Discover our range of chemical intermediates, advanced synthesis materials, and high-boiling aromatic fractions.
C9 Solvent (often referred to generically as Aromatic Solvent 100 or Solvent Naphtha) is a key petroleum derivative consisting primarily of C9 aromatic hydrocarbons. Characterized by high solvency, a narrow boiling range, and high flashpoints, C9 solvents are widely utilized as heavy-duty carrier solvents in coatings, printing inks, agricultural emulsifiable concentrates (EC), and industrial cleaning formulations.
These solvents are obtained through the fractional distillation of crude oil cracking products. The major components of the C9 fraction include trimethylbenzenes (such as pseudocumene and mesitylene), ethyltoluenes, propylbenzenes, and indane. By isolating these high-boiling fractions, manufacturers like Shandong Saier Chemical can supply highly stable, consistent mixtures that comply with global industrial requirements.
Unlike aliphatic solvents, C9 aromatics offer significantly greater resin solubility and a slower evaporation rate. This makes them crucial for applications requiring extended open time, high glossy finishes, and chemical compatibility with complex polymer matrices.
Our typical product matrix covers grades from S-100 (C9 base) up to S-200 (C10-C12 heavy aromatics), including low-naphthalene configurations tailored for strict pesticide regulations.
We ensure compliance with ASTM standards covering distillation endpoints, KB value (Kauri-Butanol), sulfur content, and visual color index (Saybolt color).
Saier Chemical secures consistent quality by integrating raw materials from China’s leading petrochemical giants.
We maintain deep direct sourcing agreements with Sinopec, PetroChina, ChemChina, Zhejiang Petrochemical, and Hengli Petrochemical. This guarantees high-purity feedstock supply even during global market constraints.
Our facility leverages automated distillation columns capable of high-precision cut separations, controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) parameters and limiting toxic heavy aromatic trace content.
From gas chromatography testing on incoming C9 fractions to final storage stability analysis, every batch is verified by internal QA and certified third-party testing organizations (such as SGS).
A trusted industrial pioneer situated in the heart of Shandong’s petrochemical manufacturing corridor.
Established in December 2004, Shandong Saier Chemical Technology Development Co., Ltd. is located at No. 207, WeiLiu Road, Qilu Chemical Industrial Park, Linzi, Zibo City, Shandong Province. With a solid initial foundation built on 60 million yuan of registered capital, our growth path is closely linked with the technological progression of China's heavy chemical industry.
We specialized early on in the distribution and manufacture of premium-grade environmentally friendly high-boiling aromatic solvents. Our lineup features key aromatic fractions including S-100, S-150, S-150ND, S-180, and S-200. Beyond solvents, Saier Chemical produces heat transfer oils (such as L-QC320) and key fine chemical intermediates like durene, MIPK, TMOF, TMOA, HPA, TMG, and thiophene derivatives.
Over the years, we have transitioned from a regional production hub into a globally recognized enterprise, supplying chemicals to critical industrial buyers across Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan, and internationally across Asia, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.

Note on Custom Cuts (OEM/ODM): As a direct manufacturer, we offer custom fractionation modifications. Clients can request narrow-range boiling targets or specialized low-sulfur profiles to align with local environmental frameworks.
How our custom C9 aromatic formulations power diverse industrial sectors worldwide.
Used widely as an evaporation retarder and viscosity modifier in industrial baking enamels, automotive topcoats, and coil coatings. Provides superior film gloss, leveling, and adhesion properties during high-temperature curing cycles.
Serves as a robust carrier liquid for active herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide ingredients. C9 solvents are selected due to their high solubility properties, chemical stability under sun exposure, and low phytotoxicity.
Provides critical fluid dynamics, pigments suspension stability, and drying controls in industrial printing inks. Ensures stable viscosity profiles inside operating machinery, improving layout consistency on plastic, metal, and glass packaging.

Under dry, cool, and well-ventilated indoor conditions, stored in sealed carbon steel or stainless steel tanks, C9 solvents can be preserved for up to 24 months. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, open flames, and heat sources to prevent evaporation and static accumulation.
We leverage advanced fractional distillation technologies to separate naphthalene molecules (which have a higher boiling point of 218°C) from the lighter C9 cuts. This process yields S-150ND, which limits naphthalene levels to under 1.0% or 0.1% depending on the specific regulatory requirements of your target agricultural markets.
Yes. Our automated processing equipment allows us to adjust temperature cuts on our distillation towers. We can tailor boiling ranges, flashpoint thresholds, and solvency ratings to suit specialized paint, coating, or ink requirements.
Every shipment is accompanied by a full export documentation pack. This includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying tested physical parameters, a GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) in the destination language, Bill of Lading (B/L), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Certificate of Origin (CO) to help facilitate smooth customs clearance.
For standard aromatic solvent S-100 or S-150 orders in ISO tanks, our standard lead time is 7 to 14 days from contract finalization. Customized cuts or specific packaging configurations, such as labeling drums, can take 15 to 20 days depending on production queue cycles.
