RAFFINATE (I) is a petroleum product and Arena Petro Gas is in position to supply and export it directly from SHIMI BAFT PETROCHEMICAL - BOU ALI SINA PETROCHEMICAL - ISFAHAN PETROCHEMICAL through its trading services according to the following specification and technical properties.
Raffinate (I) is a petroleum product that is produced as a by-product of extracting butadiene from crude C4, which is a mixture of four-carbon hydrocarbons obtained from naphtha cracking. it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon that mainly consists of isobutylene and cis- or trans-2-butene, with small amounts of 1-butene and n-butane.
The uses of Raffinate (I) are:
- It can use as a gasoline blending component to increase the octane number and reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
- It can process to isobutene, which is a valuable chemical intermediate for producing tert-butyl alcohol, methyl tert-butyl ether, polyisobutylene, and other products.
- It can use as a feedstock for producing synthetic rubber, such as polybutadiene and styrene-butadiene rubber, which are widely used in the automotive and tire industries.
