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.

Ethane is not typically considered a raw material because it is primarily used as a fuel source for heating and cooking. However, it can be further processed into petrochemicals such as ethylene, which is widely used as a raw material in various industries for the production of plastics and chemicals.
