Methanol (CH3OH) is a clear, water-soluble, and readily biodegradable liquid chemical composed of four parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, and one part carbon, making it the simplest alcohol.

Being formed of a part of a molecule (as opposed to the molecule itself), acetyls constitute a group of interesting petrochemical products.

Ammonia sulphate is the main component of the products used by the agricultural sector, such as fertilisers.

Aromatics consist of purified terephthalic acid (PTA), Paraxylene (PX) and Metaxylene (MX). They constitute parts of products, such as soft drink bottles, packaging trays, but also clothing items and carpets.

Base chemicals are a broad group of several petrochemical products. The most well-known are toluene, ethylene, benzene, propylene, butadiene and butylenes. They are the base for other products such as polyethylene and ethanol.

This well-known industrial chemical can be found in pulp, paper, detergents, packaging, and textiles and is used in the agriculture industry, environmental protection sector, water treatment, healthcare, chemical industry, construction and automotive industry.

Chlorine’s main use is the purification of drinking water. It can also be used to produce pharmaceuticals, in metallurgy, electronics and food industries. All of these sectors use chemical products such as hydrochloric acid which contains chlorine.

Oxides consist of such substances as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and their derivatives. They are supplemented by acetate esters, norbornenes, and oxo-alcohols. Oxides play a crucial role in our everyday life. They are used in the production of polyesters, paints and coatings, antifreeze and industrial coolants as well as aircraft deicing.

These substances are very popular in industries producing tyres, drilling fluids, speciality acids and chemicals, plastic additives, lubricant additives, agricultural chemicals, and even fragrances and cosmetics detergents. 

Base chemicals are a broad group of several petrochemical products. The most well-known are toluene, ethylene, benzene, propylene, butadiene and butylenes. They are the base for other products such as polyethylene and ethanol.

Phenol has a variety of applications in many industries. Some of the most important are the electrical/electronics market, automotive market, construction industry, household and furniture industry.

Pigments widely used in various industries are titanium dioxide and titanium chemical products. They are used to produce many household objects such as, for instance, PVC windows, and powder-coated doors.

Chemical products, such as PIA (purified isophthalic acid), TMA (trimellitic anhydride) and MAN (Maleic Anhydride) have many various applications. Some of them you can find listed below.

The Styrenics group consists of styrene monomer, polystyrene, ABS and styrenic specialities.
