Butane
Commercial and high purity butane for fuel, aerosol and chemical use.
01 Overview
Butane delivers higher calorific value than propane and is the preferred LPG component in warm-climate markets. High purity grades serve aerosol propellant and lighter gas applications, where odour and residue specifications are considerably tighter than for fuel use.
