Propylene ni ubwoko bwa olefin hamwe na formulike ya C3H6. Ntibara rifite ibara kandi rifite umucyo, hamwe n'ubucucike bwa 0.5486 g / cm3. Propylene ikoreshwa cyane cyane mu gukora polypropilene, polyester, glycol, butanol, n'ibindi, kandi ni kimwe mu bikoresho by'ibanze mu nganda zikora imiti. Mubyongeyeho, propylene irashobora kandi gukoreshwa nka moteri, icyuma gihuha nibindi bikoreshwa.

Ubusanzwe Propylene ikorwa no gutunganya uduce duto twa peteroli. Amavuta ya peteroli yatandukanijwemo ibice mu munara wa distillation, hanyuma uduce duto turusheho kunonosorwa mubice bya catalitike kugirango tubone propylene. Propylene itandukanijwe na gaze ya reaction muri catalitike yamenetse nigice cyo gutandukanya inkingi hamwe no kweza inkingi, hanyuma ikabikwa mububiko kugirango ikoreshwe.

Ubusanzwe Propylene igurishwa muburyo bwa gaze ya gaze cyangwa silinderi. Kugurisha byinshi, propylene ijyanwa mu ruganda rwabakiriya na tanker cyangwa umuyoboro. Umukiriya azakoresha propylene muburyo bwo gukora. Kugurisha gaze ya silinderi, propylene yuzuzwa muri silindiri yumuvuduko mwinshi hanyuma ikajyanwa muruganda rwabakiriya. Umukiriya azakoresha propylene muguhuza silinderi nigikoresho cyo gukoresha hamwe na hose.

Igiciro cya propylene cyibasiwe nimpamvu nyinshi, zirimo igiciro cya peteroli, itangwa nibisabwa ku isoko rya propylene, igipimo cy’ivunjisha, nibindi. Muri rusange, igiciro cya propylene kiri hejuru cyane, kandi ni ngombwa kwitondera imiterere yisoko igihe cyose mugihe uguze propylene.

Muri make, propylene ni ibikoresho byingenzi mu nganda zikora imiti, ikorwa cyane cyane no gutunganya uduce duto twa peteroli kandi ikoreshwa mugukora polypropilene, polyester, glycol, butanol, nibindi. Igiciro cya propylene cyibasiwe nibintu byinshi, kandi ni ngombwa kwitondera imiterere yisoko igihe cyose mugihe uguze propylene.
