Naphtha is a valuable feedstock for the petrochemical industry. Two examples of chemical products derived from naphtha are:
- Ethylene and Propylene: These are alkenes produced by cracking naphtha. They are fundamental building blocks for many plastics, such as polyethylene (plastic bags) and polypropylene (containers).
- Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene (BTX): These aromatic hydrocarbons are used in the production of various chemicals, including plastics, resins, solvents, and dyes.
