Propylene (C3H6) is a colorless, flammable, liquefied gas with a faintly sweet odor. It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure. Although similar to propane, it has a double bond which gives it a combustion advantage i.e. it burns hotter. This fuel gas is obtained during the refining of gasoline.
Besides, the chemical and plastics industries rely on propylene as a fuel gas, and it is used for efficiency testing of gas burners and engines.
