Propylene, also known as propene, is a colorless, flammable gas with a slightly sweet odor. It is an unsaturated hydrocarbon belonging to the alkene family, characterized by a double bond between two of its carbon atoms. The molecular formula for propylene is C3H6, and it is commonly used as a building block in the production of various chemicals, including polypropylene, a widely used plastic. Propylene is produced primarily through petroleum refining and natural gas processing. It is highly reactive due to the presence of the double bond, making it a key intermediate in organic synthesis. In terms of physical properties, propylene has a boiling point that allows it to exist as a gas at room temperature but can be easily liquefied under pressure. It is also known for its role in the production of fuels and as a feedstock for the manufacture of chemicals such as acrylonitrile and propylene oxide. Safety precautions are essential when handling propylene due to its flammability and potential health hazards upon exposure.
