  2. Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, joined by single bonds (), or unsaturated, with double bonds or triple bonds ().If other elements (heteroatoms) are bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine, it is no longer a hydrocarbon, and therefore no longer an aliphatic compound.

  3. Petroleum ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_ether

    Petroleum ether is the petroleum fraction consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons and boiling in the range 35–60 °C, and commonly used as a laboratory solvent. [4] Despite the name, petroleum ether is not an ether; the term is used only figuratively, signifying extreme lightness and volatility.

  4. Petroleum resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_resin

    C5/C9 copolymer resins are produced from both aliphatic crackers and aromatic crackers. There are some additional processes like hydrogenated (use hydrogen) for hydrocarbon resins. By this way, the double bond is neutralized and light colors, even water white resins, are produced.

  5. Petroleum naphtha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_naphtha

    Petroleum naphtha is an intermediate hydrocarbon liquid stream derived from the refining of crude oil [1] [2] [3] with CAS-no 64742-48-9. [4] It is most usually desulfurized and then catalytically reformed, which rearranges or restructures the hydrocarbon molecules in the naphtha as well as breaking some of the molecules into smaller molecules to produce a high-octane component of gasoline (or ...

  6. White spirit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_spirit

    A mixture of aliphatic, open-chain or alicyclic C 7 to C 12 hydrocarbons, white spirit is insoluble in water and is used as an extraction solvent, as a cleaning solvent, as a degreasing solvent and as a solvent in aerosols, paints, wood preservatives, lacquers, varnishes, and asphalt products.

  7. Microcrystalline wax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcrystalline_wax

    It consists of high molecular weight saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is generally darker, more viscous, denser, tackier and more elastic than paraffin waxes, and has a higher molecular weight and melting point. The elastic and adhesive characteristics of microcrystalline waxes are related to the non-straight chain components which they ...

  8. BTX (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTX_(chemistry)

    In the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries, the initialism BTX refers to mixtures of benzene, toluene, and the three xylene isomers, all of which are aromatic hydrocarbons. The xylene isomers are distinguished by the designations ortho – (or o –), meta – (or m –), and para – (or p –) as indicated in the adjacent diagram.

  9. Kerosene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene

    Aliphatic kerosene is a type of kerosene which has a low aromatic hydrocarbon content, the aromatic content of crude oil varies greatly from oil field to oil field. However by solvent extraction it is possible to separate aromatic hydrocarbons from aliphatic (alkane) hydrocarbons.
