A clear, low-viscosity hydrocarbon solvent, C9 Naphtha is recognized for its high volatility, strong solvency, and suitability as a feedstock in petrochemical and resin production. C10 Naphtha, slightly heavier and slower evaporating, is preferred in coatings, cleaning agents, and adhesive formulations that require controlled drying and reduced odor. Both grades are known for their stability, consistent composition, and compatibility with organic systems, making them essential components across petrochemical, coatings, and industrial solvent applications.
Used as a feedstock in steam cracking units to produce ethylene, propylene, benzene, toluene, and xylene. Delivers consistent performance and high yield for petrochemical intermediates.
Serves as a solvent and diluent in alkyd, enamel, and industrial coating formulations. Provides optimal drying time, viscosity control, and improved surface finish.
Acts as a carrier solvent that enhances adhesion properties, film formation, and stability in industrial adhesive systems.
Used to dissolve and process rubber compounds, ensuring proper dispersion of additives and uniform blending.
Employed as a hydrocarbon solvent for removing grease, oil, and contaminants from metal and mechanical surfaces.
Sometimes blended into fuels as a volatility modifier or used in extraction and refining processes that require balanced evaporation characteristics.

Naphtha is a petroleum-derived hydrocarbon liquid produced during the distillation of crude oil. Depending on molecular composition, it is classified into light, heavy, C9, and C10 grades.
Both C9 and C10 naphtha contain paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons that make them highly effective solvents and feedstocks in modern industry.
Their versatility, clean-burning characteristics, and wide boiling range make them essential components in refining, coatings, chemical manufacturing, and polymer production
