Propylene Oxide; an Industrially Important Chemical Intermediate for the Production of Polyurethane Monomers

 

Propylene Oxide Market
Propylene Oxide Market

Propylene oxide is acutely toxic and carcinogenic organic compound with molecular formula CH3CHCH2O. Propylene oxide is a colorless, reactive liquid often used as a building block to manufacture a versatile range of derivative products. It is an important bulk chemical which is extensively used as an intermediate to produce glycol ethers, polyurethane polyols, dipropylene glycol, surfactants, lubricants, oil demulsifiers, industrial polyglycols, and isopropanolamines, and is also used as a solvent and soil sterilants.

According to Coherent Market insights the Propylene Oxide Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028.

Propylene oxide is also used to produce polyethers (primary component of polyurethane foams) and propylene glycol. Propylene oxide is an important basic chemical intermediate. Nearly all of the propylene oxide produced is converted into derivatives, often for applications similar to those of ethylene oxide derivatives. It is an organic compound widely used to produce polyether polyols, in turn is used to produce polyurethane plastics. Between 60 and 70% of all propylene oxide is converted to polyether polyols by the process called alkoxylation.

These polyols are building blocks in the production of polyurethane plastics. Propylene oxide is an industrially important chemical intermediate for producing polyurethane monomers. The oxide fine various applications in both automotive and construction industries. Hydraulic fuels, car seats brakes, coolants, sealants, paints, and flexible foams are components which propylene oxide in the automotive industry. Moreover, it is used as a chemical for waterproofing, paints, grouts, adhesives, coatings, and materials.

Thus, there is an increasing demand for propylene oxide from the various end-use industries, especially form the automotive and construction/infrastructure industry. Dow Inc. (US), AGC Inc. (Japan), and BASF SE (Germany) are some of the leading suppliers of propylene oxide. In 2020, the production volume of propylene oxide in Japan amounted to around 350 thousand tons and the sales volume amounted to around 281 thousand metric tons.
