Petrochemicals in general are compounds and polymers derived directly
or indirectly from petroleum and used in the chemical market. Among
the major petrochemical products are plastics, synthetic fibers, synthetic
rubber, detergents, and nitrogen fertilizers. Many other important chemical
industries such as paints, adhesives, aerosols, insecticides, and pharmaceuticals
may involve one or more petrochemical products within
their manufacturing steps.
