Propylene oxide (PO) is a highly reactive chemical used as an intermediate for the production of numerous commercial materials. It reacts readily with compounds containing active hydrogen atoms such as alcohols, amines and acids. Its main derivatives include polyether polyols, propylene glycol (PG) and propylene glycol ethers but it has many other outlets. Consumption of PO is dominated by its largest end use, polyether polyols. They are reacted with an isocyanate to form polyurethanes. Polyurethane end uses include flexible foams for the furniture and automotive industries, and rigid foams for appliance and building insulation. Polyols also go into non-foam applications such as coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers, as well as thermoplastic resins and fibres. The growth in demand for polyether polyols is largely dependent on their use in polyurethane foam. Flexible and semi-rigid foams account for a major portion of polyols demand. In addition, a higher proportion of the polyol is used in flexible foam formulations compared to rigid foam formulations. Traditionally, rigid foams have grown faster than flexible foam due to their increasing use in insulation and structural applications. The second largest consumer of PO is propylene glycol with monopropylene glycol (MPG) being the main product. MPG is mainly used to make unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) of which nearly three quarters are reinforced with fibre glass or mineral fillers to form fibre glass reinforced plastics (FRPs). In residential and commercial construction, FRPs are used primarily to make building panels, bathroom components, fixtures, corrosion-resistant tanks, pipes and ducts. Other uses include pleasure boats, recreational vehicles, passenger cars and trucks. MPG is also used in coolants and antifreeze, aircraft deicing fluids and heat transfer fluids. Where there are environmental concerns, MPG is favoured over monoethylene glycol (MEG) due to its lower toxicity. MPG along with dipropylene glycol (DPG) and tripropylene glycol (TPG) are used in the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care industries as solvents, carriers, humectants and preservatives. Polyglycols offer a wide range of formulating possibilities depending on their molecular weight. When used as functional fluids, they offer good lubricant and solvent properties. Applications include hydraulic and brake fluids, heat transfer liquids, surfactants and foam control. Propylene glycol ethers (PGE) are formed by the reaction of PO with alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol. PGEs are commonly used as solvents and coupling agents in paints and in the production of coatings, inks, resins and cleaners. PGE solvents exhibit lower toxicological effects than their ethylene glycol ether counterparts.
POLY PROPYLENE OXIDE (EIRI-1029)
Propylene oxide is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH3CHCH2O. This colourless volatile liquid is produced on a large scale industrially, its major application being its use for the production of polyether polyols for use in making polyurethane plastics. It is chiral epoxide, although it commonly used as a racemic mixture. This compound is sometimes called 1,2-propylene oxide to distinguish it from its isomer 1,3-propylene oxide, better known as oxetane.
