- Company Profile:
An intermediate commodity chemical derived from benzene and propylene. Used to produce phenol and acetone which when oxidized and cleaved, produce resins, plastics and other materials.
Industry:Energy
In the chemical industry, a manufacturing process in which distillate is exposed to high temperatures to produce hydrocarbon gases. Example: thermal cracking of ethane or naphtha to produce ethylene.
Industry:Energy
Polymerization of two or more dissimilar monomers such as the creation of SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) from styrene and butadiene.
Industry:Energy
Solids, liquids, or gases, which in small percentages accelerate or enable the reaction of two or more other chemicals without themselves being consumed itself in the reaction. Sometimes the catalysts react momentarily with the other chemicals, creating conditions that permit the desired reaction to take place.
Industry:Energy
A colorless gas derived by cracking hydrocarbons with steam or by partial oxidation of natural gas. In the chemical industry, it is a by-product of ethylene. It is used as an industrial gas and to produce vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, and carbon black.
Industry:Energy
Two or more key substances that are jointly produced in a given process. Examples: (1) ethylene and propylene in a cracker (2) styrene and propylene oxide in a POSM (propylene oxide/styrene monomer) plant (3) benzene, toluene and xylenes in a reformer.
Industry:Energy
A monomer, which, in combination with another monomer, is reacted to form a polymer, resin, or elastomer. Often used to modify the properties of a product, e.g. polyethylene.
Industry:Energy
A general term referring to materials typically sold in large volumes in bulk and likely to be further processed before being used by consumers.
Industry:Energy
Finely divided particles of carbon in powder form used in the manufacture of tires and other rubber articles, plastics, inks, and many other applications. Made by the incomplete combustion of oil, acetylene or natural gas.
Industry:Energy
Substances that are coincidentally created, without a separate commercial intent, in the course of producing another substance. Usually of lesser volume or value than primary or co-products.
