Description

Propylene, also known as propene, is an unsaturated organic compound
with the chemical formula CH3CH=CH2.

Propylene has a wide range of uses across various industries. Here are
some of them:

• Industry: Propylene is used extensively in several industries. It is
  used either as a stabilizer, neutralizer or as a source of nitrogen
  to carry out several functions. Propylene is used in wastewater
  treatment, leather, rubber, paper, food and beverage industries. It
  also is used in cold storage, refrigeration systems and in the
  production of pharmaceuticals. Propylene is used in the printing as
  well as cosmetics industries. It is also used in fermentation.
• Agriculture: Propylene is used mainly in Agricultural industries.
  About 90 % of all propylene produced is used in this field. Since
  propylene acts as a rich source of nitrogen and other elements, it
  is used in fertilizers to basically sustain food production. It is
  also used in the production of liquid fertilizer solutions
  consisting of compounds like ammonium nitrate, salts, urea and
  others. And there’s more. Propylene is often used as an antifungal
  agent on certain fruits and as preservatives.
• Household Products: Propylene is one of the main ingredients in a
  lot of household cleaning products. It is used as a cleaning agent
  and can be used to remove stains or clean mirrors, tubs, sinks,
  windows and more. Some other uses include antimicrobial agent or an
  antiseptic, and propylene is also used as a fuel.
• Manufacturing Various Compounds: We find uses of Propylene in the
  manufacturing of a number of compounds like nitric acid, Hydrogen
  cyanide, Ammonium carbonate, Phenol, Urea, Amino acids, and a lot of
  other items.
• Metal Treating: Here dissociated propylene is used in operations
  like carbo nitriding, nitriding, furnace brazing, bright annealing,
  sintering, atomic hydrogen welding and other operations.
• Petroleum and Mining: In the petroleum industry propylene is
  utilized in counterbalancing the acid constituents of oil which is
  in crude form.
