Ethylene
Ethylene Gas — Versatile in Industry and Medicine:
- Pure ethylene gas, with up to 99.9% purity, is a versatile compound widely used in the chemical industry. It plays a crucial role in plastics, synthetic fibers, and organic chemical production, serving as a refrigerant and welding gas.
- In medicine, ethylene is vital for anaesthesia induction, forming a key component in aesthetic gas mixtures, including combinations with oxygen. Used in surgeries, it ensures safe and effective patient management during general anaesthesia.
Transparent Pricing for Ethylene Gas:
At SelenPharm we prioritize fairness in pricing for ethylene gas!
A common issue in the industry is the challenge of achieving precisely 10.5 kg of gas in a 40-litre ethylene cylinder. Many companies fill cylinders with 10 or 9 kg of gas, yet the buyer is billed for 10.5 kg.
Our approach is distinct! We meticulously weigh each cylinder both before and after filling. This ensures that the buyer pays only for the accurate amount of gas filled, eliminating unnecessary overpayments and ensuring transparency in every transaction.

The use of ethylene and other information
Ethylene gas is a colourless and flammable gas that is widely used in the chemical industry to produce plastics, synthetic fibers, and other organic chemicals. It is also used as a refrigerant and as a welding gas. Ethylene gas is produced by cracking natural gas, naphtha, and other petroleum derivatives. It is a highly reactive gas that can cause explosions if not handled properly.
Before using ethylene gas, it is important to ensure that the storage and handling equipment is in good condition and that all safety procedures are followed. Ethylene gas should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat and ignition. It is also important to ensure that the gas is not exposed to moisture or other contaminants.
Ethylene gas is typically used in the chemical industry to produce plastics, synthetic fibers, and other organic chemicals. It is also used as a refrigerant and as a welding gas. Ethylene gas can be used to jumpstart the fruit ripening process, or to move it farther along. When ethylene gas is used on climacteric fruit (fruit that continues ripening after harvest) that produce large amounts of ethylene gas naturally on their own, exogenous (external) ethylene stimulates the production of ethylene within the fruit itself. In medicine, ethylene is vital for anaesthesia induction, forming a key component in aesthetic gas mixtures, including combinations with oxygen. Used in surgeries, it ensures safe and effective patient management during general anaesthesia.
Ethylene is highly flammable and can cause explosions if not handled properly. It is also a simple asphyxiant. Ethylene gas can cause headaches, nausea, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and other problems if inhaled. It is important to handle ethylene gas with care and to follow strict safety protocols when handling it.
Ethylene gas should be stored upright in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, especially in warm climates. It should be stored under a roof to keep cylinders out of direct sunlight. Storage, unloading, and loading areas must be posted with “No Smoking” signs, with access restricted.
