Products Description of Propylene oxide CAS#75-56-9
Propylene oxide is also known as vinyl chloride, 1,2-propylene oxide, propylene oxide, methyl ethylene oxide, referred to as P.O., a colorless, flammable, volatile liquid with an ether-like odor. Relative molecular weight 58.08. Relative density 0.823 (25°C). Melting point -112.13°C. Boiling point 34.23°C. Refractive index 1.3664. Flash point -35°C (closed). Ignition point 420°C. Vapor pressure (Pa): Chemicalbook 1.04×104 (-20°C), 2.80×104 (0°C), 6.53×104 (20°C), 7.59×104 (25°C). Soluble in water (40.5 at 20°C, 60 at 30°C), miscible with most general reagents. It forms a binary azeotrope with water (1%), with a azeotropic point of 39.9°C. It can also form binary azeotropes with dichloromethane, ether, cyclohexane, cyclopentane, pentene, etc.
