About Propylene Oxide
Propylene oxide is an organic, colorless, and volatile liquid at normal temperature and pressure. It is manufactured from raw materials, such as propene, isobutene, propanol, and butanol. The compound is highly flammable and reactive. It reacts violently with ammonia, chlorine, and strong oxides and acids causing fire and explosion hazards. It is generally used as an intermediate to produce numerous commercial materials. The largest application of propylene oxide is for deriving polyether polyols and propylene glycols. Polyether polyols are one of the main components used in the manufacture of polyurethanes that are widely used in apparel, building and construction, composite wood, and automotive applications.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global propylene oxide market to grow at a CAGR of 3.71% during the period 2017-2021.
