What do petrochemical products include

Petroleum products can be divided into six categories: petroleum fuels, petroleum solvents and chemical raw materials, lubricants, paraffin, petroleum asphalt and petroleum coke. Among them, the output of various fuels is the largest, accounting for about 90% of the total output; There are the most varieties of lubricants, and the output accounts for about 5%. All countries have formulated product standards to meet the needs of production and use.

Petrochemical (English: petrochemical), also known as petrochemical industry, refers to the field of producing chemicals from petroleum in chemical industry, which also includes natural gas chemical industry in a broad sense.

As a new industry, the petrochemical industry of China Petrochemical Co., Ltd. was formed with the development of petroleum refining industry in the 1920s and grew up during the Second World War (see History of Petrochemical Development).

After the war, with the rapid development of petrochemical industry, the production of a large number of chemicals has changed from traditional raw materials of coal and agricultural and forestry products to raw materials of oil and natural gas. Petrochemical industry has become a pillar industry in the chemical industry and occupies a very important position in the national economy.

All industrial sectors are inseparable from petrochemical products.

The development of modern transportation industry is closely related to fuel supply. It is no exaggeration to say that without fuel, there would be no modern transportation industry. Metal processing and all kinds of machinery need all kinds of lubricating materials and other supporting materials without exception, which consumes a lot of petrochemical products.

The world output of lubricating oil is about 20 million tons, and that of China is about 6.5438+0.8 million tons. Building materials industry is a new field of petrochemical products, such as plastic pipes, doors and windows, floor materials, coatings, etc., which are called chemical building materials. Light industry and textile industry are traditional users of petrochemical products, and the development and promotion of new materials, new processes and new products are all petrochemical products.

At present, the rapid development of electronic industry and many high-tech industries has put forward new requirements for petrochemical products, especially fine chemical products produced by petrochemical products, which has greatly promoted the development of petrochemical industry.
