Plastics: Most of the plastics we use in our everyday life are made from long chains of monomers, formed from petrochemicals. These petrochemicals are simply hydrocarbons of different chemical compositions.
Paraffin: This is the wax that we use for a lot of industries, everything from candle making and food preservation to medical and industrial uses, contains hydrocarbons.
Asphalt: the common substance that most people are familiar with as asphalt, is actually a hydrocarbon that has been heated to form the substance tar. It is then mixed with other key industrial ingredients to form the mixture that makes up the road's floor
