Description

Ethene CAS NO 2669-89-8 is a fundamental hydrocarbon gas and a primary building block in the petrochemical industry. Its high reactivity and simple structure make it indispensable for synthesizing a vast array of essential polymers and industrial chemicals. This product is critical for manufacturers in the plastics, packaging, and automotive sectors seeking a reliable, high-purity feedstock for polymerization and chemical synthesis processes.

Application

• Polymer Production: The primary feedstock for the manufacture of polyethylene (PE), including HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE, used in films, containers, pipes, and household goods.
• Chemical Synthesis: A key intermediate in the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol (for antifreeze and polyester fibers), ethylbenzene (for styrene and polystyrene), and vinyl chloride (for PVC).
• Agrochemicals: Used in the synthesis of various pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Industrial Refrigerant: Employed as a refrigerant in low-temperature cascade refrigeration systems.
• Welding & Cutting: Utilized as a fuel gas in oxy-fuel welding and cutting torches for metals.
• Controlled Ripening Agent: Applied in agriculture to promote and control the ripening of fruits, such as bananas and tomatoes.

Quality Control

Our Ethene is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for demanding industrial applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as purity, moisture content, and specific impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of global supply chains.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, Ethene must be stored in approved, pressurized gas cylinders or cryogenic containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Storage areas should be equipped with proper gas detection systems. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity.
