Propylene (C3H6), also known as propene, is a colorless, flammable gas with a faint petroleum-like odor. It is a key unsaturated hydrocarbon and one of the most important intermediates in the petrochemical industry. Propylene is widely used in the production of polymers, chemicals, and as a combustion gas in industrial applications. Due to its versatility and reactivity, it plays a central role in manufacturing plastics, solvents, and fuels.
