of customer-centric new product development.
Our new product development portfolio in CTP Division now includes Solvent Oil, 2-6-Lutidine, Phenol, O–Cresol, MP Cresol, Indene, Quinoline, Flourene, Carbozole, Anthraquinone & PCM.
Solvent Oil
Solvent oil is produced from intermediate oil of Coal Tar distillation process. It has various applications in paint industry and is used as inhouse solvent for Speciality oil production
2,6-Lutidine
It is a colorless liquid with mildly basic properties and a pungent, noxious odor. It is used as Non-nucleophile base in organic synthesis and formation of silyl ethers.
Phenol
In India, there is a huge demand of Phenol for manufacturing of PhenolFormaldehyde Resin which is used for Plywood Industries.
O– Cresol
It is used as an intermediate for the production of dyes, pesticides, epoxy resins and pharmaceuticals, and is also used as a component of disinfectants and cleaning agents.
M P Cresol
Meta Para Cresol is used in phenolic resins photoresists, phosphate esters, wire enamel solvents, surfactants, disinfectants and also used in fibre preservatives, wood preservatives and other chemical intermediates.
Indene
Indene is an aromatic, polycyclic hydrocarbon occurring from coal-tar fractions boiling around 175–185°C. Indene is colorless, although samples often are pale yellow. The principal industrial use of indene is in the production of indene/coumarone thermoplastic resins used in electrical wire coatings
Quinoline
Quinoline is used in the preparation of hydroxyquinoline sulfate (a key ingredient in topical antiseptics) and niacin (Vit-B3). It is also used in the manufacture of dyes, as a solvent for resins & terpenes and in the production of other specialty chemicals
Fluorene
Fluoreneis a white crystalline substance with a violet fluorescence. It has a characteristic, aromatic odor similar to naphthalene. Flourene is used to manufacture of pesticides, agro-chemicals, dyes and plastics
Carbazole
Carbazole and its related compounds find versatile applications, chiefly serving as key components in fluorescence, phosphorescence, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials, enhancing the performance of electronic devices like OLEDs. Additionally, these compounds are utilized in high molecular applications, showcasing their significance in both small and large-scale material innovations across industries.
Anthraquinone
Anthraquinone is an aromatic organic compound. It is a yellow, highly crystalline solid, poorly soluble in water but soluble in hot organic solvents. Anthracene is efficiently converted into anthraquinone (L) by oxidation with chromic anhydride in acetic acid. Anthraquinone is manufactured extensively in this way for use as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyestuffs
Pitch Creosote Mixture(PCM)
PCM is a shiny, dark brown to black residue, which contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their methyl and polymethyl derivatives, as well as heteronuclear compounds. It is used in making refractory material, industrial paints and as corrosion resistant coating for underground pipelines. Our R&D Grades of PCM includes –
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| SP02 | Low viscous tar - used for making refractory composite. |
| SP03 | Special tar formulation - used for refractory clay making in high dimension furnace |
| SP08 | Medium viscous tar - used by refractory & foundry by chemicals manufacturers |
| SP08A | Medium viscous tar - used as an anti-corrosive paint application for coating and industrial insulation |
| SP09 | Special tar formulation - used for carbon and graphite manufacturing. |
| SP10 | Medium viscous tar - used as an anti-corrosive paint application for coating manufacturing |
| SP11 | Medium viscous tar (an auxiliary of SP10) – used as an excellent surface coating to prevent corrosion from saline environment |
| SP12 | High viscous tar – used as binder in special refractory manufacturing |
