C-9 Aromatic Solvent is a petroleum-derived aromatic hydrocarbon solvent widely used as a versatile raw material and solvent across several industrial applications. C-9 aromatic hydrocarbons are composed primarily of aromatic compounds containing nine carbon atoms and are commonly associated with C9/C10/C12 aromatic hydrocarbon streams used in industrial chemical and resin applications.

C-9 Aromatic Solvent typically has a distinctive aromatic odour and ranges from dark yellow to dark brown in appearance, with a typical Gardner colour of approximately 6–10, depending on the product grade and composition.

The product is insoluble in water and generally has limited solubility in lower alcohols and ketones, while showing good compatibility with aliphatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents. These properties make C-9 Aromatic Solvent suitable for applications requiring strong solvency and compatibility with hydrocarbon-based formulations.

Applications of C-9 Aromatic Solvent

C-9 Aromatic Solvent is used across a broad range of industrial applications, including:

  • Paints & Coatings – Used as a solvent and formulation component in industrial coatings and paint systems.
  • Printing Inks – Suitable for printing inks, offset inks, and related ink formulations.
  • Ink Reducers – Used in suitable solvent blends and reducer formulations.
  • Agrochemicals – Used as a solvent or formulation component in agricultural chemical products.
  • Surfactants & Emulsifiers – Used as a raw material or solvent in selected chemical formulations.
  • Oilfield Chemicals – Used in various oilfield chemical and treatment formulations.
  • Foundry Chemicals – Suitable for selected foundry and metal-processing chemical applications.
  • Water Treatment Chemicals – Used in compatible chemical formulations for water-treatment applications.
  • Disinfectants – Used as a solvent component in selected industrial disinfectant formulations.
  • Wash Oils – Used in industrial cleaning and wash-oil applications.
  • Hot Road Markings – Used in suitable road-marking formulations.
  • Rubber Industry – Used as a solvent and formulation component in selected rubber applications.
