Petrochemicals are hydrocarbons derived from crude oil and natural gas. The basic raw materials called feedstocks include petroleum gases, naphtha, kerosene, gas oil, ethane, propane, and natural gas liquids. Petrochemicals can be classified as basic petrochemicals such as ethylene, propylene, and butadiene or end product petrochemicals.

hydrocarbons derived from crude oil and natural gas. ► The basic raw material for petrochemical industry are called feedstock. ► Main feedstock's are: ► Petroleum gases ► Naphtha ► Kerosene ► Gas oil ► Ethane, propane and natural gas liquids ► Shale gas, CBM, Pet Coke, Coal
► Petrochemicals can be classified into:
► Basic petrochemicals
► End product petrochemicals
► Basic petrochemicals are basically olefins
(ethylene, propylene and butadiene) and aromatics (benzene, toluene and xylene).
