I-Phylene oxide, eyaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi yi-PO, iyingxenye yamakhemikhali enezicelo eziningi embonini nasekuphila kwansuku zonke. I-molecule emithathu enamakhabhoni ene-athomu ye-oxygen exhumene nekhabhoni ngayinye. Lesi sakhiwo esiyingqayizivele sinikeza i-propelene oxide izakhiwo zayo ezihlukile kanye nokuguquguquka okuhlukahlukene.

Okunye ukusetshenziswa okuvame kakhulu kwe-oxide ye-oxide ukukhiqizwa kwe-polyurethane, impahla eguquguqukayo futhi eguquguqukayo kakhulu. I-Polyurethane isetshenziswa ezinhlobonhlobo zezicelo, kufaka phakathi ukufakwa, ukufakwa kwe-foam, upholstery, kanye nezimbobo. I-PO nayo isetshenziswa njengento yokuqala ukukhiqizwa kwamanye amakhemikhali, njenge-plylene glycol nama-polytheate polyols.

Embonini yezemithi, i-propelene oxide isetshenziswa njenge-solvent futhi iyaphendulwa ekukhiqizeni izidakamizwa ezahlukahlukene. Iphinde isetshenziswe njenge-co-monomer ekukhiqizeni i-polymerized ethylene glycol, eseyisetshenziselwa ukwenza imicu ye-polyester ne-antifreeze.

Ngaphezu kokusetshenziswa kwayo embonini, i-propenene oxide inezicelo eziningi empilweni yansuku zonke. Isetshenziswa njengento eluhlaza ekwenziweni kwabahlanzi bendlu, okokuhlanza, kanye nama-sanitizers. Kusetshenziswa futhi ekukhiqizweni kwemikhiqizo yokunakekelwa komuntu siqu efana nama-shampoos, i-conditioners kanye ne-lotions. I-PO iyisithako esibalulekile emikhiqizweni eminingi yezentengiso neyasendlini ngenxa yekhono layo lokuqeda ngempumelelo ukungcola kanye nokunye ukungcola.

I-Phylene oxide nayo isetshenziswa ekukhiqizweni kwezithasiselo zokudla kanye nokunambitheka. Isetshenziselwa ukulonda nokunambitha ububanzi bezinto zokudla, kufaka phakathi iziphuzo, izinkokhelo, kanye nokudla okulula. Ukunambitheka kwalo okumnandi kanye nezakhiwo zokulondolozwa zikwenza kube isithako esibalulekile emikhiqizweni eminingi yokudla.

Naphezu kwezicelo zayo ezibanzi ezibanzi, i-propelene oxide kumele iphathwe ngokunakekelwa ngenxa yokuvutha kwayo kanye nobuthi. Ukuchayeka ekugxiliseni okuphezulu kwe-PO kungadala ukucasuka emehlweni, esikhunjeni nasezinhlelweni zokuphefumula. Futhi i-carcinogenic futhi kufanele iphathwe ngokucophelela ngokweqile.

Ekuphetheni, i-propelene oxide iyikhemikhali elibalulekile elidlala indima ebalulekile embonini nasekuphileni kwansuku zonke. Isakhiwo saso esiyingqayizivele sikunikeza ukuguquguquka kwezicelo eziningi, ezisukela ekukhiqizweni kwe-polyurethane namanye ama-polymers kubahlanza basekhaya nezithasiselo zokudla. Kodwa-ke, kufanele kusingathwe ngokunakekela ngenxa yobuthi bayo nobubi. Ikusasa libukeka likhanyayo nge-oxide ye-propelene njengoba izinhlelo ezintsha ziqhubeka zitholakale, zikwenze kube ngumdlali obalulekile emhlabeni wamakhemikhali.
