The petrochemical industry not only produces fuels used for energy, but it also provides raw materials to create goods such as plastics, cosmetics and lubricants. Along with the fast-paced development of economy comes the increasing demand on petroleum and petrochemical, including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and lubricants. More goods on the market will contain such synthetic materials as synthetic resin, synthetic rubber, and synthetic fiber, which are derived from petroleum and natural gases.

However, petrochemical production is essentially a hazardous process, given the highly combustible or explosive substances involved in the raw material as well as finished products. That is why all the equipment related to petrochemical production is asked to be non-spark and should be provided with the required technical specifications before it can be employed for practical use.
