Understanding Propylene

Propylene (C3H6) is an alkene byproduct of oil refining and natural gas processing, second to ethylene in petrochemical importance. It produces polypropylene (nearly two-thirds consumption), propylene oxide, cumene, and others for plastics, resins, and fibers. Production includes steam cracking, refinery, and on-purpose methods. Globally, it addresses supply shortfalls with innovative technologies yielding 20%+ more.
