| Physical Properties: Propylene is a colorless, odorless, slightly sweet gas that is flammable and produces a bright flame when burned. It is insoluble in water and easily soluble in ethanol and ether. | |||
| Applications: Propylene is one of the basic raw materials for the three major synthetic materials, with the largest amount used in the production of polypropylene. In addition, propylene can be used to prepare acrylonitrile, epichlorohydrin, isopropanol, phenol, acetone, butanol, octanol, acrylic acid and its esters, propylene glycol, epichlorohydrin, and synthetic glycerol. | |||
