Ethylene is key in industry, especially for making plastics, textiles, and other materials.

Industrial Use

Don't confuse ethylene with ethanol; ethanol is an alcohol used in drinks and as fuel.

Not Ethanol

Ethylene is flammable and can be hazardous, often associated with industrial safety measures.

Safety Hazard

Ethylene is naturally occurring and influences agricultural practices, such as fruit ripening.

Agricultural Role

Understanding ethylene's role in ripening can help you store fruit better to control softness and taste.

Fruit Ripening

Ethylene is important in genetic engineering and biotechnology research for modifying plant growth.

Biotechnology Connection

 As you can see, the more ethylene glycol you add, the more protection you get, so why not go even higher? Well, it turns out you can have too much of a good thing because at higher proportions, the freezing point actually starts to go back up. The properties of the solution head towards the properties of ethylene glycol,

 Beyond nylon, we're also looking into production processes to manufacture other chemicals like ethylene and propylene. These are the main precursors to most of the plastic in the world. Through electrochemistry,
