Ethylene | 74-85-1

Description :

Overview of Ethylene

Ethylene is one of the most important basic petrochemical building blocks used globally in plastics, polymers, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing. Chemically, ethylene has the molecular formula C₂H₄ and is the simplest alkene, characterised by a carbon–carbon double bond. It is a colourless, flammable gas with a faint, sweet odour.

From a molecular perspective, ethylene has a linear structure with a double bond, which gives it high reactivity and makes it ideal for polymerisation and chemical synthesis. The ethylene boiling point is approximately –103.7 °C, allowing it to be easily liquefied under pressure for industrial storage and transport. It is identified in regulatory and industrial systems by the ethylene CAS no 74-85-1.

Due to its versatility and large-scale demand, ethylene uses are entirely industrial and foundational to the chemical industry. ChemicalBull supplies industrial-grade Ethylene suitable for petrochemical processing and downstream manufacturing. Each supply is supported with complete documentation, including ethylene MSDS, COA, and technical safety data, ensuring compliance and safe industrial handling.
