Ethylene, with the chemical formula C2H4, is an organic compound belonging to the hydrocarbon class and is the simplest alkene. It is a colorless, flammable gas with a slight sweet taste. Ethylene is widely used in the chemical industry and is an important raw material for synthesizing various chemical products, such as polyethylene, ethylene glycol, vinyl chloride, etc.

Molecular weight: 28.05 g/mol
Melting point: -169.4°C
Boiling point: -103.7°C
Density: 1.26 g/L (gaseous state)
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, readily soluble in organic solvents

Production method:
Ethylene is mainly produced through the petroleum cracking process, which includes steps such as high-temperature cracking, rapid cooling, compression and separation. In addition, ethylene can also be prepared through methods such as ethanol dehydration or natural gas conversion.

Polymerization: Ethylene is the main raw material for the production of polyethylene (PE) and is widely used in the manufacturing of plastic products.
2. Chemical raw materials: It is used for the production of various chemical products such as ethylene glycol, vinyl chloride, and styrene.
3. Agriculture: Ethylene can be used as a plant growth regulator to promote fruit ripening.
4. Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceutical industry, ethylene is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain drugs.

Purity: ≥99.5%
Moisture content: ≤50 ppm
Acidity (as HCl) : ≤1 ppm
Non-hydrocarbon impurities: ≤50 ppm

Ethylene is usually stored and transported in the form of compressed gas. It should be packaged in dedicated high-pressure steel cylinders or storage tanks and stored in a well-ventilated dedicated warehouse away from fire sources.
Safety Instructions:
Ethylene is a flammable and explosive gas. During its use and storage, safety operation procedures must be strictly followed. Avoid contact with open flames, high temperatures and oxidants. Operators should wear appropriate protective equipment and ensure good ventilation conditions.

At the exhibition, I actively interacted closely with the customers. Through warm greetings and friendly communication, I established a good first impression. I gave a detailed introduction to our products and services to ensure that customers have a full understanding of our advantages and features. During the communication process, I listened carefully to the customers' demands and suggestions in order to better meet their expectations.

Is ethylene harmful to the human body?
High concentrations of ethylene can cause dizziness and suffocation, but its toxicity is relatively low at room temperature. Avoid inhaling excessive amounts. Ensure good ventilation and wear protective equipment during operation.
How to deal with ethylene leakage?
Evacuate personnel immediately, cut off the source of fire and use explosion-proof equipment for ventilation. Small leaks can be adsorbed with inert materials, while large leaks need to be handled by professionals.

What is the impact of ethylene on the environment?
Ethylene itself is easily decomposable and has no ozone layer damage, but its combustion can produce carbon dioxide (CO2), which may exacerbate the greenhouse effect.
Why can ethylene ripen fruits?
Ethylene is a natural hormone of plants, which can trigger enzymatic reactions related to fruit ripening and promote changes in color, texture and flavor.
What factors affect the price of ethylene?
Crude oil prices, supply of raw materials (such as naphtha, ethane), production processes, market demands (such as in the plastic industry), etc.
