C-9, short for C-9 aromatics, is an aromatics fraction with 9 carbon atoms in the by-products of catalytic reforming and cracking of petroleum. Their boiling points are similar and it is difficult to separate further, so they are often used together. The main components of C9 include various nine-carbon aliphatic hydrocarbons, cumene, n-propylbenzene, ethyl toluene, indene, mesitylene, meta-tritoluene and o-tritoluene.
