Rain Carbon - Chemical Intermediates

Chemical intermediates includes naphthalene derivates that are primarily produced from our internal naphthalene fractions, which are further processed into downstream products.. Phthalic anhydride is used in construction, plastics and as specialty chemicals in other industries. We also produce BTX products -- benzene, toluene and xylene -- from the secondary distillation of crude benzene, a liquid by-product derived in conversion of coal into metallurgical coke used for pig iron and steel production. A substantial part of our crude benzene is procured from third parties. Benzene, toluene and crude xylene are critical inputs for several chemicals-based substances. Applications of toluene and crude xylene include use as solvents for inks and paints.
