Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is purified terephthalic acid production. The Reference Product is purified terephthalic acid. Purified terephthalic acid, is a plastic product of fossil origin. It is a precursor substance meant to be used for the further production of plastics. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and either colourless (50%), or white (50%). The product is used in the following applications and sectors: for Consumers: Building/construction materials, Food packaging, Intermediates, Investment casting waxes, Paints and coatings, Plastic and rubber products , for Industry: Adhesives and sealant chemicals, Intermediates, Investment casting waxes, Lubricants and lubricant additives, Paint additives and coating additives not described by other categories, Plasticizers, Reactant in polymerization process, Solvents (which become part of product formulation or mixture), monomer for polyester, polyester for composite manufacture, polyester for composite part manufacture. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/9493/documentation
