Propylene Oxide Supplier
UAE

Propylene Oxide is used primarily as the feedstock for polyether polyol production (the basis of flexible and rigid polyurethane foam); for propylene glycol manufacturing; as a reagent for non-ionic surfactant production; for propylene carbonate used in battery electrolytes; and for isopropanolamines used in gas sweetening and specialty chemical applications across the UAE and GCC.

The CAS number for Propylene Oxide (methyloxirane, C₃H₆O) is 75-56-9. It is transported under UN 1280, classified as an extremely flammable liquid with a toxic subsidiary hazard.

Chelora Chemicals UAE is a dedicated Propylene Oxide supplier serving all seven UAE emirates. We stock high-purity (99.9%+) propylene oxide in pressurised ISO tanks and bulk road tanker, serving the polyurethane, glycol, surfactant and specialty chemical industries across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE delivers Propylene Oxide to all seven UAE emirates — Dubai (including Jebel Ali FZ, Al Quoz and DIP), Abu Dhabi (Musaffah, ICAD, KIZAD), Sharjah (SAIF Zone, Hamriyah FZ), Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — as well as to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and other GCC countries.

Propylene oxide has an extremely low boiling point (34.2 °C) and an exceptionally low flash point (−37 °C), making it highly volatile and flammable even at ambient temperatures. It must be stored and transported in pressure-rated, nitrogen-blanketed containment systems to prevent vapour loss, contain flammability risk and protect the reactive epoxide ring from moisture-induced polymerisation. Only trained personnel using appropriate equipment should handle it.

Propylene Oxide is the reactive epoxide intermediate — a highly flammable, volatile chemical used as feedstock. Propylene Glycol is the stable, low-hazard product formed by hydrolysing propylene oxide with water. Propylene glycol is widely used directly in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and antifreeze, while propylene oxide itself is almost never used directly outside of controlled industrial chemical synthesis.

Yes. Propylene Oxide is an extremely flammable liquid that forms explosive vapour-air mixtures at ambient temperature, and is classified as a suspected human carcinogen (IARC Group 2B) with significant skin, eye and respiratory irritation potential. It must be handled exclusively by trained personnel using pressure-rated equipment, inert gas blanketing and appropriate PPE. Always consult the batch-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with every shipment.

Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Propylene Oxide in pressurised ISO tank containers (standard for bulk transport and export) and bulk pressurised road tankers for large-volume UAE-based polyol, glycol and surfactant producers. All storage and transport uses nitrogen-blanketed, chemically compatible equipment and is correctly labelled under UN 1280.

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE regularly exports Propylene Oxide to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and wider markets, leveraging our proximity to Jebel Ali Port. We handle all export logistics including pressure-rated freight forwarding, customs documentation, certificate of origin (COO), dangerous goods declarations and safety data sheets in Arabic and English.
