Premium grade hydrocarbons and high-purity chemical intermediates direct from our manufacturing lines.
In modern industrial applications, Solvent C10 (also widely designated as heavy aromatic naphtha C10, Aromatic 150, or heavy aromatic hydrocarbons) represents a vital segment of heavy aromatic distillates. Derived from the catalytic reforming or cracking fractions of raw petroleum, Solvent C10 consists predominantly of C10 aromatic hydrocarbons. These primarily include alkylbenzenes, dicycloparaffins, and naphthalene-depleted fractions, boiling within the high-temperature range of approximately 180°C to 210°C.
Unlike aliphatic solvents, the molecular configuration of Solvent C10 provides exceptional solvency for complex organic compounds. Its unique balance between structural solubility parameters and slow, uniform evaporation makes it indispensable in sectors ranging from state-of-the-art agricultural emulsifiable concentrates (EC) to high-bake automotive coatings, advanced printing inks, and chemical process intermediates.

Founded in December 2004, Shandong Saier Chemical Technology Development Co., Ltd. has established a formidable presence in Zibo City, Shandong Province. Strategically located within the Qilu Chemical Industrial Park (No. 207, WeiLiu Road, Linzi), the company benefits from proximity to state-of-the-art petroleum refining hubs, creating a direct value pipeline from chemical production to terminal global delivery.
With a robust registered capital of 60 million yuan, Saier Chemical initially developed high-boiling aromatic solvents, covering the S-100, S-150, S-150ND, S-180, and S-200 series, alongside specialized Heat Transfer Oils (L-QC320) and intermediates such as durene, PVC plasticizers, thiophene, 1,3-Cyclohexanedione, MIPK, TMOF, TMOA, HPA, and TMG. Utilizing primary feedstocks from China's petrochemical giants—including Sinopec, PetroChina, ChemChina, Zhejiang Petrochemical, and Hengli Petrochemical—the refinery complex commands an annual output capacity of 720,000 tons, supplying markets across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Southeast Asia.
2004: Founded with a strategic focus on high-boiling aromatic fractions.
2012: Plant capacity scaled to meet increasing agricultural and coatings demands.
2018: Designated a National High-Tech Enterprise following modernization of our rectification columns.
Present: Pioneering ultra-low naphthalene processes to comply with stringent EU REACH and EPA regulations.
Examining the structural, economic, and technological advantages that make Shandong Saier Chemical a critical node in global supply chains.
Located within the Qilu Chemical Industrial Park, Saier Chemical maintains direct pipeline links and long-term procurement agreements with Sinopec and PetroChina refineries. This integration stabilizes raw material supply against volatile global energy markets.
Our facility features vacuum fractional distillation units equipped with DCS (Distributed Control Systems). This allows precise separation of C10 components, ensuring consistent flash point, distillation range, and isomer profiles batch after batch.
Unlike standard generic commodity suppliers, Saier Chemical offers tailored Solvent C10 adjustments. We can adjust the aromatic distribution or reduce naphthalene content to meet custom specification requirements for specific industrial applications.
Aromatic Solvent C10 acts as a versatile vehicle across diverse industrial frameworks. Its physical profile yields distinct benefits in several key areas:
In the crop protection sector, active ingredients (pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides) are often highly crystalline and hydrophobic. Solvent C10 provides:
For coil, container, and automotive coatings, film-forming properties are heavily dependent on solvent evaporation rate. Solvent C10 offers:
Beyond coating matrices, Solvent C10 serves as a medium for specialized chemical processes:
High-speed screen and gravure printing requires inks that remain fluid on the applicator but dry predictably on the substrate:
Globally, environmental and occupational safety regulations are reshaping chemical procurement criteria. The traditional Aromatic C10 fraction naturally contains between 5% and 9% naphthalene, which is classified as a potential carcinogen (Hazard Statement H351) and is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H411).
Consequently, regulatory bodies such as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) under REACH, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have tightened standards. There is a strong market shift toward Low-Naphthalene Aromatic Solvent C10 (often designated as S150 ND or S150 LN), which limits naphthalene content to under 1%, and in some strict consumer applications, below 0.1%.
