Why is ethane not a raw material?
Because ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon and does not undergo the chemical reactions easily.Answer:Ethane, whether produced as a fraction of natural gases or from cracking of hydrocarbons, is as a raw material in the production of ethylene.Ethane is also a feedstock for acetic acid by ethane oxidation in Saudi Arabia.
What type of organic molecule is ethane?
Ethane is a chemical compound with chemical formula C2H6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas, and as a byproduct of petroleum refining. Its chief use is as petrochemical feedstock for ethylene production.

Is polyethylene a raw material?
No Polyethylene(one of the commonly known plastics) is created through polymerization of ethene (also known as Ethylene). Ethylene is created by steam cracking. Basically mixing really hot steam around (850 C) with ethane, LPGs or light naphthas. Some of the product of the reaction is Ethylene. Naphthas comes from the refining of crude oil and Ethane comes from natural gas.
