EP Mix is a mixture of ethane and propane used for the production of ethylene. Ethylene is then used to create polyethylene.
Halogenation
Petroleum to PlasticsThe technological road from oil field to finished plastic product has numerous fascinating side trips. Here's the route taken in the petroleum-to-plastics process: 1. Petroleum is drilled and transported to a refinery.2. Crude oil and natural gas are refined into ethane, propane, hundreds of other petrochemical products and, of course, fuel for your car.3. Ethane and propane are "cracked" into ethylene and propylene, using high-temperature furnaces.4. Catalyst is combined with ethylene or propylene in a reactor, resulting in "fluff," a powdered material (polymer) resembling laundry detergent.5. Fluff is combined with additives in a continuous blender.6. Polymer is fed to an extruder where it is melted.7. Melted plastic is cooled then fed to a pelletizer that cuts the product into small pellets.8. Pellets are shipped to customers.9. Customers manufacture plastic products by using processes such as extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, etc.
definitely ethane, although propane has even more, and butane has more than propane, etc.
Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol; Chemical formula C2H6O2) is an organic compound widely used as an automotive antifreeze and a precursor to polymers. In its pure form, it is an odorless, colorless, syrupy, sweet-tasting liquid. Ethylene glycol is toxic, and ingestion can result in death.

EP Mix is a mixture of ethane and propane used for the production of ethylene. Ethylene is then used to create polyethylene.
Propane is the common name---I have never heard of it called anything else. Natural gas contains propane, but there is typically more methane and ethane in natural gas than there is propane.
ethane is CH3-CH3, an alkane ethylene is CH2=CH2, an alkene.
There are many compounds containing Carbon and Hydrogen: * Methane (CH4) * Ethane (C2H6) * Propane (C3H8) * Ethylene (C2H4) * Acetylene (C2H2)
Halogenation
Yes, predominately due to Ethylene's triple bond. The triple bond makes Ethylene more unstable than Ethane, therefore making Ethylene more volatile
