Specification Baseline: Conforms to Federal Specification TT-N-95 Type I guidelines for low-aromatic aliphatic solvents.
Key Features & Performance Benefits
- Rule 66 Environmental Compliance: Low-aromatic formulation reduces hazardous air pollutant (HAP) profiles and avoids photochemically reactive smog generation.
- Rapid Flash-Off & Evaporation: Accelerates drying times in spray applications and speeds up shop throughput compared to slow-evaporating mineral spirits.
- Residue-Free Surface Preparation: Evaporates completely clean, leaving no oil film or contaminants that could cause paint adhesion failure or fish-eyes.
- High-Solvency Paint Thinning: Lowers viscosity for smooth spray atomization of oil-based primers, enamels, varnishes, and industrial finishes.
- Broad Substrate Compatibility: Safe for solvent cleaning across aluminum alloys, titanium, stainless steel, brass, and solvent-resistant polymers.
Typical Applications
- Regulated Industrial Coating Thinning: Used in facilities operating under strict VOC and air quality controls to thin oil-based paints, enamels, and varnishes.
- Pre-Paint & Surface Solvent Washing: Ideal for wiping down aircraft parts, structural steel, and machinery prior to primer or topcoat application.
- Precision Tooling & Equipment Maintenance: Used in parts washers and dip tanks for flushing spray guns, shop tooling, and metal components.

All Sales Channels: This policy applies to all orders processed by Aircraft Shop Supply, including but not limited to: website purchases, direct email orders, formal Purchase Orders (POs), phone orders, and contract agreements.
2. Inventory Management (FIFO)
All products with an expiration date are managed and shipped on a strict "First In – First Out" (FIFO) basis.
3. Minimum Shipping Margin
Standard Guarantee: We will not ship any products with fewer than 30 days of use remaining (days before expiration), unless previously coordinated and agreed upon with the customer.
No Automatic Guarantees: Outside of this 30-day minimum margin, Aircraft Shop Supply does not make any automatic guarantee as to the specific length of time remaining on any shelf-life item for standard orders.
4. Special Customer Requirements
We understand that certain projects, maintenance schedules, or regulatory standards require strict specifications. If your order has specific shelf-life requirements, please proceed as follows:
How to Request: If you require a specific Date of Manufacture (DOM), Date of Expiration (DOE), or a specific minimum shelf-life percentage (%), you must clearly state this requirement:
In the Comments/Notes section when placing an online order.
Explicitly written on your Purchase Order (PO) or quote request email for offline orders.
Validation Process: Once your requirement is received:
We will ship your order if the available stock matches your specifications.
If we do not have the exact batch, we will contact you prior to shipping with the shelf-life percentage (%) or dates we have available for your acceptance.
