The Surprising Products We Get From Crude Oil

THE SURPRISING PRODUCTS WE GET FROM CRUDE OIL BACTINE Propene is combined with other chemicals to make anesthetics like Bactine. LPG TUPPERWARE REFINERY GASES WAX PAPER HAIR DYE Paraffin puts the 'wax' in your wax paper. Propane and butane are two of the gases in LPG, which powers your grill. Including propene, propane and butane, Propene is also used to make polypropylene, a plastic used for Tupperware. PHENOL Phenol can be made SUNSCREEN from benzene, which is distilled from crude. Phenol is the basis for a range of plastics and pharmaceuticals. CRAYONS VIRGIN LIGHT NAPHTHA BOILING RANGE: ASPIRIN Paraffin wax is combined with color pigments to make crayons. Light naphtha is high in paraffin, which is used to make paraffin wax. <85°F GASOLINE BLENDING D COMPONENTS GASOLINE CANDLES NAPHTHA Naphtha is usually distilled further into 85-185°F Distillation produces 19 gallons of gasoline per 42 gallon barrel of crude oil. It's then mixed additives like fuel injector cleaner and ethanol before going in your gas tank. Paraffin is the most two streams. commonly used candle making wax. VIRGIN HEAVY NAPHTHA CAMPING FUEL 185-350°F Heavy naphtha is a crucial element for the production of plastics. There are two main families of plastics. TEFLON KEROSENE Kerosene is often used as a fuel for camping stoves. Kerosene has a higher flash point than gasoline, which means it ignites at higher temperatures. JET FUEL VINYI. THERMOPLASTICS Soften on heating and harden again on cooling. THERMOSETS Never soften once molded. 350-450°F Because friction from the surrounding air can create heat in aircrafts, most jet fuel is kerosene-based, rather than gasoline-based. NYLON DIESEL VULCANIZED RUBBER INFLATABLE ЕРОХУ RESIN RAFTS 450-650°F U.S. refineries make on average 10 gallons of diesel per 42 gallon barrel of crude. HOME HEATING BASEOIL. DIESEL FUEL LUBRICATING OILS 650-1,050°F Home heating oil is basically the same as diesel, but it is taxed at a lower rate. Heating oil is dyed red to show it has not been taxed as highly, and can't be used for vehicles. Base oils are widely used for lubrication in US manufacturing plants. In colder climates, diesel needs low-temperature additives to prevent gelling. Mineral oils are the most FUEL FOR SHIPS PETROLEUM JELLY commonly used lubricating oils, and all mineral oils are derived from crude. >1,050 °F Petroleum jelly was used as a salve by workers on oil rigs, and was patented in 1872 by Richard Cheesebrough as 'Vaseline'. It is now the base for many cosmetics. RESIDUAL FUEL OIL Because this fuel is much cheaper than other fuels, it's widely used as fuel for ships. LIP BALM MOISTURIZER POWER PLANTS The fuel oil remaining after higher grade fuels have been distilled off. This fuel needs to be headed to 220-260°F before use. While natural gas has made residual oil power plants less popular, states like Hawai'i, Alaska and Florida still use residual oil for much of their power. CRUDE OIL RESIDUE Heated crude oil is left to cool in a distillation column, which is cooler at the top and hotter at the bottom, As it cools in different areas of the column, the gases condense into liquids and solids, separating the materials.
