Other names
methylbenzene
Use
Raw materials for paints, inks, thinners, adhesives, etc.
Explanation
It is a colorless, transparent, volatile liquid with an aromatic odor. It has a structure in which methyl is attached to benzene. It is mainly used as a paint solvent, such as paint, and is also used as a solvent for adhesives, inks, and pharmaceuticals.
Other names
sodium hydroxide
Use
paper, textile, raw material for detergent, water treatment, degassing, etc.
Explanation
Sodium carbonate is called soda, and the process of reacting it with calcium hydroxide to obtain sodium hydroxide is called causticization. The resulting sodium hydroxide is called `causticized soda` and is called `caustic soda`. It is also used as a raw material for synthetic fibers and in the treatment of factory wastewater.
Other names
dimethyl ketone
Use
Raw materials for paint, medicine, MMA, MIBK, etc.
Explanation
It is colorless, has a characteristic sweet odor, and is a highly flammable liquid due to its low boiling point, easily miscible with water and common organic solvents. It is used as a manufacturing raw material for MIBK, BPA, and pharmaceuticals.
Other names
