Solvents: these are oils used to thin the paints and increase the spread.
They are also called thinner.
They make the paint workable consistency and evaporate during the drying of the film.
Eg: Naptha, Sprit, petroleum, turpentine oil etc.

What is naptha?
Deepak said:

Naphtha is a petroleum solvent similar to mineral spirits but with a greater volatility; it is used chiefly as a paint thinner or a cleaning agent. Naphtha is a more powerful solvent than mineral spirits, so less is needed to thin the same amount of paint.

Commercially, the term "paint thinner" is rather broad, and can cover many different solvents like mineral spirits, naptha, even turpentine.
