PARAFFIN WAX
Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid derivable from petroleum, that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F). Common applications for paraffin wax include lubrication, electrical insulation, candles, wax paper, […]
HYDROCARBON
Hydrocarbon, any of a class of organic chemical compounds composed only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). The carbon atoms join together to form the framework of the compound, and the hydrogen atoms attach to them in many different configurations. Hydrocarbons are the principal constituents of petroleum and natural gas. Most hydrocarbons are […]
PETROLEUM JELLY / VASELINE OVERVIEW
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline, Soft Paraffin or Petrolatum) is a mixture of refined semi-solid hydrocarbons. It is translucent, devoid of taste and smell. Petroleum jelly, also called Petrolatum, translucent, yellowish to amber or white, the unctuous substance having almost no odor or taste, derived from petroleum and used principally in medicine and pharmacy as a protective dressing and as […]
RPO (Rubber Process Oil)
Rubber Process Oil, both synthetic and natural are commercially used to produce products from rubber bands to a toy to the giant tires for various vehicles including aircraft. Rubber Process Oils are used during the mixing of rubber compounds. IPOL Rubber process oils are specially developed taking into consideration the type of rubber and the […]
GASOLINE GB(IV) – GB(V)
Gasoline, also known as petrol, is the most commonly used transport fuel. It is a highly volatile hydrocarbon derived from crude oil. In its natural state gasoline is a liquid with a strong solvent smell. Typically it is used to fuel internal combustion engines for cars, motorbikes, trucks, boats and other transport vehicles. Highly refined […]
Petroleum Coke (Petcoke)
Petroleum Coke, abbreviated Coke or Petcoke, is a final carbon-rich solid material that derives from oil refining and is one type of the group of fuels referred to as cokes. Petcoke is the coke that, in particular, derives from a final cracking process–a thermo-based chemical engineering process that splits long chain hydrocarbons of petroleum into shorter chains—that takes place in […]
Base Oils
Base Oils are used to manufacture products including lubricating greases, motor oil, and metal processing fluids. Almost every lubricant used in plants today started off as just a base oil. Different products require different compositions and properties in the oil. One of the most important factors is the liquid’s viscosity at various temperatures. The kind of […]
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN)
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) is a liquid fertilizer solution. Fluid fertilizers are popular in many areas because they are safe to handle, convenient to mix with other nutrients and chemicals, and are easily applied. A solution of urea [CO(NH2)2] and ammonium nitrate [NH4NO3] containing between 28, 30 and 32 percent nitrogen (N) is the most popular […]
