• Appearance: Water white liquid with a kerosene-like odor 
• Physical state: Liquid 
• Solubility: Insoluble in water, low alcohols, and ketones, but soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents 
• Vapor pressure: 4 mm of Hg at 20°C 
• Specific gravity: 0.79 
• Boiling point: 145°C to 205°C 

C9 solvent is used in a variety of applications, including:

• Paints
• High build coating
• PVC and screen printing inks

  • Thinning: MTO can be used to thin paints, varnishes, and inks. 
  • Dissolving: MTO can be used to dissolve resins, rubber, and bitumen. 
  • Other uses: MTO can also be used in electrical insulating compounds, textile printing, dry cleaning, and as a household insecticide. 
• Physical properties: MTO has a hot, disagreeable taste and hardens when exposed to air.
