Basic Raw Materials
1. Ethylene: Ethylene is one of the most important raw materials in the petrochemical industry and is used as a basis for the production of many chemicals and plastics. This material is usually obtained from the cracking process of crude oil and natural gas and is used as the main material for the production of polyethylene, one of the most widely used plastics.
2. Propylene: Propylene is also a vital material in the petrochemical industry and is mainly obtained from the cracking of oil and gas. It is used to produce polypropylene, which is used in many consumer products including packaging, household appliances and automotive parts.
3. Benzene: Benzene is obtained from the distillation of crude oil and is used as a raw material for the production of various chemicals including styrene and phenylene. Gasoline is used in the paint, pharmaceutical, and industrial chemical industries.
4. Toluene: Toluene is another basic raw material obtained from crude oil and is used as a solvent in various industries. It is especially used in the production of paints, industrial chemicals, and plastics.
5. Xylene: Xylene is also produced from crude oil and is used in various industries, including the production of paints, resins, and industrial chemicals. This material has three isomers, each of which has its own specific applications.
