Description

Anthracene Oil, Acid Ext. is a refined coal tar derivative, specifically the fraction obtained after acid extraction to remove basic components. This process yields a complex hydrocarbon mixture valued for its high content of polycyclic aromatic compounds, particularly anthracene and phenanthrene. It serves as a critical intermediate and raw material in the production of carbon black, specialty dyes, and advanced organic synthesis for the chemical manufacturing and materials science industries.

Application

• Primary feedstock for the production of carbon black, a key reinforcing agent in tires and rubber goods.
• Essential raw material in the synthesis of anthraquinone dyes and pigments for textiles and plastics.
• Starting material for the manufacture of wood preservatives and other specialty chemical intermediates.
• Used in research and development of organic semiconductors and advanced polymeric materials.
• Acts as a plasticizer and flow improver in certain industrial formulations and coatings.
• Component in the production of insecticides and pesticides (where registered for use).

Quality Control

Our Anthracene Oil, Acid Ext. is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent composition and performance characteristics, including key parameters like distillation range, anthracene/phenanthrene content, and acidity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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.
