What else can I help you with?
Are balloons made of petroleum?
Most balloons are made from latex, a natural material derived from rubber trees. However, some balloons can also be made from plastics such as polyethylene or Mylar, which are derived from petroleum.
Is there latex in patroleum jelly?
No, petroleum jelly does not contain latex. Petroleum jelly is made from petroleum, while latex is derived from the milky sap of rubber trees. They are two different substances with different chemical compositions.
What materials are used to make rubber?
There may be a large number of lesser materials but i believe there is one main ingredient and it is from a certain rubber tree this might not be of any help but i just thought id put that out there regards oli Sykes
Is acrylic derived from petroleum sources?
Yes, acrylic is derived from petroleum sources. It is a synthetic fiber made from polymers derived from petrochemicals.
Is petroleum jelly organic or inorganic?
Main ingredient is petrolatum, made from petroleum, which is organic

Is rubber petroleum based?
Synthetic rubber is petroleum based. According to Wikipedia, using 2005 statistics, 58% of all rubber production is synthetic rubber or approximately 12 million tons. The chemical composition of rubber is complex. According to Wikipedia, under petrochemicals, synthetic rubber is synthetic elastomers made of any one or more of several petrochemical (usually) monomers such as 1,3-butadiene, styrene, isobutylene, isoprene, elastomeric polymers are often made with a high percentage of conjugated diene monomers such as 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, or chloroprene. Also, Wikipedia notes that since so much of our rubber is synthetic, then the price of rubber depends to a large degree on the price of oil. I encourage you to follow some of the links, particularly as given in the natural rubber link, as it gives the interesting history of rubber.

What plant makes plastic?
Plants don't make plastic. Petroleum is the basis for plastics, pvc, and all other types of plastics. Rubber however was originally derived from the Rubber Plant - Ficus elastica

Is rubber man made?
Rubber is a natural material derived from the latex of certain plants, such as the rubber tree. However, synthetic rubber is also made in a chemical process using petroleum byproducts. So, rubber can be both man-made and natural.
What Hydrocarbon is derived from petroleum?
Nearly all hydrocarbons are derived from petroleum.
Is acrylic derived from petroleum sources?
Yes, acrylic is derived from petroleum sources. It is a synthetic fiber made from polymers derived from petrochemicals.
What chemicals is rubber made of?
Rubber is made primarily of polymers called isoprene or butadiene. These polymers are derived from natural sources like the rubber tree (latex) or can be synthesized from petroleum-based chemicals. Other additives like sulfur, carbon black, and processing oils are also used to enhance the properties of rubber.
Is petroleum jelly organic or inorganic?
Main ingredient is petrolatum, made from petroleum, which is organic
What natural resource is used for making tires and erasers?
Natural rubber is the main resource used for making tires and erasers. It is derived from the latex of rubber trees and is a key component in the production of these products due to its elastic properties and durability.
Why is it called petroleum jelly when it is made with petrolatum and not some oil?
Petroleum jelly is made from petrolatum, a mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. The name "petroleum jelly" comes from the fact that it is derived from petroleum, not necessarily from being an actual jelly made from oil.
