Chemical Raw Materials

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chemicals are divided into organic and inorganic categories based on the raw materials used to make them. Organic compounds usually contain carbon. For example, organic inputs such as oil and natural gas include hydrocarbons, which are the main building blocks of organic chemical products.
Inorganic inputs are usually a combination of two or more natural components and often carbon is not considered as one of their main ingredients. Although very few chemicals use oil and natural gas directly as raw materials. Instead, oil and natural gas are first processed into liquid natural gases, such as ethane and propane, or heavier liquids, such as naphtha and diesel, and then used in the process of producing chemical products.
In the first stage of processing, these raw materials are usually refined to produce primary products such as benzene and ethylene. Such primary products form the foundation of the petrochemical industry. In later stages of processing, chemicals such as chlorine are added to these original hydrocarbons to give these compounds certain desirable properties.

PVA


PVA is used in a variety of medical applications because of its biocompatability, low tendency for protein adhesion, and low toxicity. Specific uses include cartilage replacements, contact lenses, and eye drops. Polyvinyl alcohol is used as an aid in suspension polymerizations. Its largest application in China is its use as a protective colloid to make polyvinyl acetate dispersions.. In Japan its major use is the production of vinylon fiber.

tio2 ce

Tio2


Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium(IV) oxide or titania is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium, chemical formula TiO 2. When used as a pigment, it is called titanium white, Pigment White 6 (PW6), or CI 77891. Generally, it is sourced from ilmenite, rutile, and anatase.

Chromic-Acid2

Chromic acid


Chromic acid is an effective oxidant for the conversion of phenols to quinones only when a para-substituent (e.g., halogen, hydroxyl, or amino) is present. Chromic acid may also refer to the molecular species, H2CrO4 of which the trioxide is the anhydride. Chromic acid features chromium in an oxidation state of +6 (or VI). It is a strong and corrosive oxidising agent.

Butyl acrylate


Butyl acrylate is a clear colorless liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. It is readily miscible with most organic solvents. It is readily polymerized and displays a wide range of properties dependent upon the selection of the monomer and reaction conditions.

Acrylic_acid

Acrylic acid


Acrylic acid (IUPAC: propenoic acid) is an organic compound with the formula CH2=CHCOOH. It is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid, consisting of a vinyl group connected directly to a carboxylic acid terminus. This colorless liquid has a characteristic acrid or tart smell. It is miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. More than a million tons are produced annually.

Methyl methacrylate

MMA


Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an organic compound with the formula CH2=C(CH3)COOCH3. This colourless liquid, the methyl ester of methacrylic acid (MAA) is a monomer produced on a large scale for the production of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

veova 10

VeoVa 10


VeoVa 10 monomer is the vinyl ester of Versatic acid 10, a synthetic saturated monocarboxylic acid with a highly branched structure containing ten carbon atoms . VeoVa 10 monomer, a low viscosity liquid with a typical mild ester odor, is a very attractive monomer for the manufacture of polymers through reactions of the vinyl group. It imparts a combination of flexibility (medium to low Tg), hydrophobicity and very good chemical and UV resistance.

Monopropylene-Glycol

MPG


Monopropylene Glycol (MPG) is a derivative of Propylene Oxide (PO) and is produced in a twostep process. The first step is the reaction of PO with water into a mixture of MPG and Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) and the second step is the distillation and purification of the mixture into its two separate components (MPG and DPG) with MPG being the main component.
