Description

Anthracene Oil is a complex hydrocarbon fraction derived from coal tar distillation, primarily composed of anthracene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This high-value intermediate is critical for the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and advanced carbon materials. It serves as an essential raw material for manufacturers in the chemical, plastics, and specialty materials industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply.

Application

• Primary raw material for the production of anthraquinone dyes and pigments.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of carbon black and other carbon-based materials.
• Used in the manufacture of wood preservatives and insecticides.
• Acts as a plasticizer and processing aid in certain rubber and plastic formulations.
• Employed as a feedstock for the production of synthetic tanning agents.
• Utilized in research and development for novel organic semiconductors and electronic materials.

Quality Control

Our Anthracene Oil is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (GC, HPLC) to confirm hydrocarbon composition and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific gravity, distillation range, anthracene content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
