About Propylene Oxide. Propylene Oxide (a.k.a. PO, Epoxypropane, Methyl Oxirane) is a synthetic, highly-flammable, volatile, colorless liquid that is soluble in water and miscible with many organic solvents. This organic, highly reactive compound is a major commodity chemical, as well as starting material for several products, from polymers and solvents to industrial fluids. Propylene Oxide is produced mainly by the so-called chlorohydrin process, based on the reaction of propylene and chlorine in the presence of water to produce propylene chlorohydrin, which is dehydrochlorinated with a base. Liquor is used usually when the PO plant is integrated with a chlorine plant.

Chemical Formula. C3H6O

Commercial Grades. Chemical grade (ca. 8% propane); polymer grade (ca. 0.3% propane)

Uses. The polarity and the strained epoxide ring of Propylene Oxide make this chemical a highly reactive, versatile intermediate, used in the production of a broad range of products (e.g. surfactants; detergents; fumigant; synthetic lubricants; synthetic elastomers; solvent; food starch modified; food-packaging; adhesives; defoamer in food-contact paper/paperboard). The main uses of PO are in the production of polyether polyols, propylene glycols, and propylene glycol ethers.

Raw Materials & Production Processes.

Propylene + chlorine + base (chlorohydrin process)
Propylene + organic hydroperoxide (indirect oxidation process, coproduced with alcohols)
Cumene hydroperoxide + propylene (Sumitomo cumene process, coprodduced with cumene)
Propylene + hydrogen peroxide (direct oxidation process)

Derivatives. Propylene Oxide is used as raw material in the production of the following derivates: acetone; allyl alcohol; propylene glycol.
