· Benzene
Produced from the extraction process and is used in basic materials from plywood to Styrofoam.
· Toluene
Produced from the same process as benzene and is used as an octane booster for motor gasoline. It can be processed into benzene and mixed xylene or used in the process of making polyurethane foam.
· Mixed xylenes
