What does INDENE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalchemistry
A colourless liquid hydrocarbon obtained from coal tar or petroleum, used mainly in making synthetic resins.
Indene is extracted during the refining of coal tar and certain petroleum fractions, and industry values it chiefly as a raw material for resins used in inks, adhesives, and coatings rather than as a substance encountered directly by most people. Chemically it belongs to a class of ring-shaped hydrocarbons, and its structure gives its name to a wider family of related indene derivatives studied in organic chemistry. Outside laboratories and chemical plants, the word is almost never used.
