Propylene Shutdown Systems About Propylene (CH2CHCH3)Propylene is a colorless gas with an olefin odor at standard temperature and pressure. It is a simple asphyxiant and is very flammable. Skin contact with evaporating liquid propylene can cause local freezing and frostbite. Propylene is used in the manufacture of plastics and in biodegradable, non-toxic antifreeze. It is shipped in pressurized containers and tank cars. Synonym: Propene Accidental Release of PropyleneIn the event of an accidental release of propylene, it is important to remove any sources of ignition and to shut off the source of the gas.
