Propylene oxide

Propylene oxide


Propylene oxide is a colorless ether flavored liquid with low boiling point, flammability and chirality. Industrial products are generally racemic mixtures of two enantiomers. It is partially miscible with water, ethanol and ether. It forms a binary azeotropic mixture with pentane, pentene, cyclopentane, cyclopentene and dichloromethane. Toxic, irritating to mucous membrane and skin, can damage cornea and conjunctiva, cause respiratory system pain, skin burn and swelling, and even tissue necrosis.

Purpose:

Epoxy propane is mainly used to produce polyether polyols, propylene glycol and various non-ionic surfactants, among which polyether polyols are important raw materials for the production of polyurethane foam, insulation materials, elastomers, adhesives and coatings, and 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.

Storage and transportation:

Epoxy propane can be packed in dry, clean and well sealed galvanized iron drums, each with a net weight of 150kg, or transported by special tankers, which shall comply with relevant safety regulations. Epoxy propane 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.
