Aromatics products are the raw materials for downstream industries. Their uses can be summarized as follows:

Benzene:
Benzene is a type of organic chemical compound that is primarily used to make other chemicals and plastics. Benzene is a clear, colorless, highly inflammable liquid with a particularly distinctive color.

Today, Benzene is used primarily to aid in the production of other chemicals.

Benzene and Benzene derivatives can be found throughout a variety of products that can include

*Pesticides *Detergents *Dyes *Lubricants *Rubber *Drugs *Explosives

OrthoXylene:
Used as raw material for Phtalic Anhydride, PA which is used to produce plasticizer in construction industry such as PVC bonding, it is also used to produce insecticide and washing agent.

Mixed Xylene:
Are used as solvent in downstream industries such as surface coating, insecticide, paint, adhesives etc, and is used as the raw material for other aromatics products.

Para Xylene:
Is the raw material for PTA (purified Terephthalic Acid) which is used to produce Polyester fiber, film, food containers & PET bottles etc.
