Product Details
Propylene oxide is a colorless, volatile and transparent liquid with a distinctive ether-like odor. It has high chemical reactivity and is highly flammaleic-anhydride.html">mable and volatile.
This substance is a core basic chemical raw material in the industrial field and has a wide range of applications. It is mainly used for synthesizing polyether polyols, various fine chemical derivatives, and is also a key raw material for preparing polyurethane products, unsaturated polyester resins, non-ionic surfactants, pharmaceutical intermediates, and pesticide raw materials, etc.
Due to its flammable and highly reactive chemical properties, during the production operation, storage and transportation processes, strict compliance with hazardous chemical safety management regulations is required. Fire prevention, temperature control, ventilation and isolation protection measures must be taken to ensure the safety of use and circulation.

It is a key synthetic raw material for the production of surfactants, cleaning agents, emulsifiers.
It can be used as a chemical intermediate and applied in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical raw materials.
It can also be used in the agricultural and food processing industries, serving as fumigants and sterilization agents.
Safety Information
This product has extremely strong flammable properties both in its liquid form and in its volatile vapor. It must be kept away from all heat sources, open flames, electric sparks, and areas with high-temperature heat sources to prevent fire hazards.
Direct skin contact with this product can cause redness, stinging, inflammation, and discomfort. Long-term or frequent contact can easily lead to adverse reactions such as skin allergies; accidentally getting into the eyes will cause eye irritation, dryness, soreness, and swelling, damaging the eye mucosa.
Inhaling its volatile gas will harm the body and cause respiratory irritation symptoms such as dry throat, chest tightness, and coughing, endangering respiratory system health.
Storage should be carried out in a dedicated warehouse that is cool, dry, well-ventilated, and air-tight. The packaging containers must remain tightly closed throughout the process to prevent material volatilization and leakage.
During loading, unloading, handling, sampling, blending, and daily operations, it is necessary to wear complete and appropriate professional protective equipment and take comprehensive personal protection measures.
It is strictly prohibited to store this product together with hazardous substances such as strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidants, and strong reductants to avoid contact between them, which may cause intense chemical reactions and trigger safety accidents.
