Description

Butane CAS NO 68527-17-3 is a highly versatile hydrocarbon gas, primarily a mixture of n-butane and isobutane, valued for its excellent properties as a fuel and chemical feedstock. Its high volatility and clean combustion profile make it a critical component for reliable energy and efficient chemical synthesis. This product is essential for industries requiring a portable, high-energy fuel source or a fundamental building block for petrochemical derivatives.

Application

• Fuel Production: Primary component in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for heating, cooking, and automotive fuel.
• Aerosol Propellant: Used as a propellant in personal care products, household sprays, and technical aerosols due to its favorable vapor pressure.
• Refrigerant: Serves as an efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant (R-600) in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
• Chemical Synthesis: Key feedstock for the production of ethylene and butadiene, which are precursors for plastics, synthetic rubber, and other polymers.
• Blowing Agent: Used in the manufacture of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam and other insulating materials.
• Portable Fuel: Fuel for lighters, camping stoves, and torches, prized for its portability and consistent performance.

Quality Control

Our Butane is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity for industrial applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as hydrocarbon composition, moisture content, and impurity levels. Our quality systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of the fuel, refrigerant, and chemical manufacturing sectors.

Storage

Store in approved, tightly sealed pressure vessels or cylinders in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, storage areas must comply with local regulations for flammable gases. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
