| Video Discription | Products You Didn't Know Were Made From Petroleum Most people associate petroleum with transportation — but we are surrounded by thousands of other everyday products that come from this vital natural resource. A typical 42- gallon barrel of crude oil yields about 20 gallons of gasoline and 4 gallons of jet fuel. What products come from the other 18 gallons? Transcript: In our daily lives, we interact with hundreds to thousands of different objects that were manufactured by humans, a combination of many different natural materials to form a brand new creation. Because of this, it becomes rather easy to overlook what exactly the things we use everyday, are made of. Today let's clear up a few of those mysteries, and talk about what products we use in our daily lives, are made from petroleum. The petroleum refining process is the chemical engineering process and other facilities used in petroleum refineries (also referred to as oil refineries) to transform crude oil into useful products. Gasoline is obviously going to be the first thing that comes to our mind, but petroleum is surprisingly used for much more than that. In a standard 42-gallon barrel of petroleum oil, roughly 19 and a half gallons of gasoline are created, so over half of the barrel ends up being used on other products. On the topic of transportation, crude oil is also used in similar products such as such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline or petrol, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel oil and fuel oils. However, your car is using crude oil as more than just a fuel, petroleum is also found in tires as well. Petrol oil is very prominent in the production of rubber, which just so happens to be the entirety of what a tire is. In the entertainment business, petroleum is used to create a clear plastic coating on the bottom of CDs and DVDs. When you see light scratches that can be buffed out by a machine, these are often scuffs on the petroleum coating and not the disc itself, working as a shield against the horrors of being slid across a coffee table. Here’s where the uses of petroleum spread significantly further, the petroleum isn’t just featured in the plastic coating of CDs, but in most plastic produced in the entire united states. According to the U.S Energy Information Administration (say that three times fast!) “Plastics are made from liquid petroleum, liquid natural gas, and natural gas.” To rattle off of a few, this means petroleum can be found within shower curtains, fishing boots, toothbrushes, movie film, balloons, refrigerators and way more. The usage doesn’t end at plastic and oil though, because petroleum can even be traced into the food we eat. Packaged baked foods contain petroleum as a method of keeping them fresh, and resisting mold. Petrol is also found on the waxy coating on most chocolates, the dyes used to color the processed foods that we eat, and the preservatives found within many different types of canned food. Hopefully, this opened up your eyes a bit to the many uses of petroleum in our daily lives, as a MASSIVE amount of the things around us contain petroleum, or were created using machines that use petroleum. As a final interesting parting fact, studies show that if humanity’s rate of consumption remains the same, the oil below the earth’s surface would last about 50 more years before running out.
