    They say naphtha is

    an essential feedstock for the petrochemicals used in Taiwanʼs semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing

    but where in the manufacturing process is it used?
    A DDG search turned up a naphtha cracking plant in Taiwan that was converted in the construction of a new plant, and a bunch of hits for renewable naphtha methods, but no mention of how it’s used or why it’s needed.
