Carbon Pitch: Carbon pitch is a critical raw material used in the production of aluminum and for the production of steel in electric arc furnaces.

Naphthalene & Phthalic Anhydride: Chemical oils are further processed to produce naphthalene which the company sells into the industrial sulfonate market for use as dispersants or in the concrete additive and gypsum board markets. Additional end-uses include oil field additives, agricultural emulsifiers, synthetic tanning agents and dyestuffs. In the United States, the company also uses naphthalene as a feedstock in the manufacture of phthalic anhydride. The primary markets for phthalic anhydride are in the production of plasticizers, unsaturated polyester resins and alkyd resins.

Creosote, Carbon Black & Carbon Black Feedstock: In the United States, creosote is used as a commercial wood treatment chemical to preserve railroad crossties and lumber, utility poles and piling. The majority of its domestically produced creosote is sold to the company’s Railroad & Utility Products business.
