Propylene waikurahe wai kore tae me te wai maramara me te tauira ngota o C3H6O. He wairewa ki te wai, he 94.5°C te ira koropuke. Ko te Propylene oxide he matū matū tauhohenga ka taea te tauhohe ki te wai.

Ina pa ana te propylene oxide ki te wai, ka puta te tauhohenga hauwai ki te hanga propylene glycol me te hauwai hauwai. Ko te whārite tauhohenga e whai ake nei:

C3H6O + H2O → C3H8O2 + H2O2

He exothermic te tukanga tauhohenga, a na te wera ka puta ka tere te piki o te pāmahana o te otinga. I tua atu, he ngawari hoki te propylene oxide ki te polymerize i te aroaro o te whakakorikori, te wera ranei, a, ko nga polymers i hangaia he koretake ki te wai. Ka taea e tenei te wehe i te waahanga me te wehe i te wai mai i te punaha tauhohenga.

Ka whakamahia te Propylene oxide hei rauemi mata mo te whakahiato o nga momo hua, penei i te surfactants, lubricants, plasticizers, etc. Ka whakamahia ano hoki hei whakarewa mo nga horoi horoi, awhina pueru, whakapaipai, me etahi atu. Ina whakamahia hei rauemi mata mo te whakahiato, me ata rongoa me te kawe te propylene oxide ki te karo i te pa ki te wai kia kore ai e pa ki te wai.

I tua atu, ka whakamahia ano te propylene oxide i roto i te hanga o te propylene glycol, he mea nui te takawaenga mo te hanga o te muka polyester, kiriata, plasticizer, me etahi atu Ko te tukanga whakaputa o te propylene glycol ko te whakamahi i te propylene glycol hei rauemi mata, me tino whakahaeretia i roto i te tukanga whakaputa kia kore ai e pa ki te wai kia pai ai te hanga.

Hei whakarāpopototanga, ka taea e te propylene oxide te urupare ki te wai. A, no te whakamahi i te propylene oxide hei rauemi mata mo te whakahiato, i roto ranei i te mahi whakaputa, me aro ki tana rokiroki haumaru me te kawe waka kia kore ai e pa atu ki te wai me nga aitua haumaru.
