Description

Propane CAS NO 40811-14-1 is a highly volatile, colorless, and odorless hydrocarbon gas, widely recognized as a fundamental fuel and chemical feedstock. Its high energy density and clean-burning properties make it a critical component for reliable energy supply and efficient chemical synthesis. This product is essential for industries ranging from energy and manufacturing to agriculture and food processing, where consistent quality and dependable supply are paramount.

Application

• Fuel Source: Primary component in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for residential, commercial, and industrial heating, cooking, and engine fuel.
• Chemical Feedstock: Key raw material in steam cracking for the production of ethylene and propylene, the building blocks for plastics and chemicals.
• Refrigerant: Used as an efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant (R-290) in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
• Aerosol Propellant: Employed as a propellant in various aerosol products, including paints, coatings, and insect sprays.
• Metal Processing: Utilized as a fuel for cutting, brazing, and heat treatment in metal fabrication due to its high flame temperature.
• Agricultural Applications: Used in flame weeding and crop drying processes.
• Laboratory Use: Serves as a fuel for Bunsen burners and as a calibration gas in analytical instruments.
