Propylene oxide: Relationships
Every element and industry that Propylene oxide is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.
- Styrene: The PO/SM process makes about 2.3 tonnes of styrene with every tonne of propylene oxide, so a weak styrene market can close propylene oxide capacity; routes such as HPPO that make no styrene avoid this tie. (researched)
- Crude oil: Crude oil is a raw material for propylene oxide; their prices have moved together.
- Chlorine: Their prices have moved together.
- Furniture: Furniture depends on propylene oxide.
- Hydrogen peroxide: Their prices have moved together.
- Polyurethanes (MDI, TDI, polyols): Their prices have moved together.
- Propylene: Their prices have moved together.
- Unsaturated polyester resins: Their prices have moved together.
