Application

Propylene is a colourless, flammable, and liquefied gas that is heavier than air. It is used as feedstock for polypropylene and is a precursor for acetone, isopropanol, acrylonitrile among other organics. Gas is easy to handle in a small, light pressure can, while the disposable container allows for aluminium recycling when finished.
