Propane
Commercial and refrigerant grade propane.
01 Overview
Propane is traded as a fuel gas, as a petrochemical cracker and PDH feedstock, and at high purity as refrigerant R290. Its low boiling point makes it the preferred LPG component in cold-climate markets where butane would not vaporise reliably.

- Commercial propane (95 % min)
- Refrigerant grade R290 (99.5 % min)
