Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
Aliphatic hydrocarbons consist of linear chains of carbon atoms. They are organic molecules that consist exclusively, or primarily, of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Aliphatics can be cyclic. Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, like hexane, or unsaturated, like hexene and hexyne. Most aliphatic compounds are flammable, allowing the use of hydrocarbons as fuel. These are mostly used as a chemical intermediate and not as a solvent in the manufacture of nylon fiber and engineering resins, polyurethane, polyesters, and epoxy resins. The industrial uses of aliphatic hydrocarbons are immense. These are also used in the industrial sector of natural gas, petroleum, naphtha cracking, gasoline, kerosene and mineral spirits. The major uses of these aliphatic hydrocarbons include the refrigeration segments, propellants, lubricants, solvents and a huge amount of chemical intermediates. The industrial applications include the preparation of pesticides, organic chemical synthesis, and food additives.
