Propylene oxide is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH3CHCH2O. This colorless volatile liquid with an odour resembling ether is produced on a large scale industrially. Its major application is its use for the production of polyether polyols for use in making polyurethane plastics. It is a chiral epoxide, although it is commonly used as a racemic mixture.
Propylene oxide can be used as a component for a variety of surfactants for gas dispersion, detergency, and friction reduction. Applications include detergents, paints, adhesives, and cosmetics. Propylene oxide can be reacted with phosphorous derivatives to create flame retardants.
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. About 20% of propylene oxide is hydrolyzed into propylene glycol, via a process that is accelerated by acid or base catalysis. Other major products are polypropylene glycol, propylene glycol ethers, and propylene carbonate.
Propylene oxide is commonly used in the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy, to remove residual ethanol previously used for dehydration. In a typical procedure, the sample is first immersed in a mixture of equal volumes of ethanol and propylene oxide for 5 minutes, and then four times in pure oxide, 10 minutes each.
