What is Ethylene?

• Ethylene is a colorless, flame retardant gas with a faint odor that is slightly sweet and resembles the smell of damp and rot.
• This gas is non-toxic and has been used as an anesthetic in the past but isn’t currently used.
• The dangerous effects of this gas are: igniting and causing suffocation and dormancy if it is replaced with air.

Available grades:

The minimum grade available for commercial and industrial purposes is %99.5 and its laboratory and technical grade

%99.99 -%99.96 – %99.5

Tanks and maintenance:

• The maximum charge of ethylene in the cylinders is as follows:

1. The weight percentage of the intake is 31% for cylinders with a working pressure of 123 bar, 35.5% for cylinders with a working pressure of 163 bar, and 35.5% for cylinders with a working pressure of 163 bar.
2. Ethylene can also be transported in tube trailers, tanker trucks, and tanker trailers. It is also possible to transfer ethylene in bulk with the Pip Eline pipeline.

Compatible and incompatible materials:

• Due to the lack of corrosive properties in ethylene, ethylene can be used with any common metal.
• The use of butyl rubber in the presence of ethane gas is not recommended.
