Aromatic > 98%
Solvent C-9 is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons with 9 carbon atoms (Propylbenzenes, Trimethylbenzenes). Unlike Xylene or Toluene, C-9 has a higher boiling point and slower evaporation rate, making it essential for high-gloss paints and agrochemical formulations where rapid drying is not desired.
Solvent C-9 is often referred to as "Aromatic 100." It has excellent solvency for synthetic resins like alkyds, acrylics, and epoxies. Its high KB value (Kauri-Butanol > 90) means it can dissolve heavy resins that mineral spirits cannot.
Conforms to ASTM D-843 Standard.

Paint drying is a race. If the solvent leaves too fast (like Xylene in hot summer), the paint dries before it can flatten out, leaving rough brush marks or "Orange Peel."
High gloss enamels, varnishes, and marine coatings where slow drying is required.
Solvent for herbicides and pesticides. Its high aromaticity dissolves difficult active ingredients easily.
Used in screen printing and offset inks to retard drying and prevent screen clogging.
Used in car PU paints to ensure a premium finish without pinholes or blushing.
Heavy-duty degreaser for cleaning machinery parts, engines, and removing tar/asphalt.
Used in the formulation of corrosion inhibitors and demulsifiers for crude oil.
Standard heavy-duty steel drums. Reconditioned or New.
Bulk supply (18-20 MT) for large paint factories.
Solvent C-9 is a Class 3 Flammable Liquid (Flash Point ~42°C).
Virgin Grade Aromatic 100. High Solvency & Slow Evaporation.
