 By End Use

• Automotive: Exterior paint, bumpers and headlights to interior seats, dashboard components, and the seatbelts and airbags that help protect passengers. Plastics can even be found in lithium polymer car barriers that power some hybrid and electric vehicles are some applications of chemicals in automotive industry.


• Electronics: The electronics industry uses acetic acid, acetone, ammonium fluoride, ammonium hydrox-ide, hydrochloric acid, and many other chemicals to manufacture electronic gadgets.


• Construction: Chemicals in construction sector helps to enhance concrete strength and quality, provide water-tightness and protect concrete structures from atmospheric degradation.


• Oil & Gas: Oil field chemicals have many positive functions such improved oil recovery, drilling optimization, corrosion protection, prevent mud loss in different geological formations, stabilize drilling fluid in high pressure and high temperature environment, and many others


• Petroleum: Chemically, petroleum consists principally of hydrogen and carbon, but also contains small percentages of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and traces of metals, such as vanadium, cobalt, and nickel. The common organic compounds include alkanes (paraffins), naphthenes, aromatics, and heterocompounds.


• Pharmaceuticals: The chemical and pharmaceutical industry is involved in processing organic and inorganic raw materials into chemical products, as well as producing pharmaceutical raw materials.


• Textiles: Chemicals are used in textile industry is to develop a wide range of products that can be utilized for dyeing and printing clothes. The process of dyeing clothes employs a large number of chemicals that are used in mixing the paints to get the desired color. These paints blend with the fabric and impart color to it.


• Others: Other chemicals can be used for investigative or diagnostic purposes, such as in the preparation of drugs or in laboratory experiments. These experiments are typically small-scale, and are conducted on small samples of inorganic substances (e.g. rocks), organic substances, or even biological specimens.
