Phenol and Acetone are basic chemical products which, after several processes, are used for daily use goods and products: mobile phone, computer, car, aspirin, paracetamol, carpet, swimsuit, CD/DVDs, furniture, building walls...

 

Main applications :

Phenol is used in many intermediates for several markets:

 

Bisphenol A respectively for polycarbonate and Epoxy resins (cars, household appliances, optics, supports, coatings & adhesives...)
Phenolic resins are used in the building sector, for furniture and insulating materials...

 

Caprolactam and adipic acid are used as raw materials for Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 (engineering plastics, textile, fibres...)

 

Diphenol is used for synthetic aroma

 

Alkyl phenol is used as an antioxidant

 

Acetone is a popular solvent and is also used as a raw material for:

 

Methyl Methacrylate production, precursor of the acrylic glass
