Petrochemical Products

The category of petrochemical products entails two broad subcategories which are industrial fuel and petrochemical products. Industrial fuel comprises diesel fuel, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene and other industrial fuel whereas petrochemical products consist of bitumen, lubricant, mazut, paraffin, and petroleum gas Vaseline as well as other petrochemical related products. Petrochemical products, as it sounds to be, are those products and items which are made by mixing petrol with other chemicals and chemical agents as per different individual and industrial needs, requirements and functions. Petrochemical products are processed forms of crude oil such as kerosene, diesel, high octane and petrol etc. Different vehicles need different chemicals. For examples, crude oil in used in aero planes but the same oil is not usually used in motor vehicles. Vehicles need several petrochemical products to make it run smoothly. Manufacturing petrochemical products is a separate and specialized domain and there are a few companies which produce various types of different petrochemical products and similar items. Due to ever increasing demands in all parts of the world, petrochemical products have become routine items purchased by the general people; therefore petrochemical engineers are now working hard to produce more forms and kinds of petrochemicals because of different requirements and needs of the industrial world. For that reason, we can easily call petrochemical products as industrial products that are used by various industries and products units on a mass level.
