Wikipedia about petrochemical

Grangemouth04nov06.jpg

The following is a partial list of the major commercial petrochemicals and their derivatives:

  • ethylene - the simplest olefin; used as a ripening hormone, a monomer and a chemical feedstock
  • polyethylenes - polymerized ethylene
  • ethanol - made by hydration (chemical reaction adding water) of ethylene
  • ethylene oxide - sometimes called oxirane; can be made by oxidation of ethylene
  • ethylene glycol - from hydration of ethylene oxide or oxidation of ethylene
  • engine coolant - contains ethylene glycol
  • polyesters - any of several polymers with ester linkages in the backbone chain
  • glycol ethers - from condensation of glycols
  • ethoxylates
  • vinyl acetate
  • 1,2-dichloroethane
  • trichloroethylene
  • tetrachloroethylene - also called perchloroethylene; used as a dry cleaning solvent and degreaser
  • vinyl chloride - monomer for polyvinyl chloride
  • polyvinyl chloride (PVC) - type of plastic used for piping, tubing, other things
  • propylene - used as a monomer and a chemical feedstock
  • isopropyl alcohol - 2-propanol; often used as a solvent or rubbing alcohol
  • acrylonitrile - useful as a monomer in forming Orlon, ABS
  • polypropylene - polymerized propylene
  • propylene oxide
  • propylene glycol - sometimes used in engine coolant
  • glycol ethers - from condensation of glycols
  • isomers of butylene - useful as monomers or co-monomers
  • isobutylene - feed for making methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) or monomer for copolymerization with a low percentage of isoprene to make butyl rubber
  • 1,3-butadiene - a diene often used as a monomer or co-monomer for polymerization to elastomers such as polybutadiene or a plastic such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)
  • synthetic rubbers - synthetic elastomers made of any one or more of several petrochemical (usually) monomers such as 1,3-butadiene, styrene, isobutylene, isoprene, chloroprene; elastomeric polymers are often made with a high percentage of conjugated diene monomers such as 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, or chloroprene
  • higher olefins
  • polyolefins such poly-alpha-olefins which are used as lubricants
  • alpha-olefins - used as monomers, co-monomers, and other chemical precursors. For example, a small amount of 1-hexene can be copolymerized with ethylene into a more flexible form of polyethylene.
  • other higher olefins
  • detergent alcohols
  • acrylic acid
  • acrylic polymers
  • allyl chloride -
  • epichlorohydrin - chloro-oxirane; used in epoxy resin formation
  • epoxy resins - a type of polymerizing glue from bisphenol A, epichlorohydrin, and some amine
  • benzene - the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon
  • ethylbenzene - made from benzene and ethylene
  • styrene made by dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene; used as a monomer
  • polystyrenes - polymers with styrene as a monomer
  • cumene - isopropylbenzene; a feedstock in the cumene process
  • phenol - hydroxybenzene; often made by the cumene process
  • acetone - dimethyl ketone; also often made by the cumene process
  • bisphenol A - a type of "double" phenol used in polymerization in epoxy resins and making a common type of polycarbonate
  • epoxy resins - a type of polymerizing glue from bisphenol A, epichlorohydrin, and some amine
  • polycarbonate - a plastic polymer made from bisphenol A and phosgene (carbonyl dichloride)
  • solvents - liquids used for dissolving materials; examples often made from petrochemicals include ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, benzene, toluene, xylenes
  • cyclohexane - a 6-carbon aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon sometimes used as a non-polar solvent
  • adipic acid - a 6-carbon dicarboxylic acid which can be a precursor used as a co-monomer together with a diamine to form an alternating copolymer form of nylon.
  • nylons - types of polyamides, some are alternating copolymers formed from copolymerizing dicarboxylic acid or derivatives with diamines
  • caprolactam - a 6-carbon cyclic amide
  • nylons - types of polyamides, some are from polymerizing caprolactam
  • nitrobenzene - can be made by single nitration of benzene
  • aniline - aminobenzene
  • methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) - used as a co-monomer with diols or polyols to form polyurethanes or with di- or polyamines to form polyureas
  • polyurethanes
  • alkylbenzene - a general type of aromatic hydrocarbon which can be used as a presursor for a sulfonate surfactant (detergent)
  • detergents - often include surfactants types such as alkylbenzenesulfonates and nonylphenol ethoxylates
  • chlorobenzene
  • toluene - methylbenzene; can be a solvent or precursor for other chemicals
  • benzene
  • toluene diisocyanate (TDI) - used as co-monomers with diols or polyols to form polyurethanes or with di- or polyamines to form polyureas
  • polyurethanes - a polymer formed from diisocyanates and diols or polyols
  • benzoic acid - carboxybenzene
  • caprolactam
  • nylon
  • mixed xylenes - any of three dimethylbenzene isomers, could be a solvent but more often precursor chemicals
  • ortho-xylene - both methyl groups can be oxidized to form (ortho-)phthalic acid
  • phthalic anhydride
  • para-xylene - both methyl groups can be oxidized to form terephthalic acid
  • dimethyl terephthalate - can be copolymerized to form certain polyesters
  • polyesters - although there can be many types, polyethylene terephthalate is made from petrochemical products and is very widely used.
  • purified terephthalic acid - often copolymerized to form polyethylene terephthalate
  • polyesters
