While most people know that oil helps fuel up cars and keep equipment running, there are quite a few surprising ways that the product is used under the radar with consumers.
Here are six “oil products” you can be thankful for this holiday season!
Chewing Gum
If you like a good stick of chewing gum throughout the day, thank petroleum for the long-lasting chewiness that it provides to this product!
That’s right gum bases stem from natural latex and petroleum products. So, the next time you pop a piece in your mouth, thank the oil and gas industry!
Lipstick
Petroleum products like crylates, coal tar colorants, and propylene glycol are found in most lipsticks. These oil and gas products are what give this cosmetic product the color that makes your lips stand out when you wear it!
Aspirin
Thanks to fuel treatment processes at drill sites, we have aspirin, a medication that helps millions of people throughout the world relieve headaches and fever.
Aspirin stems from the product benzene, which is a hydrocarbon that is extracted from petroleum during the production process.
Wrinkle-Resistant Fabric
Do you like putting your clothes on in the morning and not having to worry about ironing them? Well, fabrics like polyester that give users the benefits of wrinkle resistance come from oil found at drill sites. When different petroleum products are combined, they can create materials that literally put the clothes on our back.
General Plastics
Whenever you use plastic products, the oil and gas industry helped make that product a reality. Plastic requires crude oil for production and proves the versatility of this product within all different industries.
Guitar Strings
Although the petroleum itself won’t make your guitar licks slicker on their own, the nylon that stems from the product allows you to shred in the first place!
