Butane

Butane is a hydrocarbon gas that falls under the supply class Gases: Compressed And Liquefied in the supply group Chemicals And Chemical Products. It is a colorless and odorless gas at room temperature and is commonly used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and as a propellant in aerosol products.

Butane is highly flammable and can be easily ignited. It is commonly stored and transported in pressurized containers to maintain its liquefied state. When released from its container, it quickly evaporates and turns into a gas.

In addition to its use as a fuel, butane is also used as a solvent in various industries, including the production of rubber, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a refrigerant in some applications.

It is important to handle butane with caution and follow proper safety procedures when using or storing it, as it can be hazardous if not handled properly.
