Basic information

Propylene oxide, also known as propylene oxide, methyl ethylene oxide, and 1,2-propylene oxide, is an organic compound with a chemical formula of C3H6O. It is an important raw material for organic compounds and is second only to polypropylene and acrylonitrile. The third largest propylene derivative.

 

 

 

 

Application areas

Propylene oxide is mainly used in the production of polyether polyols, propylene glycol and various non-ionic surfactants, among which polyether polyols are important raw materials for the production of polyurethane foams, thermal insulation materials, elastomers, adhesives and coatings. Various non-ionic surfactants are widely used in petroleum, chemical, pesticide, textile, daily chemical and other industries. At the same time, propylene oxide is also an important basic chemical raw material.

 

 

Packaging, transportation and safety

Propylene oxide can be packed in dry, clean and well-sealed galvanized iron drums with a net weight of 150kg, or transported by special tanker, which shall comply with relevant safety regulations. Propylene oxide shall be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry place below 25 ℃, and shall not be directly exposed to sunlight and isolated from fire sources.
