Where you might find these chemicals
PET bottles, the ones most water and soft drinks are sold in, wouldn’t be possible without one essential ingredient: purified teraphthalate acid, or PTA, which  invented. PTA is also used in apparel, home textiles, carpets and industrial fibre products, as well as audio and video recording tapes, photographic films and labels.
  
Acetic acid is vinegar, essentially, so it appears on the ingredients label on some jars of pickles. It is also used in various ways during the manufacturing process for a whole range of items in your shopping basket, from laundry detergents to drink bottles and food packaging.

You might swallow ethyl acetate as part of the coating on a capsule from the pharmacy or as a minor ingredient in certain foodstuffs. It is also used in printing inks, paints, varnishes and nail polish removers. And it keeps potato chip packets and chocolate bar wrappers closed until you’re ready to open them.

Whether you are driving, flying or taking that cruise of a lifetime,  may have provided the fuel that makes your trip possible. If you’ve received goods or bought products that came from a long way away, our fuels and lubricants may well have powered the ship or aircraft that delivered them.
At service stations we offer fuels and lubricants, including the Castrol line of motor oils, with a range of benefits to engines and the environment. And our retail shops and cafes offer people lots of convenient and delicious reasons to stop.
For the motoring enthusiast, the environmentally conscious driver, the airline executive, the shipping administrator, the mechanic, the hungry, the bored and those who are simply out of fuel – we’ve got something for you.
