Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Petrochemical feedstock

Hydrocarbon streams such as naphtha, ethane, propane, LPG and natural gas that feed crackers, reformers and downstream chemical plants. At a Caspian chemical show the feedstock conversation usually centres on gas-based and refinery-integrated supply.

2

Olefins

Unsaturated hydrocarbons, chiefly ethylene and propylene, produced mainly by steam cracking and used as building blocks for polymers, glycols, solvents and intermediates.

3

Polyolefins

Polymers made from olefins, principally polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), sold as pellets, powders or compounds for packaging, pipe, automotive and agricultural film applications.

4

Aromatics

Benzene, toluene and xylene isomers recovered from reforming and cracking, used for styrene, phenol, polyester and solvent production. Quality specs are usually quoted by purity grade.

5

Catalysts

Materials that accelerate refinery and petrochemical reactions without being consumed. Exhibitors typically present cracking, hydrotreating, polymerisation and emission-control catalyst families with regeneration and disposal services.

6

Base oils and lubricants

Group I to Group IV base stocks plus finished lubricant blends for automotive, industrial and marine use. Caspian buyers often compare viscosity grade, oxidation stability and local blending capacity.

7

Specialty chemicals

Performance-driven products sold in smaller volumes than commodities, such as surfactants, additives, adhesives, coatings raw materials, water-treatment chemicals and construction admixtures.

8

Fertilizer and nitrogen products

Ammonia, urea, ammonium nitrate and NPK blends. Gas-rich Caspian producers are significant exporters, so fertilizer technology and logistics suppliers are regular participants in the regional circuit.

9

Analytical instruments (GC / HPLC)

Gas and liquid chromatography systems used for compositional, purity and residue testing in refineries, quality-control laboratories and contract testing houses.

10

Wet chemistry and titration

Bench methods such as acid-base, Karl Fischer and redox titration used to verify concentration, water content and acidity in chemical and petrochemical samples.

11

Reference materials and reagent grades

Certified standards and chemicals graded by purity (for example technical, analytical or HPLC grade) that allow laboratories to produce traceable, comparable test results.

12

SDS / GHS classification

The Safety Data Sheet and Globally Harmonized System labelling that describe hazard, handling, transport and first-aid requirements for a chemical product, and are normally required before samples can be shipped or displayed.

13

Chemical registration regimes

National or regional inventories (such as EU REACH and equivalent lists in other markets) that govern which substances may be manufactured, imported or placed on the market, and in what volume.

14

HSE

Health, safety and environment management covering process safety, emissions monitoring, fire protection, personal protective equipment and site permit-to-work systems, a common buying category at chemical fairs.

15

EPC contractor and technology licensor

Engineering, procurement and construction firms that deliver chemical plants, and the licensors that supply the process technology, catalyst and guarantee package behind a new unit.

16

Trans-Caspian logistics

Freight routing across the Caspian Sea linking Central Asia and China with Azerbaijan, Georgia and onward to Europe; relevant for exhibitors weighing sea, rail and road options for heavy equipment and stand materials.
