Description

Anthracene Oil is a complex hydrocarbon fraction derived from coal tar distillation, primarily composed of anthracene, phenanthrene, and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This versatile intermediate is valued for its role as a precursor in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and advanced carbon materials. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the chemical, plastics, and specialty materials industries seeking high-purity aromatic feedstocks.

Application

• Dye and Pigment Manufacturing: Serves as a key starting material for the production of anthraquinone dyes and various organic pigments.
• Carbon Black Production: Used as a feedstock in the manufacture of specific grades of carbon black for rubber reinforcement and pigments.
• Wood Preservatives: A component in formulations for creosote-based wood preservatives used in railway ties and utility poles.
• Specialty Chemicals Synthesis: Acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
• Research & Development: Utilized in laboratories for chemical research and as a standard or reagent in analytical processes.
• Pitch and Binder Production: A constituent in the production of coal tar pitch for electrodes, sealants, and roofing materials.

Quality Control

Our Anthracene Oil is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as anthracene content, distillation range, and specific gravity. Our quality systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial chemical synthesis and material production.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize evaporation and prevent contamination. Observe all local regulations for the storage of combustible materials.
