Linked from

The 20 pages that link to Ethylene, each with the reason it gives.

• AlkeneBroader topic: Ethylene is the smallest alkene and the central feedstock for many alkene-based products.

• EthanolRelated: Industrial hydration of ethylene offers a nonfermentation route to ethanol.

• PolyethyleneBroader topic: Its double bond opens during polymerization, linking ethylene units into polyethylene chains.

• BASFBroader topic: It is a key intermediate in BASF’s petrochemical value chains.

• Ethylene glycolRelated: Ethylene is oxidized to ethylene oxide, the immediate precursor for most ethylene glycol.

• EthaneCompared with: Unlike ethane, ethylene is unsaturated and reacts readily at its double bond.

• MonomerBroader topic: Ethylene is the monomer that forms polyethylene by addition polymerization.

• Steam crackingBroader topic: It is the principal product sought from many steam-cracking operations.

• PropyleneCompared with: Its smaller carbon skeleton produces different polymers and derivatives from propylene.

• Ethylene oxideBroader topic: Ethylene supplies the carbon skeleton for industrial ethylene oxide production.

• Petrochemical industryBroader topic: It is the industry's largest-volume organic chemical and a starting point for many product chains.

• PetrochemicalBroader topic: This major petrochemical building block feeds production of polyethylene and numerous derivatives.

• AcetyleneCompared with: It has the same number of carbon atoms as acetylene but a different bond and reactivity.

• Wacker processRelated: It is the carbon feedstock oxidized in the Wacker process.

• Karl ZieglerRelated: Ziegler’s catalysts join ethylene molecules into polyethylene chains.

• 1,2-DichloroethaneRelated: It reacts with chlorine to produce 1,2-dichloroethane in a principal manufacturing route.

• Dow Chemical CompanyRelated: Dow uses petrochemical feedstocks such as ethylene to make polymers and intermediates.

• Copper(I) chlorideRelated: Copper(I) chloride forms complexes with ethylene, a property used in separation and catalysis.

• Jurong IslandBroader topic: It is a key intermediate linking island crackers to polymer and chemical production.

• EthylenediamineRelated: Its two-carbon framework supplies the backbone between ethylenediamine’s amino groups.
