MP63 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I have a can of Sunnyside Naphtha. I also see that here are Naphthas that are labeled, VM & P Naphtha. Besides the labeling, what are the differences in their uses. I want to thin some varnish, and have the Naphtha without the 'VM & P.' Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Aliphatic Napthalene is what it is unless any additives are specifically in there. These would be on the label of contents anyway. The "VM & P" bit indicates "varnish manufacturing & paint" and in my opinion just adds confusion. Kind of like terming water as "water for splashing" or "water for freezing". You're good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP63 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks. I figured it was something like that. Kinda like calling the time "nine-fifty," "ten till ten." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Pretty much. I guess manufacturers just want to push their solvents as the ideal product for specific applications despite it being what it is. Simple stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
