Solvent C-10 Heavy Aromatic Aromatic 150
Composition: C10 Alkylbenzenes

Solvent C-10

Heavy Aromatic Solvent / Aromatic 150

Solvent C-10 is a high-boiling aromatic hydrocarbon solvent (commonly known as Aromatic 150). It consists mainly of C10 aromatic isomers. Ruvon supplies premium grade C-10 which is prized for its high flash point, slow evaporation rate, and excellent solvency for heavy resins, bitumen, and pesticide active ingredients.

CAS Number 64742-94-5
Distillation Range 180°C - 210°C
Flash Point > 62°C

Product Overview

Solvent C-10 fills the gap where C-9 (Aromatic 100) evaporates too quickly. Its high boiling range makes it the preferred solvent for applications requiring extended wet-edge time or high-temperature processing.

  • Safe Transport: With a Flash Point > 62°C, it is often classified as non-flammable for transport in many regions, reducing logistics costs.
  • High Kauri-Butanol (KB): Extremely high solvency power (KB ~95) allows it to dissolve stubborn resins, gums, and heavy bitumen.
  • Pesticide Stability: The standard carrier for Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC) because it keeps the active ingredient stable in solution even at low temperatures.

Mechanism: The "Leaf Retention" Science

Why farmers love C-10 based sprays?

In hot climates (like India), if you spray pesticide mixed with a fast solvent (like Xylene), the solvent evaporates before the leaf can absorb the medicine.

  • Slow Release: C-10 evaporates very slowly. It keeps the pesticide in liquid form on the leaf surface for a longer time.
  • Better Absorption: This extended contact time allows the leaf stomata to absorb the active ingredient fully, ensuring the bugs die effectively. This is why major Agro companies insist on C-10 for their premium formulations.

Industrial Applications

Agrochemicals (EC)

The primary solvent for formulating insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides (EC grade).

Foundry Resins

Used in cold-box resin systems for making sand molds in foundries.

Oilfield Chemicals

Base solvent for pour point depressants and corrosion inhibitors in crude oil extraction.

Heavy Duty Coatings

Used in marine paints and automotive OEM coatings where flow and high gloss are critical.

Screen Printing Inks

Retarder solvent to prevent ink from drying on the screen mesh during printing.

Fuel Additives

Used as a carrier for fuel detergents and additives due to high solubility in diesel/petrol.

Packaging Options

185 KG / 190 KG MS Drums

Standard packing. Brand new barrels recommended for Agro use.

Road Tanker / ISO Tank

Safety & Handling Protocols

Health & Environment

Contains Naphthalene (unless using ND grade). May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.

  • Skin: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness. Use protective gloves.
  • Environment: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Prevent release to the environment.
  • ND Grade: For environmentally sensitive markets (like Europe/USA), ask for our Naphthalene Depleted (ND) grade.
