Petrochemicals are substances separated or chemically derived from petroleum as a starting material. Examples of substances separated from petroleum are gasoline, kerosene, and paraffin. Examples of substances that require chemical processing are ethylene and propylene and their polymers, many alcohols, and a variety of others. The same chemical substance can be a petrochemical or not, depending on the origin of its starting materials.
