moonXus offers a comprehensive range of high-quality petrochemicals, intermediates, monomers, and specialty chemicals for global industries.
Alcohols are crucial petrochemicals derived from olefins/paraffins, serving as vital solvents (like isopropanol), intermediates for plastics/detergents/fibers (e.g., ethylene glycol for antifreeze, fatty alcohols for detergents), and direct fuel additives (methanol, ethanol). Major examples include methanol (formaldehyde), ethanol (fuel, solvent), isopropanol (acetone), butanols (solvents), and ethylene glycol (antifreeze), all produced via petrochemical routes like olefin hydration or syngas conversion, with growing use as alternative energy carriers.
Anhydrides, primarily Phthalic Anhydride (PA) and Maleic Anhydride (MA), are vital petrochemicals derived from fossil fuels (like ortho-xylene or n-butane) and used as intermediates to make plasticizers for PVC, resins for paints, coatings, and polyesters, and for other applications like dyes and pharmaceuticals
Aromatics in petrochemicals are ring-shaped hydrocarbons, primarily Benzene,Aniline,Cumene, Toluene, and Xylenes (BTX), and othersderived from crude oil, serving as essential building blocks for countless everyday products like plastics (polystyrene, PET), synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon), solvents, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and paints
The chemical gases Butadiene, Butene-1, Crude C-4s, Ethylene, Propylene, and Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) are essential petrochemical building blocks (olefins) used to manufacture a vast array of materials, primarily plastics, synthetic rubbers, and various intermediate chemicals.
ChlorAlkali Chemicals serving as fundamental building blocks for countless industries like PVC, water treatment, soaps, paper, and aluminum .
Fiber intermediates from petrochemicals are key building blocks (like PTA, Acrylonitrile, Ethylene Glycols) derived from oil and gas, used to create synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon, acrylic) for textiles, packaging, automotive, and plastics, linking the oil & gas industry to consumer goods through complex chemical processing
Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) like ethane, propane, and butane are crucial petrochemical feedstocks, extracted from natural gas, serving as the building blocks for plastics, synthetic rubber, and other chemicals
2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) and Isobutyl Alcohol (IBA) are key oxo alcohols, produced from olefins (like propylene) and synthesis gas via hydroformylation (the "oxo process"), serving as vital intermediates in petrochemicals, mainly for plasticizers (making PVC flexible), coatings, solvents, lubricants, and adhesives, with 2-EH crucial for PVC plasticizers like DOP/DEHP, and IBA used in paints and fuel additives
Plasticizers in petrochemicals are chemical additives, primarily petroleum-derived esters like phthalates, used to increase the flexibility, softness, and workability of polymers, especially PVC, by getting between polymer chains to reduce intermolecular forces
Acetates (esters), acetones, glycol ethers, and methyl ethyl ketones (MEK) are widely used oxygenated solvents in various industries, including petrochemicals, primarily for their strong ability to dissolve a broad range of synthetic and natural resins
Alpha olefins (AOs) are crucial petrochemical building blocks, featuring a reactive double bond at the first carbon, used primarily as comonomers in polyethylene (LLDPE) to add toughness, and in making detergents, synthetic lubricants (PAOs), plasticizers, and surfactants, derived from ethylene via oligomerization or steam cracking
