Ethylene is a colorless gas with a sweetish taste and odor, which is of great value for all fields of industry.

Organic compound obtained by pyrolysis of petroleum distillates or saturated hydrocarbons (ethane, propane, butane), it is also a phytohormone for almost all plants.

  • colorless flammable gas
  • lighter than air with a faintly sweet odor
  • capable of explosive decomposition under increased pressure
  • capable of explosive decomposition at high temperatures or open flame in the presence of oxygen

The gas plays a key role in the organic synthesis of several substances for industrial, agricultural, electrical engineering, construction, food, and other sectors:

  • Polyethylene;
  • Acetic acid;
  • Vinyl acetate;
  • Ethanol;
  • Vinyl chloride/dichloroethane;
  • Ethylene oxide;
  • Ethylene glycol, etc.
