An Ultimate Guide on Common Industrial Chemicals and Its Uses

1. An Ultimate Guide on Common Industrial Chemicals and Its Uses

2. Introduction The chemical industry has witnessed a rapid growth in the past several decades. The applications of industrial chemicals is also radically on the rise. The use of these chemicals is very wide and differs from industry to industry. In this presentation, we shall have a look at the main industrial chemicals and their major uses.

3. Common Industrial Chemicals in Market 2021 A large number of chemical manufacturers and chemical suppliers in UAE offers high-grade chemical products to a large number of customers with the best services. These chemicals are then widely used for various purposes in different sectors. The major industrial chemicals dominating the chemical industry in 2021 are as follows: • Polyurethane Chemicals • Sodium Carbonate • Propylene • Ethylene • Nitrogen

4. Polyurethane Chemicals A polyurethane is formed when a polyol reacts with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of suitable catalysts and additives. Conventional polyol, polymeric MDI, polymeric polyol, TDI etc. are the various polyurethane products highly used in the chemical industry. Depending upon the customer needs and unique specifications, various types of polyols and isocyanates can be used in the production of polyurethane chemicals. Use:Polyurethane chemicals are widely used in the production of foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers and several household items.

5. Sodium Carbonate (Na₂CO₃) Use: Sodium Carbonate is mainly used in the following sectors: • Glass manufacturing • Chemical manufacturing • Therapeutic treatments • Production of cleaning products • Pulp and paper products • Personal care products Sodium Carbonate is another major industrial chemical used for various purposes these days. This is an inorganic compound also known as washing soda with the formula Na₂CO₃. It is a strong alkali base and is mainly used in green cleaning products. According to EPA (environmental protection agency), sodium carbonate is a safe pesticide and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) designates it as generally regarded as safe (GRAS).

6. Propylene (C3H6) Propylene is also known as methyl ethylene and is an organic gas compound. We get this industrial chemical as a byproduct of fermentation process. Alternatively, propylene can also be produced from fossil fuels. Use:It is highly used in the green chemistry sector and as a fuel gas. Propylene is even polymerised to produce polypropylene plastic

7. Ethylene (C2H4) Ethylene is highly in demand in the industrial chemicals market and each year above 150 million tons of ethylene is being produced. It is produced by the steam cracking of a wide range of hydrocarbon feedstocks. Use: For the synthesis of industrial chemicals like ethanol, in the petrochemical industry, in various polyethylene plastics used in food packaging etc.

8. Nitrogen (N2) Use The major applications of nitrogen is as follows: • In the production of industrial chemical Ammonia. • For preserving food • In the production of transistors and diodes • In the synthesis of fertilisers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes etc. Nitrogen is another element important to the chemical industry. This is an inert gas that is produced in tons each year through the process called fractional distillation. It is highly used by the manufacturing and processing industries. Nitrogen in its liquid state, is used in the medical research sector. In solid conveying gas carrier nitrogen is used as a substitute for air.
